Ion trap of the “Opticlock” project
In trapped-ion quantum computers, light particles (photons) serve to read out the information stored in the ion qubits. Conventional ion traps are equipped with electrodes for generating the trap potential and with separate components for photon detection. With this novel PTB concept, these two components are being combined into an integrated unit for the first time. (Technology Offer 532)
Advantages
ncreased integration density of ion traps
simplified setup of ion traps
spatially resolved in-situ photon detection of several ions is possible
