Abstract
Finite gate errors limit performance of modern quantum
computers. In this paper we study single qubit gate fidelities for
trapped ions. For this we numerically solved Schrodinger equation using
full Hamiltonian of the system for one, two, three and four ions. This
approach allows us to analyse gate errors beyond Lamb-Dicke approximation
and accounts not only for finite occupation of the phonon modes, but also
for the effects related to the ions-to-mode entanglement. As a result, we
show, how infidelity of the global single qubit gates depend on the
initial phonon mode occupations, the Lamb-Dicke parameter, Rabi frequency
and the number of ions.
