Increased surface flashover voltage in microfabricated devices
R. C. Sterling, M. D. Hughes, C. J. Mellor +1
With the demand for improved performance in microfabricated devices, the necessity to apply greater electric fields and voltages becomes evident. When operating in vacuum, the volt…
Optimisation of two-dimensional ion trap arrays for quantum simulation
James D. Siverns, Seb Weidt, Kim Lake +3
The optimisation of two-dimensional (2D) lattice ion trap geometries for trapped ion quantum simulation is investigated. The geometry is optimised for the highest ratio of ion-ion…
Microfabricated Ion Traps
Marcus D. Hughes, Bjoern Lekitsch, Jiddu A. Broersma +1
Ion traps offer the opportunity to study fundamental quantum systems with high level of accuracy highly decoupled from the environment. Individual atomic ions can be controlled and…
Versatile ytterbium ion trap experiment for operation of scalable ion trap chips with motional heating and transition frequency measurements
James J. McLoughlin, Altaf H. Nizamani, James D. Siverns +6
We present the design and operation of an ytterbium ion trap experiment with a setup offering versatile optical access and 90 electrical inter-connects that can host advanced surfa…
