Description
Ion-trap-based-quantum information processing is one of the fastest growing research areas in recent years. Ion traps offer properties such high isolation from the environment, long life-times, and individual addressability of atomic qubits. However, ground up development of a research grade ion trap suitable for quantum commuting applications is a limiting factor because the process is highly resource consuming. AOSense proposes to design and develop a vacuum packaged ion trapping system suitable for quantum computing applications. The effort will leverage our expertise on the development of advanced laser systems for state-of-the-art atomic physics applications, and the development of fieldable quantum devices that share numerous similarities to trapped-ion-based experiments.
