Dynamics and control of fast ion crystal splitting in segmented Paul traps

H. Kaufmann, T. Ruster, C. T. Schmiegelow +2

We theoretically investigate the process of splitting two-ion crystals in segmented Paul traps, i.e. the structural transition from two ions confined in a common well to ions confi…

Scalable creation of long-lived multipartite entanglement

H. Kaufmann, T. Ruster, C. T. Schmiegelow +6

We demonstrate the deterministic generation of multipartite entanglement based on scalable methods. Four qubits are encoded in Ca, stored in a micro-structured segmented…

Experimental creation and analysis of displaced number states

F. Ziesel, T. Ruster, A. Walther +4

We create displaced number states, which are nonclassical generalizations of coherent states, of a vibrational mode of a single trapped ion.

Measurement of dipole matrix elements with a single trapped ion

M. Hettrich, T. Ruster, H. Kaufmann +4

We demonstrate a new method for the direct measurement of atomic dipole transition matrix elements based on techniques developed for quantum information purposes. The scheme consis…

Entanglement-based dc magnetometry with separated ions

T. Ruster, H. Kaufmann, M. A. Luda +4

We demonstrate sensing of inhomogeneous dc magnetic fields by employing entangled trapped ions, which are shuttled in a segmented Paul trap. As \textit{sensor states}, we use Bell…

Cryogenic setup for trapped ion quantum computing

M. F. Brandl, M. W. van Mourik, L. Postler +15

We report on the design of a cryogenic setup for trapped ion quantum computing containing a segmented surface electrode trap. The heat shield of our cryostat is designed to attenua…
