One of the remarkable recent discoveries in information science is that quantum mechanics can lead to efficient solutions for problems that are intractable on conventional classical computers.

Three coupled harmonic oscillators with an interaction given by the trilinear Hamiltonian $a^{\dagger} b c + a b^{\dagger} c^{\dagger}$ can describe a wide range of physical processes. In this talk I will show how we implement the trilinear Hamiltonian utilizing a chain of three $^{171}$Yb$^+$ ions in a linear Paul trap.

Searching for p+ip topological superconducting (SC) state has become a fascinating subject in condensed matter physics, as a dream application awaits in topological quantum computation. In this talk, I will report the theoretical discovery of a p+ip SC ground state (coexisting with ferromagnetic order) in honeycomb lattice Hubbard model with infinite repulsive interaction at low doping(< 0.2), by using both the state-of-art Grassmann tensor product state(GTPS) approach and a quantum field theory approach.
