Trapped Ion Quantum Computer Research at Los Alamos

Authors

Description

We briefly review the development and theory of an experiment to investigate quantum computation with trapped calcium ions. The ion trap, laser and ion requirements are determined, and the parameters required for simple quantum logic operations are described
