Benchmarking memory and logic gates for trapped-ion quantum computing

Thesis

Trapped ions are a promising platform for experimental quantum computing, possessing the longest decoherence times and the highest fidelity logic gates of any candidate technology. The challenge remains to scale up ion-trap systems to larger numbers of qubits. This thesis benchmarks two fundamental operations for scalable trapped-ion quantum computing: the memory performance of a ⁴³Ca⁺ hyperfine qubit, and mixed-element entangling gates between ⁴³Ca⁺
