Patent number: 12317403Abstract: An atomic object confined in a particular region of an atomic object confinement apparatus is cooled using an S-to-P-to-D EIT cooling operation. A controller associated with the atomic object confinement apparatus controls first and second manipulation sources to respectively provide first and second manipulation signals to the particular region. The first manipulation signal is characterized by a first wavelength corresponding to a transition between an S manifold and a P manifold of a first component of the atomic object and detuned from the S-to-P transition by a first detuning. The second manipulation signal is characterized by a second wavelength corresponding to a transition between the P manifold and a D manifold of the first component and detuned from the P-to-D transition by a second detuning. The first and second detunings selected to establish a dark state associated with a two-photon transition between the S manifold and the D manifold.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2022Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: Quantinuum LLCInventors: Michael Feig, Brian Estey, Christopher Gilbreth

Publication number: 20240256936Abstract: A quantum computing four-tone phase insensitive Mølmer-Sørensen gate system comprises a confinement apparatus, manipulation source(s), and beam path system(s). The confinement apparatus is configured to confine quantum objects. A qubit space of the quantum objects is defined comprising two qubit states. The manipulation source(s) is configured to generate first, second, third, and fourth manipulation signals. The first and fourth manipulation signals are configured to interact to provide a red sideband signal corresponding to a Raman transition between the two qubit states. The second and third manipulation signals are configured to interact to provide a blue sideband signal corresponding to the Raman transition. The beam path system(s) defines first and second beam paths. The first (second) beam path is configured to provide the first and second (third and fourth) manipulation signals to the defined location. A non-zero angle exists between the first and second beam paths at the defined location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventors: Michael Feig, John Gaebler

Publication number: 20220382709Abstract: A quantum computer controller receives a quantum circuit comprising circuit slices. The first slice comprises a past causal cone of a first system qubit wire at a fully evolved level of the circuit. An i-th slice contains all gates that are within a past causal cone of a system qubit wire that reaches the fully evolved level in slice i that are not in the past causal cone of a system qubit wire that reaches the fully evolved level in slice i?j. The controller causes execution of the i-th slice using the physical qubits; causes a physical qubit that was evolved along a system qubit wire to the fully evolved level via execution of the i-th slice to be reinitialized and reintroduced onto a system qubit wire at a base level of the i+m-th slice; and causes the quantum computer to use the physical qubit to execute the i+m-th slice.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Michael Feig, Andrew C.

Patent number: 10733524Abstract: A quantum computing D-state AC-Stark shift gate system comprises at least one gate manipulation source and one or more ions trapped in an ion trap. The at least one gate manipulation source is configured to generate a first gate manipulation signal and a second gate manipulation signal. The first and second gate manipulation signals couple an ion between a set of S-states and a set of D-states. The first and second gate manipulation signals apply a force to an ion of the one or more ions that is dependent on the internal state of the ion. The first and second gate manipulation signals are configured to couple internal states of the ions to their motional state without appreciably altering a population of the ions within the set of S-states.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Michael Feig, Jonathon Sedlacek, Mark Kokish, Christopher Langer, John Gaebler, Daniel Stack, Bryce J.
