Pulse Optimization for High-Precision Motional-Mode Characterization in Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers
Quantum Science and Technology 9, 035007 (2024)
Pulse optimization is not only for quantum gates; it can also be used for calibration (characterization of system parameters). Here we suggest using pulse optimization to characterize the motional-mode parameters (Lamb-Dicke parameters) of trapped ions with higher accuracy, which is necessary for achieving high-fidelity operations on a chain of many ions.
