High-Fidelity Quantum Logic in Ca+

This thesis describes experimental work in the field of trapped-ion quantum computation. It outlines the theory of Raman interactions, examines the various sources of error in two-qubit gates, and describes in detail experimental explorations of the sources of infidelity in implementations of single- and two-qubit gates.

Aceasta teza descrie lucrarile experimentale in domeniul calculului cuantic cu ioni prins. Acesta prezinta teoria interactiunilor Raman, examineaza diferitele surse de eroare in portile cu doi qubit si descrie in detaliu explorari experimentale ale surselor de infidelitate in implementarile portilor cu un singur si cu doi qubit.
