Deterministic entanglement of ions in thermal states of motion
We give a detailed description of the implementation of a Mølmer–Sørensen gate entangling two 40Ca+ ions using a bichromatic laser beam near-resonant with a quadrupole transition. By amplitude pulse shaping and compensation of ac-Stark shifts we achieve a fast gate operation without compromising the error rate. Subjecting different input states …
