2,2′-(Butane-1,4-di­yl)diisoquinolinium tetra­chloridozincate(II)

The crystal of the title compound, (C22H22N2)[ZnCl4], consists of 2,2′-(butane-1,4-di­yl)diisoquinolinium organic cations and [ZnCl4]2− complex anions. The cation is located across a twofold axis and the ZnII atom of the anion is located on the other twofold axis. The centroid–centroid distance between parallel pyridine rings of neighboring mol­ecules is 3.699 (3) Å, but the face-to-face separation of 3.601 (3) Å suggests there is no significant π–π stacking in the crystal structure

Interaction of a symmetrical α,α',δ,δ'-Tetramethyl-cucurbit[6]uril with Ln³⁺ : potential applications for isolation of lanthanides

The interaction of a symmetrical α,α′,δ,δ′-tetramethyl-cucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) with a series of lanthanide cations (Ln³⁺) was investigated in neutral water and in acidic solution. Analysis by single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that different isomorphous families formed under different synthetic conditions. Such differences in the interaction between TMeQ[6] and Ln³⁺ could potentially be used for isolating heavier Ln³⁺ from their lighter counterparts in neutral solution, and lighter lanthanide cations from their heavier counterparts in acidic solution

Experimental Realization of Nonadiabatic Holonomic Single-Qubit Quantum Gates with Two Dark Paths in a Trapped Ion

For circuit-based quantum computation, experimental implementation of universal set of quantum logic gates with high-fidelity and strong robustness is essential and central. Quantum gates induced by geometric phases, which depend only on global properties of the evolution paths, have built-in noise-resilience features. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate nonadiabatic holonomic single-qubit quantum gates on two dark paths in a trapped $^{171}\mathrm{Yb}^{+}$ ion based on four-level systems with resonant drives. We confirm the implementation with measured gate fidelity through both quantum process tomography and randomized benchmarking methods. Meanwhile, we find that nontrivial holonomic two-qubit quantum gates can also be realized within current experimental technologies. Compared with previous implementations on three-level systems, our experiment share both the advantage of fast nonadiabatic evolution and the merit of robustness against systematic errors, and thus retains the main advantage of geometric phases. Therefore, our experiment confirms a promising method for fast and robust holonomic quantum computation.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
