Abstract

We demonstrate a novel experimental tool set that enables irreversible multiqubit operations on a quantum platform. To exemplify our approach, we realize two elementary nonunitary operations: the or and nor gates. The electronic states of two trapped Ca40+ ions encode the logical information, and a cotrapped Sr88+ ion provides the irreversibility of the gate by a dissipation channel through sideband cooling. We measure 87% and 81% success rates for the or and nor gates, respectively. The presented methods are a stepping stone toward other nonunitary operations such as in quantum error correction and quantum machine learning.
