Quantum Processor Development

该项目的目的是设计，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组成，在这些区域中离子可以被加载、冷却和进行量子信息处理。此外，该结构包含一个捕获区，其中光学微腔被用作不同量子处理器之间的量子互连。该项目涉及离子捕获结构的模拟和离子在离子捕获中的动态，以及不同捕获区域之间的穿梭。然后将使用微加工技术制造优化的捕获结构并进行表征。离子在不同的捕获区域和量子互连之间的转移将被测试。

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.
