“…It could also be extended to the axial direction and combined with other parallel gate schemes that use motional modes only along one principal axis [3,4,6] to further increase the maximum number of simultaneous two-qubit gates. Finally, other entangling gate mechanisms, such as light shift gates, [9,22] those driven by a synthetic 𝜎 z spin-dependent force, [20] the multi-qubit gate based on the Cirac-Zoller scheme with ancillary motional states, [21] and gates based on mode squeezing via second-sideband driving [17,19] can be pairwise-parallelized in the same way.…”
