Compact Ion Traps Set Ups for Quantum Networking and Quantum Information Processing

Prof. Roee Ozeri designed a 3D segmented ion trap, which can be micro fabricated based on fused silica wafer stack. The team tested different geometries and by simulating the electric trapping potential, they found a geometry that satisfy all the requirements and in particular allows trapping up to 50 ions in equidistant configuration. In addition, they constructed a compact setup to include lasers and vacuum system. This work is the first stage in realizing compact system for quantum information processing and quantum networking with trapped ion.
