Efficient Characterization of a Unitary Quantum Gate via a Projective Rabi Experiment
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-09)In this thesis, we introduce a novel randomization-based protocol for estimation of parameters in a sparse Hamiltonian. This is achieved via a projective Rabi experiment which interleaves projective channels between ... -
Flag Fault-Tolerant Error Correction with Qudits
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)In this thesis, I explore fault-tolerant quantum error correction using qudits. I show that a specific flag-fault-tolerant procedure for the five-qubit code may be extended to work on the five qudit code for any prime ... -
Measuring Trapped Ion Qudits
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Quantum information has typically focused on using 2-level qubits to perform simulation and computation. We propose to expand the number of levels for computation using qudits, where \(d>2\). Doing so could be a viable ... -
Tolerable Experimental Imperfections for a Quadrupole Blade Ion Trap and Practical Qudit Gates with Trapped Ions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Trapped ions are one of the leading technologies in quantum information technology due to their long coherence time and low noise presence. For trapping ions, there are a plethora of ion trap architectures. Among them ... -
Towards Dual-Isotope Entangling Gates for Trapped-Ion Quantum Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-14)Entangling gates are essential to the development in the capabilities of any trapped-ion quantum computer. High-fidelity entangling gates have previously been demonstrated on trapped-ion quantum hardware with single species ... -
