Ablation Removal of Transport-Blocking Defects in Surface-Electrode Ion Traps
Toby Maddock, Parsa Rahimi, Matthew Aylett +3
We demonstrate in situ removal of a transport-blocking defect on a surface-electrode ion trap device using a Q-switched Nd:YAG 532 nm pulsed ablation laser. This approach eliminate…
In-vacuum surface flashover of SiN, AlN, and etched SiO2 thin films at micrometre scales
Vijay Kumar, Martin Siegele-Brown, Matthew Aylett +2
We investigate the surface flashover voltage threshold for SiO, SiN, and AlN thin films over micrometre scale lengths. Furthermore, we test the effects of different etching che…
Amplitude-noise-resilient entangling gates for trapped ions
Nguyen H. Le, Modesto Orozco-Ruiz, Sahra A. Kulmiya +4
Noise resilience of quantum information processing is a crucial precondition to reach the fault-tolerance threshold. While resilience to many types of noise can be achieved through…
An iterative transversal CNOT decoder
Kwok Ho Wan, Mark Webber, Austin G. Fowler +1
Modern platforms for potential qubit candidates, such as trapped ions or neutral atoms, allow long range connectivity between distant physical qubits through shuttling. This opens…
Fast-response low power atomic oven for integration into an ion microchip
Vijay Kumar, Martin Siegele-Brown, Parsa Rahimi +3
We present a novel microfabricated neutral atom source for quantum technologies that can be easily integrated onto microchip devices using well-established MEMS fabrication techniq…
