The Effect of Trap Design on the Scalability of Trapped-Ion Quantum Technologies

Le Minh Anh Nguyen, Brant Bowers, Sara Mouradian

To increase the power of a trapped ion quantum information processor, the qubit number, gate speed, and gate fidelity must all increase. All three of these parameters are influence…

Two-Pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator

B. Bowers, M. LaBerge, A. Koehler +10

We present methods and preliminary observations of two pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator. This acceleration mechanism uses a second co-propagatin…

Compact Spectral Characterization of 5-500 MeV X-rays from the Texas Petawatt Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator

A. Hannasch, L. Lisi, J. Brooks +11

We reconstruct spectra of secondary x-rays generated from a 500 MeV - 2 GeV laser plasma electron accelerator. A compact (7.5 7.5 15 cm), modular x-ray calorimete…

Beam Distortion Effects upon focusing an ultrashort Petawatt Laser Pulse to greater than 10 W/cm

Ganesh Tiwari, Erhard Gaul, Mikael Martinez +15

When an ultrashort laser pulse is tightly focused to a size approaching its central wavelength, the properties of the focused spot diverge from the diffraction limited case. Here w…

Observations of Coherent Optical Transition Radiation Interference Fringes Generated by Laser Plasma Accelerator Electron Beamlets

Alex Lumpkin, Maxwell LaBerge, Donald Rule +10

We report initial observations of coherent optical transition radiation interferometry (COTRI) patterns generated by microbunched electrons from laser-driven plasma accelerators (L…
