الوصف: We propose encoding multiple qubits inside ions in existing trapped-ion quantum computers to access more qubits and to simplify circuits implementing standard algorithms. By using such `virtual' qubits, some inter-ion gates can be replaced by intra-ion gates, reducing the use of vibrational modes of the ion chain, leading to less noise. We discuss specific examples such as the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm and random circuit sampling, using a small number of virtual qubits. Additionally, virtual qubits enable using larger number of data qubits for an error correcting code, and we consider the repetition code as an example. We also lay out practical considerations to be made when choosing states to encode virtual qubits in $^{137}\mathrm{Ba}^+$ ions, and for preparing states and performing measurements.
