Magneto-optical Trapping of Cadmium
K. -A. Brickman, M. -S. Chang, M. Acton +5
We report the laser-cooling and confinement of Cd atoms in a magneto-optical trap, and characterize the loading process from the background Cd vapor. The trapping laser drives the…
Efficient Photoionization-Loading of Trapped Cadmium Ions with Ultrafast Pulses
L. Deslauriers, M. Acton, B. B. Blinov +16
Atomic cadmium ions are loaded into radiofrequency ion traps by photoionization of atoms in a cadmium vapor with ultrafast laser pulses. The photoionization is driven through an in…
Near-Perfect Simultaneous Measurement of a Qubit Register
M. Acton, K. -A. Brickman, P. C. Haljan +3
Simultaneous measurement of multiple qubits stored in hyperfine levels of trapped 111Cd+ ions is realized with an intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) imager. A general theory o…
Implementation of Grover's Quantum Search Algorithm in a Scalable System
K. -A. Brickman, P. C. Haljan, P. J. Lee +3
We report the implementation of Grover's quantum search algorithm in the scalable system of trapped atomic ion quantum bits. Any one of four possible states of a two-qubit memory i…
Entanglement of Trapped-Ion Clock States
P. C. Haljan, P. J. Lee, K. -A. Brickman +3
A Mølmer-Sørensen entangling gate is realized for pairs of trapped Cd ions using magnetic-field insensitive "clock" states and an implementation offering reduced sensit…
T-junction ion trap array for two-dimensional ion shuttling, storage and manipulation
W. K. Hensinger, S. Olmschenk, D. Stick +6
We demonstrate a two-dimensional 11-zone ion trap array, where individual laser-cooled atomic ions are stored, separated, shuttled, and swapped. The trap geometry consists of two l…
