ms_simulate

boulderopal.ions.ms_simulate(drives, duration, lamb_dicke_parameters, relative_detunings, target_phases=None, sample_count=128)

Simulate a Mølmer–Sørensen-type operation on a system composed of ions.

This function builds a graph describing the Mølmer–Sørensen operation and calls boulderopal.execute_graph to simulate the ion dynamics.

Parameters

  • drives (list [Drive ]) – A list of drives addressing the ions. Each ion can only be addressed by a single drive, but there may be ions not addressed by any drive.
  • duration (float) – The duration, in seconds, of the dynamics to be simulated, TT
  • lamb_dicke_parameters (np.ndarray) – The laser-ion coupling strength, {ηjkl}\{\eta_{jkl}\}(3, N, N), where the dimensions indicate, respectively, axis, collective mode, and ion.
  • relative_detunings (np.ndarray) – The difference {δjk=νjk−δ}\{\delta_{jk} = \nu_{jk} - \delta\} (in Hz) between each motional mode frequency and the laser detuning from the qubit transition frequency ω0\omega_0(3, N), where the dimensions indicate, respectively, axis and collective mode.
  • target_phases (np.ndarray or None , optional) – The target total relative phases between ion pairs, {Ψln}\{\Psi_{ln}\}(N, N). Ψln\Psi_{ln} with l>nl > n indicates the relative phase between ions ll and nn, while Ψln=0\Psi_{ln} = 0 for l≤nl \leq n
  • sample_count (int , optional) – The number of times TT

Returns

The result of the execute_graph call. Its output item is a dictionary containing information about the evolution of the system, with the following keys:

sample_times : The times at which the evolution is sampled, as an array of shape (T,).

phases : Acquired phases $\{\Phi_{ln}(t_i) = \phi_{ln}(t_i) + \phi_{nl}(t_i)\}$ for each sample time and for all ion pairs, as a strictly lower triangular matrix of shape (T, N, N). $\Phi_{ln}(t_i)$ with $l > n$ indicates the relative phase between ions $l$ and $n$, while $\Phi_{ln}(t_i) = 0$ for $l \leq n$.

displacements : Displacements $\{\eta_{jkl}\alpha_{jkl}(t_i)\}$ for all mode-ion combinations, as an array of shape (T, 3, N, N), where the dimensions indicate, respectively, time, axis, collective mode, and ion.

infidelities : A 1D array of length T with the operational infidelities of the Mølmer–Sørensen gate at each sample time, $\mathcal{I}(t_i)$. Only returned if target relative phases are provided.
