We theoretically investigate the use of fast pulsed two-qubit gates for trapped ion quantum computing in a two-dimensional microtrap architecture. In one dimension, such fast gates are optimal when employed between nearest neighbors, and we examine the generalization to a two-dimensional geometry. We demonstrate that fast pulsed gates are capable of implementing high-fidelity entangling operations between ions in neighboring traps faster than the trapping period, with experimentally…

Fast entangling gates in long ion chains
TLDR
It is found that population transfer efficiencies of above $99.9\% from individual ultra-fast pulses is the threshold for realising high-fidelity gates, which may be achievable in near-future experiments.
Ultra-fast two-qubit ion gate using sequences of resonant pulses
We propose a new protocol to implement ultra-fast two-qubit phase gates with trapped ions using spin-dependent kicks induced by resonant transitions. By only optimizing the allocation of the arrival…

A Two-Dimensional Architecture for Fast Large-Scale Trapped-Ion Quantum Computing
TLDR
An architecture for large-scale quantum computing with a two-dimensional array of atomic ions trapped at such large distance which is convenient for ion-trap fabrication but usually believed to be unsuitable for quantum computing as the conventional gates would be too slow is proposed.

Micromotion-enhanced fast entangling gates for trapped-ion quantum computing
RF-induced micromotion in trapped ion systems is typically minimised or circumvented to avoid off-resonant couplings for adiabatic processes such as multi-ion gate operations. Non-adiabatic…
Optimized fast gates for quantum computing with trapped ions
TLDR
An efficient approach to optimising pulse sequences for implementing fast entangling two-qubit gates on trapped ion quantum information processors and proposes two novel gate schemes that outperform existing schemes in terms of achievable gate speed and fidelity for feasible laser repetition rates.
Interference in a Prototype of a Two-Dimensional Ion Trap Array Quantum Simulator.
TLDR
A basic triangular array of three individually trapped ions is operated, tunable in real time and enabling interference in 2D, an essential building block for a reconfigurable quantum simulator.

Ultrafast coherent excitation of a 40Ca+ ion
Trapped ions are a well-studied and promising system for the realization of a scalable quantum computer. Faster quantum gates would greatly improve the applicability of such a system and allow for…
A Comparison of the Bravyi–Kitaev and Jordan–Wigner Transformations for the Quantum Simulation of Quantum Chemistry
TLDR
This paper uses 86 molecular systems to demonstrate that the use of the Bravyi–Kitaev transformation is typically at least approximately as efficient as the canonical Jordan–Wigner transformation and results in substantially reduced gate count estimates when performing limited circuit optimizations.
