Abstract given by the source: Quantum information processing is a rapidly developing field of research with a large variety of applications ranging from powerful quantum algorithms, to simulations of complex quantum systems. Several technologies are used for quantum calculations, such as ultracold atoms, superconducting devices, and trapped ions.Trapped ions have set many benchmarks in quantum information processing, which makes them one of the most advanced quantum technology. Still, like all the other systems, trapped ions are not easily scalable to large number of information carriers.Trapped Rydberg ions are a novel promising approach for quantum information processing. This system has several advantages that could facilitate scalability. In particular, quantum gate operations could be operated in large, two-dimensional ion crystals, and with Megahertz speed, significantly faster than current trapped ion technology. This makes it an appealing extension for a trapped ion quantum computer and quantum simulator.In this project, we will continue our research on trapped strontium Rydberg ions. We will use the existing experimental setup at Stockholm University to apply trapped Rydberg ions to quantum information tasks. In particular, we plan to use trapped strontium Rydberg ions to generate two-dimensional quantum correlated states, and to simulate other quantum systems in such a way that the interesting parameters are easily accessible.
