Micro ion traps for scalable QIPC

The experiments moved to the university of Mainz since spring 2010.

Developing specialized micro ion traps for scalable QIPC
Miniaturized multi-segmented ion traps are a promising architecture for quantum information processing in a scalable way. This project covers the development and characterization of scalable microchip sized ion traps and their ready-to-use application in quantum information science. Quantum algorithm experiments with microtraps requires high-quality engineered trap devices with long life cycle. more...
