Spatially uniform single-qubit gate operations with near-field microwaves and composite pulse compensation
We present a microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap with a pair of
integrated waveguides that generate a standing microwave field resonant with
the 171Yb+ hyperfine qubit. The waveguides are engineered to position the wave
antinode near the center of the trap, resulting in maximum field amplitude and
uniformity along the trap axis. By calibrating the relative amplitudes and
phases of the waveguide currents, we can control the polarization of the
microwave field to reduce off-resonant coupling to undesired Zeeman sublevels.
We demonstrate single-qubit pi-rotations as fast as 1 us with less than 6 %
variation in Rabi frequency over an 800 um microwave interaction region. Fully
compensating pulse sequences further improve the uniformity of X-gates across
this interaction region.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure
