Abstract: Systems and methods are described for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to implementation of streaming gates.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a port server for heterogeneous hardware. A port server may include computing devices that may include multiple connection types. Storage devices may be connected to the computing devices. The computing devices may receive a communication from an external computing device intended for a hardware device of a heterogenous system over one of the connection types. The communication may be sent to the hardware device of the heterogenous system using one of the connection types. A response may be received from the hardware device of the heterogenous system over the connection type used to send the communication to the hardware device. The response from the hardware device of the heterogenous system may be sent to the external computing device over the connection type over which the communication was received from the external computing device.

Abstract: Techniques to address the problem of having micromotion and stray fields affect trapped ions and the operation of QIP systems based on trapped ions are described. For example, one technique or approach may involve collecting scattered photons off the ions using a resonant or near-resonant oscillating electric field (e.g., a laser beam or a microwave source) with some projection in the axis or direction of micromotion that one wishes to reduce. Another technique or approach may include raising and lowering the trapping potentials to see how the ion position changes. The information collected from these techniques may be used to provide appropriate adjustments. Accordingly, the present disclosure describes methods, scripts, or techniques that minimize the effects of micromotion.
