What is Realistic Fast Quantum Gates with Hot Trapped Ions about?

The "pushing gate" proposed by Cirac and Zoller in 2000 for quantum logic in ion traps is discussed, in which a force is used to give a controlled push to a pair of trapped ions and thus realize a phase gate. The original proposal had a weakness in that it involved a hidden extreme sensitivity to the size of the force. Also, the physical origin of this force was not fully addressed. Here, we discuss the sensitivity and present a way to avoid it by choosing the spatial form of the pushing force in an optimal way. We also analyse the effect of imperfections in a pair of pi pulses which are used to implement a "spin-echo" to cancel correlated errors. We present a physical model for the force, namely the dipole force, and discuss the impact of unwanted photon scattering, and of finite temperature of the ions. The main effect of the temperature is to blur the phase of the gate owing to the ions exploring a range of values of the force. When the distance scale of the force profile is smaller than the ion separation, this effect is more important than the high-order terms in the Coulomb repulsion which were originally discussed. Overall, we find that whereas the "pushing gate" is not as r
