Deterministic Single-Ion Implantation of Rare-Earth Ions for Nanometer-Resolution Color-Center Generation

Karin Groot-Berning, Thomas Kornher, Georg Jacob +6 more

Single dopant atoms or dopant-related defect centers in a solid state matrix are of particular importance among the physical systems proposed for quantum computing and communication, due to their potential to realize a scalable architecture compatible with electronic and photonic integrated circuits. Here, using a deterministic source of single laser-cooled Pr^{+} ions, we present the fabrication of arrays of praseodymium color centers in yttrium-aluminum-garnet substrates. The beam of single Pr^{+} ions is extracted from a Paul trap and focused down to 30(9) nm. Using a confocal microscope, we determine a conversion yield into active color centers of up to 50% and realize a placement precision of 34 nm.

A scalable PIC-based addressing unit for segmented quadrupole ion traps

Erik Beckert, Marcus Babin, Michael Reibe +6 more

Scalability is crucial for quantum computing to achieve high computing performance and ultimately true quantum advantage. Such a quantum computing platform requires elements to be replicated reliably within an extendable system framework. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) allow the conversion of inputs in an accurate process due to the employment of lithographic production techniques. We present an addressing unit for ion-based quantum computing employing PICs that are arranged for multiple addressing zones inside a segmented ion-trap chip. The addressing unit is designed for individual and parallel addressing of single ions inside a chain of ten ions held by one trap segment. At PIC level, each addressing beam is realized with one waveguide channel and its mode field adapted to be optimal for imaging onto a trap segment. An additional imaging system in the same formfactor as the PIC, couples optically in free space from the waveguide channel to the individual ions. It is based on wafer-level microlenses combined in one stack and forms one unit with the PIC. Such a hardware-based capability eventually allows precise gate operations that are necessary for a universal quantum computer.
