Quantum Computation and Simulation with Qudits

Explore the potential of qudit-based quantum information processing in this conference talk presented by Martin Ringbauer from the University of Innsbruck at the QuDits for Quantum Technology workshop. Delve into the opportunities and challenges of moving beyond the traditional two-level paradigm, focusing on the use of trapped Ca40 ions for quantum computation. Examine recent experimental results that demonstrate the advantages of the qudit approach in enhancing conventional quantum computation and enabling efficient quantum simulation of high-dimensional problems, such as spin systems and lattice gauge theories. Gain insights into the promising role of cold trapped ions in quantum information processing and their potential to revolutionize the field.
