In quantum information experiments, quantum systems are usually isolated from the environment and their dynamics is controlled coherently. On the other hand, engineering the dynamics of many particles by a controlled coupling to an environment opens new possibilities in quantum information and simulation experiments[1]. We report on several experiments combining the power of multi-qubit quantum gates and dissipative coupling to the environment in a 40Ca+ ion trap quantum computer. For example, quantum error correction requires to dissipatively reset ancilla qubits. For this optical pumping is used thus enabling multiple steps of a quantum-error-correction algorithm. We further demonstrate a toolbox for simulating an open quantum system with up to five qubits exemplified by the dissipative preparation of entangled states. This work offers novel prospects for quantum simulation and computation by adding controlled dissipation to coherent operations.
