contents We present an experimental investigation of coherent crosstalk cancellation methods for light delivered to a linear ion chain cryogenic quantum register. The ions are individually addressed using focused laser beams oriented perpendicular to the crystal axis, which are created by imaging each output of a multi-core photonic-crystal fibre waveguide array onto a single ion. The measured nearest-neighbor native crosstalk intensity of this device for ions spaced by 5 $μ$m is found to be $\sim 10^{-2}$. We show that we can suppress this intensity crosstalk from waveguide channel coupling and optical diffraction effects by a factor $>10^3$ using cancellation light supplied to neighboring channels which destructively interferes with the crosstalk. We measure a rotation error per gate on the order of $ε_{x} \sim 10^{-5}$ on spectator qubits, demonstrating a suppression of crosstalk error by a factor of $> 10^2$. We compare the performance to composite pulse methods for crosstalk cancellation, and describe the appropriate calibration methods and procedures to mitigate phase drifts between these different optical paths, including accounting for problems arising due to pulsing of optical modulators.
