Abstract
A method and system is provided for operating a quantum information processing (QIP) system, including a dual-space, single-species architecture for trapped-ion quantum information processing. An exemplary method of operating quantum information processing (QIP) system includes applying a global optical beam to a plurality of dual-space, single-species (DSSS) trapped ions; and applying at least one Raman beam of a plurality of Raman beams to a DSSS trapped ion of the plurality of DSSS trapped ions to transition a qubit associated with the DSSS trapped ion from a ground state, a metastable state, or an optical state to a different state.

A method of operating a quantum information processing (QIP) system, comprising:
- applying a global optical beam to a plurality of dual-space, single-species (DSSS) trapped ions, wherein each single species trapped ion has a configuration with two separate Hilbert spaces including a ground state and a metastable state;
- and
- applying at least one Raman beam of a plurality of Raman beams to a DSSS trapped ion of the plurality of DSSS trapped ions to transition a qubit associated with the DSSS trapped ion from the ground state, the metastable state, or an optical state to a different state.
A quantum information processing (QIP) system, comprising:
- a plurality of dual-space, single-species (DSSS) trapped ions, wherein each single species trapped ion has a configuration with two separate Hilbert spaces consisting of a ground state and a metastable state;
- a global optical beam configured to address the plurality of DSSS trapped ions;
- and
- a plurality of Raman beams that are each configured to individually address at least one DSSS trapped ion of the plurality of DSSS trapped ions for transitioning a qubit associated with one or more DSSS trapped ions from the ground state, the metastable state, or an optical state to a different state.
A quantum information processing (QIP) system, comprising:
- a memory having instructions stored therein;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- apply a global optical beam to a plurality of dual-space, single-species (DSSS) trapped ions, wherein each single species trapped ion has a configuration with two separate Hilbert spaces consisting of a ground state and a metastable state;
- and
- apply at least one Raman beam of a plurality of Raman beams to a DSSS trapped ion of the plurality of DSSS trapped ions to transition a qubit associated with the DSSS trapped ion from the ground state, the metastable state, or an optical state to a different state.
