Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to a double individual-addressing multi-beam Raman system for use in QIP systems. A technique is described in which a first multi-channel modulator (MCM), a first telecentric zoom lens, and a first interleaver that form a first optical path of the Raman system that receives a first array of beams and adjusts the first array of beams to individually address atomic-based qubits in a chain from a first direction. Moreover, a second MCM, a second telecentric zoom lens, and a second interleaver form a second optical path of the Raman system that receives a second array of beams and adjusts the second arrays of beams to individually address the atomic-based qubits in the chain from a second direction different from the first direction.

A QIP system is also described that is configured to use AODs in optical Raman transitions to implement single-qubit gates and two-qubit gates.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems. Coherent optical manipulations in such QIP systems may require interferometric stability between the incident laser beams and the atomic-based qubit (or other type of qubit) being addressed. Mechanical vibrations that affect the position of the qubit with respect to the incident laser beams directly contribute to optical phase differences and reduce fidelity. A technique is described herein that is used to mitigate or reduce optical phase differences arising from vibrations of the qubits with respect to the incident laser beams. This technique is generally applicable to any condition that results in such vibrations and systems needing interferometric stability and is compatible with cryogenic environments.

Abstract: The use of multiple ion chains in a single ion trap for quantum information processing (QIP) systems is described. Each chain can have its own set of laser beams with which to implement and operate quantum gates within that chain, where each chain may therefore correspond to a single quantum computing register or core. Operations can be performed in parallel across all of these chains as they can be treated independently from each other. To implement and operate quantum gates between different chains, neighboring chains are merged into a single, larger chain, in which one can perform quantum gates between any of the ions in the larger chain. The combined chains can then be separated again by another shuttling event as needed. To implement and operate quantum gates between ions which do not occupy neighboring chains, swap gates can be used via a sequence of intervening chains.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an LED lighting system for use in promoting biological growth. In one embodiment, the lighting system includes a plurality of “N” bar-like LED modules. Each of the LED modules is of the same length and the length is determined by the number of same-length LED circuit boards supported in an end-to-end manner by the LED module. The lighting system also includes a pair of bar-like end modules adapted to rigidly engage no more than “N” LED modules to realize a module structure in which the LED modules and the end modules respectively form the rungs and rails of a ladder-like structure. The lighting system is readily scalable in the length of the of the LED modules, as determined by the number of LED circuit boards supported, and in the number of LED modules supported by the pair of end modules.
