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. Lastly, it presents an experimental demonstration of a mixed-species entangling gate.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Quantum computersSpintronicsAtomsPhysicsQuantum Information Technology, Spintronicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070Atoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interactionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24025Quantum Computinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14070Quantum computers.Spintronics.Atoms.Physics.Quantum Information Technology, Spintronics.Atoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interaction.Quantum Computing.530Ballance Christopher Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut821944MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254587903321High-Fidelity Quantum Logic in Ca+1830350UNINA
