ms_infidelity

ions.ms_infidelity(phases, displacements, target_phases, mean_phonon_numbers=None, *, name=None)

Calculate the final operational infidelity of the Mølmer–Sørensen gate.

This function calculates the operational infidelity with respect to the target phases that you specify in the target_phases array. It can use the tensors returned from ms_phases and ms_displacements to calculate the infidelity tensor.

Parameters:
  • phases (np.ndarray(real) or Tensor(real)) – The acquired phases between ion pairs, \(\{\Phi_{ln}\}\). Its shape must be (N, N) without time samples or (T, N, N) with them, where T is the number of samples and N is the number of ions. For each sample, the phases array must be a strictly lower triangular matrix.

  • displacements (np.ndarray(complex) or Tensor(complex)) – The motional displacements in phase-space, \(\{\eta_{jkl} \alpha_{jkl}\}\). Its shape must be (3, N, N_d) without time samples or (T, 3, N, N_d) with them, where the dimensions indicate, respectively, (time,) axis, collective mode, and ion. Here, N_d is the number of addressed ions.

  • target_phases (np.ndarray(real)) – The target total relative phases between ion pairs, \(\{\Psi_{ln}\}\), as a strictly lower triangular matrix of shape (N, N).

  • mean_phonon_numbers (np.ndarray or None, optional) – The mean phonon occupation of motional modes, \(\{\bar{n}_{jk}\}\). Its shape must be (3, N), where the dimensions indicate, respectively, axis and collective mode. If provided, must contain positive real numbers. If not provided, \(\bar{n}_{jk} = 0\), meaning no occupation of each mode.

  • name (str or None, optional) – The name of the node.

Returns:

A scalar or 1D tensor of infidelities with shape (T,).

Return type:

Tensor(real)

Notes

The infidelity is calculated according to [1]

\[1 - \mathcal{F}_\mathrm{av} = 1 - \left| \left( \prod_{n=1}^N \prod_{l=n+1}^N \cos ( \Phi_{ln} - \Psi_{ln}) \right) \left( 1 - \sum_{j=1}^3 \sum_{k=1}^N \sum_{l=1}^N \left[ |\eta_{jkl} \alpha_{jkl}|^2 \left(\bar{n}_{jk}+\frac{1}{2} \right) \right] \right) \right|^2 ,\]

which assumes that the displacements \(\alpha_{jkl}\) are small and eliminates terms of the fourth or higher order in them.

See the notes of Graph.ions.ms_phases or Graph.ions.ms_phases_multitone for the relevant definitions.
