Qubit ZooOriginal proposal for trapped-ion quantum computation. Introduces the Cirac-Zoller gate: a CNOT between two ions mediated by the shared motional mode of the ion chain. Foundation of all trapped-ion quantum computing.
Key Results
- Two-qubit CNOT via coupling to center-of-mass phonon mode
- Requires individual addressing of ions with focused laser beams
- Scalable to N ions in a linear Paul trap
- First concrete, physically realizable proposal for universal quantum computation
