Engineering spin-spin interactions with optical tweezers in trapped ions

Juan Diego Arias Espinoza,
Matteo Mazzanti,
Katya Fouka
et al.

Abstract: We propose a new method for generating programmable interactions in one-and two-dimensional trapped-ion quantum simulators. Here we consider the use of optical tweezers to engineer the soundwave spectrum of trapped ion crystals. We show that this approach allows us to tune the interactions and connectivity of the ion qubits beyond the power-law interactions accessible in current setups. We demonstrate the experimental feasibility of our proposal using realistic tweezer settings and experimentally relevant trap… Show more

“…Throughout the discussion, the dynamics of the mediating dipole field is simply described by the Maxwell equation and the corresponding Green function. Thus, by properly changing to some other field equations, this approach can be generalized to study the interaction mediated by other kinds of fields, such as the excitonpolariton or phonon field [15,24,44,45].…”

“…We shall note that the interaction strength in reality deviates from the powerlaw shape as one moves towards the edges of the ion string. However, it has been shown lately that interactions can be realized more appropriately by applying additional optical tweezers [34]. The Hamiltonian, and the dynamics following the initial states we consider here have already been realized in FIG.…”
