Abstract

Trapped ions are among the most advanced technology platforms for quantum information processing, in particular quantum simulation. However, ions are most readily trapped as a linear chain in radio-frequency traps, limiting their use to simulate higher dimensional quantum systems. In this talk, I'll describe an analog and an analog-digital hybrid [1] quantum simulation protocols to simulate programmable 2D and 3D spin models in a linear ion chain, by manipulating phonon-mediated long-ranged interactions between ion spins. The ability to dynamically engineer lattice geometries enables the investigation of a rich variety of physical phenomena such as spin frustration, topological states, and quantum quenches.
