Optimized Dynamical Decoupling in a Model Quantum Memory

April 23, 2009
Author(s)
Michael J. Biercuk, Hermann Uys, Aaron Vandevender, N. Shiga, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland, John J. Bollinger
We demonstrate the efficacy of optimized dynamical decoupling pulse sequences in suppressing phase errors in a model quantum memory. Our experimental system consists of a crystalline array of trapped 9Be + ions in which we drive a qubit transition at $\sim

High Fidelity Transport of Trapped-Ion Qubits through an X-Junction Trap Array

April 17, 2009
Author(s)
Brad R. Blakestad, Aaron Vandevender, Christian Ospelkaus, Jason Amini, Joseph W. Britton, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Trapped ions are a useful system for studying the elements of quantum information processing. Simple alogrithms have been demonstrated, but scaling to much larter tasks requires the ability to manipulate many qubits. To achieve this, ions could be

Quantum Teleportation with Atomic Qubits

Alpha-Dot or Not: Comparison of Two Single Atom Optical Clocks

October 5, 2008
Author(s)
Till P. Rosenband, David Hume, Chin-Wen Chou, J.C. Koelemeij, A. Brusch, Sarah Bickman, Windell Oskay, Tara M. Fortier, Jason Stalnaker, Scott A. Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury, William C. Swann, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland, James C. Bergquist
Repeated measurements of the frequency ratio of Hg + and Al + single-atom optical clocks over the course of a year yield a constraint on the possible temporal variation of the fine-structure constant a. The time variation of the measured ratio corresponds

Recent atomic clock comparisions at NIST

October 1, 2008
Author(s)
Luca Lorini, Neil Ashby, Anders Brusch, Scott Diddams, Robert E. Drullinger, Eric Eason, Tara Fortier, Pat Hastings, Thomas P. Heavner, David Hume, Wayne M. Itano, Steven R. Jefferts, Nathan R. Newbury, Tom Parker, Till P. Rosenband, Jason Stalnaker, William C. Swann, David J. Wineland, James C. Bergquist
The record of atomic clock frequency comparisons at NIST over the past half-decade provides one of the tightest constraints of any present-day, temporal variations of the fundamental constants. Notably, the 6-year record of increasingly precise

Trapped-Ion Quantum Logic Gates Based on Oscillating Magnetic Fields

August 29, 2008
Author(s)
Christian Ospelkaus, Christopher Langer, Jason Amini, Kenton R. Brown, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Oscillating magnetic fields and field gradients can be used to implement single-qubit rotations and entangling multi-qubit quantum gates for trapped-ion quantum information processing (QIP). With fields generated by currents in microfabricated surface

Ratio of the Al + and Hg + Optical Clock Frequencies to 17 Decimal Places

August 25, 2008
Author(s)
Wayne M. Itano, Till P. Rosenband, David Hume, P.O. Schmidt, Chin-Wen Chou, A. Brusch, Luca Lorini, Windell Oskay, Robert E. Drullinger, Sarah Bickman, Tara M. Fortier, Jason Stalnaker, Scott A. Diddams, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury, David J. Wineland, James C. Bergquist
Frequency standards (atomic clocks) based on narrow optical transitions in 27Al + and 199Hg + have been developed over the past several years at NIST. These two types of standards are both based on single ions confined in Paul traps, but differ in the

Quantum Computing With Ions

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe
This article briefly describes methods to generate entanglement and implement quantum information processing with the use of trapped ions. It is intended to give a simple introduction to the techniques involved, the status of the field and indicate future

Entangled states of trapped atomic ions

June 19, 2008
Author(s)
Rainer Blatt, David J. Wineland
This article reviews recent experiments on entanglement and quantum information processing that use trapped ions.  It is intended to give a brief summary of the status of the field and indicate future directions and challenges.

Frequency ratio of Al + and Hg + single-ion optical clocks; metrology at the 17th decimal place

March 6, 2008
Author(s)
Till P. Rosenband, David Hume, P. O. Schmidt, Chin-Wen Chou, Anders Brusch, Luca Lorini, Windell Oskay, Robert E. Drullinger, Tara M. Fortier, Jason Stalnaker, Scott A. Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury, W Swann, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland, James C. Bergquist
We report the frequency ratio of the two most accurate and stable atomic clocks with a total fractional uncertainty of 5.2 X 10 -17 . This frequency ratio is the best-known physical constant that is not a simple integer. Repeated measurements during the

Fluorescence during Doppler cooling of a single trapped atom

Janus Wesenberg, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Brad R. Blakestad, Joseph W. Britton, Ryan Epstein, Jonathan Home, Wayne M. Itano, John D. Jost, Emanuel H. Knill, C. Langer, R. Ozeri, Signe Seidelin, David J. Wineland
We investigate the temporal dynamics of Doppler cooling of a single trapped atom in the weak binding regime using a semi-classical model. We develop an analytical model for the simplest case of a single vibrational mode for a harmonic trap, and show how

Passive Cooling of a Micromechanical Oscillator with a Resonant Electric Circuit

September 28, 2007
Author(s)
Kenton R. Brown, Joseph W. Britton, Ryan Epstein, John Chiaverini, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Currently there is considerable interest in the cooling of macroscopic mechanical oscillators, as strong cooling may allow one to reach the quantum regime of such oscillators. Recent advances in microfabrication and cooling techniques have brought this
