Motional state engineering for continuous-variable quantum computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)The standard approach to quantum computation uses qubits, which are well-described as a two-level system. An alternative approach to quantum computation is continuous-variable quantum computation (CVQC), which uses physical ... -
Measuring trapped-ion motional decoherence through direct manipulation of motional coherent states
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Trapped ions can serve as promising scalable qubits through the excitation of their internal electronic states with lasers to form an effective quantum two-level system, while the ion's quantized motional state in a harmonic ... -
Experimental studies of internal dark currents in high gradient accelerator structures at 17 GHz
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)This thesis presents the measurement of the internal dark current in normal conducting single cell standing wave disk-loaded waveguide (DLWG) accelerator structures that operate at 17 GHz, and its comparison with theory. ...
