Claim 16:
17. A quantum system comprising:
an ion trap configured to confine one or more quantum objects, the one or more quantum objects comprising a particular quantum object;
one or more lasers configured to generate one or more signals;
one or more laser drivers configured to control operation of respective lasers of the one or more lasers; and
a controller, the controller comprising at least one processing element and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processing element, cause the controller to at least:
determine a location and transport effect on a phase of the particular quantum object based (a) one or more locations where the particular quantum object was located for respective periods of time between a first time and a time to perform a manipulation event and respective frequencies associated with the one or locations, wherein the respective frequencies are determined via calibration, and (b) one or more transport operations performed on the particular quantum object between the first time and the time to perform the manipulation event to move the particular quantum object between respective locations of the one or more locations, wherein an immediately previous phase update for the particular quantum object occurred at the first time;
determine a quantum operation effect on the phase of the particular quantum object based on any quantum operations applied to the particular quantum object between the first time and the time to perform the manipulation event, wherein the quantum operation effect is determined based on computing respective Stark shifts caused by respective operations of the operations applied to the particular quantum object between the first time and the time to perform the manipulation event;
based on the location and transport effect, the quantum operation effect, and the time to perform the manipulation event, determine an interaction phase of the particular quantum object; and
cause phases of the one or more signals generated by the one or more lasers controlled by respective laser drivers of the one or more laser drivers to be adjusted such that the phases of the one or more signals correspond to the interaction phase of the particular quantum object at the time to perform the manipulation event.
