新的量子技术和设备对实验组件的性能提出了前所未有的要求，而它们在实验室之外的广泛部署需要提高鲁棒性和快速，负担得起的生产。我们将展示如何使用增材制造，以及数学优化技术和创新设计，从而生产出性能大大增强的紧凑、轻质部件。我们使用这样的组件来产生磁光阱，捕获$\sim 2 \times 10^8$铷原子，为此目的，采用紧凑且高度稳定的光谱和光功率分布设备，优化的钕磁体阵列用于磁场产生，以及轻质，增材制造的超高真空室。我们展示了增材制造的使用如何实现大幅减重和稳定性增强，同时还说明了我们的方法在量子技术领域及其他领域的实验和设备的可移植性。
Novel quantum technologies and devices place unprecedented demands on the performance of experimental components, while their widespread deployment beyond the laboratory necessitates increased robustness and fast, affordable production. We show how the use of additive manufacturing, together with mathematical optimization techniques and innovative designs, allows the production of compact, lightweight components with greatly enhanced performance. We use such components to produce a magneto-optical trap that captures $\sim 2 \times 10^8$ rubidium atoms, employing for this purpose a compact and highly stable device for spectroscopy and optical power distribution, optimized neodymium magnet arrays for magnetic field generation, and a lightweight, additively manufactured ultra-high vacuum chamber. We show how the use of additive manufacturing enables substantial weight reduction and stability enhancement, while also illustrating the transferability of our approach to experiments and devices across the quantum technology sector and beyond.
