Mechanisms for carbon adsorption on Au(110)-(2*1): A work function analysis

H. Z. Jooya, K. S. McKay, E. Kim +4

The variation of the work function upon carbon adsorption on the reconstructed Au(110) surface is measured experimentally and compared to density functional calculations. The adsor…

Electric-field noise from carbon-adatom diffusion on a Au(110) surface: first-principles calculations and experiments

E. Kim, A. Safavi-Naini, D. A. Hite +4

The decoherence of trapped-ion quantum gates due to heating of their motional modes is a fundamental science and engineering problem. This heating is attributed to electric-field n…

Electric field cancellation on quartz: a Rb adsorbate induced negative electron affinity surface

J. A. Sedlacek, E. Kim, S. T. Rittenhouse +3

We investigate the (0001) surface of single crystal quartz with a submonolayer of Rb adsorbates. Using Rydberg atom electromagnetically induced transparency, we investigate the ele…

Influence of monolayer contamination on electric-field-noise heating in ion traps

A. Safavi-Naini, E. Kim, P. F. Weck +2

Electric field noise is a hinderance to the assembly of large scale quantum computers based on entangled trapped ions. Apart from ubiquitous technical noise sources, experimental s…

A microscopic model of electronic field noise heating in ion traps

A. Safavi-Naini, P. Rabl, P. Weck +1

Motional heating of ions in micro-fabricated traps is a challenge hindering experimental realization of large-scale quantum processing devices. Recently a series of measurements of…
