Microwave control electrodes for scalable, parallel, single-qubit operations in a surface-electrode ion trap
Applied Physics B: Lasers and Optics Springer Berlin Heidelberg 114:1-2 (2014) 3-10
Abstract:
We propose a surface ion trap design incorporating microwave control electrodes for near-field single-qubit control. The electrodes are arranged so as to provide arbitrary frequency, amplitude and polarization control of the microwave field in one trap zone, while a similar set of electrodes is used to null the residual microwave field in a neighbouring zone. The geometry is chosen to reduce the residual field to the 0.5% level without nulling fields; with nulling, the crosstalk may be kept close to the 0.01% level for realistic microwave amplitude and phase drift. Using standard photolithography and electroplating techniques, we have fabricated a proof-of-principle electrode array with two trapping zones. We discuss requirements for the microwave drive system and prospects for scalability to a large two-dimensional trap array.Faithful to Science The Role of Science in Religion

What I want to do in this chapter is show why the above statements, though partly understandable, are largely mistaken, and I will comment on how the combination of science and faith, in the case of one trying to follow Jesus of Nazareth, ...Pulsed force sequences for fast phase-insensitive quantum gates in trapped ions
