Trapped ions in RF traps are a well-established platform for analog and variational quantum simulation of quantum many-body systems. Up to now, ions in linear Paul traps allow for simulations of the 1D Ising model with up to 50 spins. In our project, we aim for extending this approach to the second dimension which will enable studies of 2D spin models with a larger particle number. Our new ion...

The quantum properties underlying a wide range of natural materials, such as topological matter or interesting molecules, have proven too complex to understand using classical physics and standard computation. The field of digital quantum simulation has been developed in order to study the behaviour of quantum systems by replicating the energy dynamics in a controlled, gate-based manner. The...

Abstract:
Quantum technologies employing trapped ion qubits are currently some of the most advanced systems with regards to experimental methods in quantum computation, simulation and metrology. This is primarily due to the excellent control available over the ion’s motional and electronic states. By treating the ions as composite quantum systems, with qubit states that can be addressed by...
