  • Publication number: 20240121504
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a camera server for heterogeneous cameras. Image data may be received from a first camera and second image data from a second camera of a heterogenous system that may be a trapped ion quantum computer. The first camera may observe trapped ions. The second camera may observe optical systems and laser beams. The second image data may have a different format than the first image data. The image data and the second image data may be converted into a format for a common data structure for image data. The image data may be sent in the format for the common data structure for image data to client computing devices. The second image data may be sent in the format for the common data structure for image data to additional client computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20230129122
    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 techniques for removing or correcting for translation errors between a programmed strength and an applied strength of quantum gates. A method is described that includes determining, for each quantum gate in a quantum operation, a non-linearity between an applied strength of a laser beam used for the respective quantum gate and a programmed strength intended to be applied by the laser beam for the respective quantum gate. The method further includes linearizing the non-linearity for each quantum gate and storing linearization information in memory. Moreover, the method includes applying the linearization information to correct for the non-linearity when implementing each quantum gate as part of the quantum operation. A system is also described that is configured to implement the method described above.

The first camera may observe trapped ions. The second camera may observe optical systems and laser beams. The second image data may have a different format than the first image data. The computing device may convert the image data and the second image data into a format for a common data structure for image data, send the image data in the format for the common data structure for image data to client computing devices, and send the second image data in the format for the common data structure for image data to additional client computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20230039901
    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.
