Projeto e simulação de uma armadilha de íons para computação quântica.

Abstract

In this work we discuss the implementation of quantum processors using ion traps. We present the basic principles of quantum computing, emphasizing the difference between classical bits and qubits, and the operations performed on these by quantum logic gates. We discuss the main features of ion traps, emphasizing linear traps. We show how quantum gates can be implemented using the system of ions confined electromagnetically. We present the results of numerical simulation of a linear ion trap type Paul performed with COMSOL Multiphysics ® software, resulting in the confinement of an 40ð€œ¥ï¿½ð€œ½ï¿½+ ion, whose movement has presented the expected characteristics, being in agreement with what is theoretically predicted.
