Quantum Processor Development

本项目的目标是设计、构建和测试一个紧凑的基于离子的量子信息处理器。它由一个线性离子阱和几个独立的捕获区域组成，在这些区域中可以加载离子，冷却离子并进行量子信息处理。此外，该结构包含一个捕获区域，其中采用光学微腔作为不同量子处理器之间的量子互连。该项目包括模拟离子阱中的离子捕获结构和离子动力学以及在不同捕获区域之间的穿梭。然后将使用微制造技术制造优化的捕获结构并进行表征。将测试各种捕获区域和量子互连之间的离子转移。

The aim of this project is to design, build and test a compact ion based quantum information processor. It consists of a linear ion trap with several separate trapping regions in which the ions can be loaded, cooled and quantum information processing can be performed. In addition, the structure contains a trapping region in which an optical micro-cavity is employed as a quantum interconnect between different quantum processors. The project involves the simulation of the ion trapping structure and the ion dynamic in the ion trap as well as the shuttling between different trapping regions. The optimised trapping structure will then be fabricated using micro-fabrication techniques and characterised. The transfer of ions between the various trapping regions and the quantum interconnect will be tested.
