title: Quantum logic gates for hot ions without a speed limitation.
abstract: We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit quantum phase gates with trapped ions in thermal motion. In the scheme, the ions are simultaneously illuminated by a standing-wave laser tuned to the carrier, which virtually excites several vibrational modes. The scheme puts no limitations on the intensity of the laser field, allowing the production of a quantum logic gate for hot ions with an arbitrarily high speed as long as a laser field of sufficiently high intensity is available.
