Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how trapped ions can be used to explore unusual phases in a modified Dicke model, focusing on dissipative spins linked to phonon modes.
  • The researchers discovered a complex dynamic phase diagram showcasing various behaviors like superradiance, phase coexistence, and phonon-lasing.
  • A key benefit of using trapped ions is their ability to be studied in real-time through fluorescence; the findings suggest the use of a minimal model and propose an experimental setup using Ca+ ions in a linear Paul trap.

Although quantum computers promise significant advantages, the complexity of quantum algorithms remains a major technological obstacle. We have developed and demonstrated an architecture-independent technique that simplifies adding control qubits to arbitrary quantum operations-a requirement in many quantum algorithms, simulations and metrology. The technique, which is independent of how the operation is done, does not require knowledge of what the operation is, and largely separates the problems of how to implement a quantum operation in the laboratory and how to add a control.
