Classical vs. Quantum• In a classical computer, the data is represented in series of bits, each taking a value of either 0 or 1.
• Classical computation consists of operations on single bits (NOT) and multiple bits (e.g. NAND).
• In a quantum computer, the data is represented in series of quantum bits, or qubits, each taking a value of |0, |1 or any superposition of |0 and |1.
• Quantum computation consists of operations on single qubits (called rotations) and multiple bits (e.g. CNOT - the Controlled-NOT gate).

Cirac-Zoller CNOT gate – the classic trapped ion gate
Ions are too far apart, so their spins do not talk to each other directly.
To create an effective spin-spin coupling, “control” spin state is mapped on to the motional “bus” state, the target spin is flipped according to its motion state, then motion is remapped onto the control qubit.

“Hybrid” System: Small(ish) Ion Trap and Optical Interconnects
We want to combine a number of “small” (10 – 100 qubits) ion traps in a network trough ion-photon entanglement interface.• novel trap designs (anharmonic, ring, …)• use of multiple vibrational modes and ultrafast pulses• fast optical switching

Anharmonic Linear Ion Trap
By using a combination of electrodes make a “flat-bottom” axial trap; transverse trapping still harmonic.• ion-ion spacing nearly uniform even for large ion crystals• transverse vibrational modes tightly bunched (“band”)• sympathetic cooling on the fringes of the trap

Anharmonic Ring Ion Trap
Removing the end cap electrodes of a linear trap and connecting the quadrupole rods onto themselves makes a (storage) ring ion trap
• ion-ion spacing perfectly uniform• transverse vibrational modes tightly bunched (“band”)• sympathetic cooling on one side of the ring
