Quantum Journal Club: Speed Optimized Two-Qubit Gates with Laser Coherent Contro
Abstract: We propose a new concept for a two-qubit gate operating on a pair of trapped ions based on laser coherent control techniques. The gate is insensitive to the temperature of the ions, works a...

Quantum Journal Club: Generation of spin-motion entanglement in a trapped ion us
Abstract: Applying a magnetic eld gradient to a trapped ion allows long-wavelength microwave radiation to produce a mechanical force on the ion's motion when internal transitions are driven. We demon...

QUIC talk: Cryptographic Reversibility
Abstract: In this talk we consider the problem of cryptographic reversibility, which asks when a tripartite distribution PXYZ can be asymptotically distilled into secret key and diluted back into PXY...
