SubsidieMeestersQuantum Information Processing in High-Dimensional Ion Trap Systems
This project aims to develop a trapped-ion quantum processor utilizing multi-level qudits to enhance quantum information processing and achieve quantum advantage over classical systems.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Quantum processors have taken the binary paradigm of classical computing to the quantum realm and are starting to outperform the best classical devices. Yet, neither the underlying quantum information carriers, nor many of the targeted problems naturally fit into this two-level paradigm.
Project Aim
In this project, I aim to break this paradigm. Instead of restricting the rich Hilbert space of trapped ions to only two levels, the proposed research will make full use of the multi-level (qudit) structure as a resource for quantum information processing. This will unlock unused potential within quantum processors and bring near-term intermediate-scale quantum devices into a regime well beyond classical capabilities.
Rethinking Quantum Information Processing
Furthermore, the availability of high-performing qudit quantum hardware will stimulate a rethinking of the way we approach quantum information processing. This ambitious goal will be achieved by designing and implementing a trapped-ion quantum processor, tailored for qudits.
Device Development
Building on the full toolbox of atomic physics, this device will benefit from ongoing developments for binary systems, while featuring significantly extended capabilities, including novel ways of interacting qudits for resource-efficient processing.
Objectives
Using this hardware, we aim to achieve two objectives:
- Develop tools for and demonstrate native qudit quantum information processing from simulation to computation.
- Show that the platform outperforms not only qubit systems but also the best classical devices through the demonstration of a quantum advantage.
Broader Impact
I am convinced that this project will stimulate a number of research directions beyond its immediate goals, including:
- Application-tailored quantum computing
- Advanced quantum communication
- Quantum metrology
Personal Background
My strong background in several quantum technology platforms, as well as my track record in (multi-level) quantum information processing, puts me in a unique position to realize the ambitious goals of this project.
