Measuring the photonic frequency qubit generated by an <sup>171</sup>yb<sup>+</sup> ion in a surface trap

Abstract

We propose a novel qubit state measurement method for photonic frequency qubits using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with unequal path lengths. A practical implementation for photons generated by 171Yb+ ions in a surface trap is described. © 2014 Optical Society of America.
