Atomic ions controlled by laser light are among the leading candidates for large scale quantum computing. However operational systems today require vast scaling to reach levels capable of useful computational tasks. The integration of light delivery will be an essential component of this for the trapped-ion approach. I will describe results in which the use of photonics integrated into ion trap chips has allowed us to perform high fidelity two-qubit gates, which are an essential building block for quantum computers. These systems have now been extended to the operation of multiple trap zones, and the creation of novel optical fields for ion trap control while a new generation of chips allowing integration of all required wavelengths as well as optimised light delivery offers further enhancements in performance and scaling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
