particle. We present a detailed model of such a trap, and measurements demonstrating the nonlinear character of the trap through the observation of frequency upconversion in the (classical) motion of a single trapped sugar particle. We will discuss extending these measurements to atomic-scale systems, as well as possible applications to mass spectrometry, quantum chaos, and quantum information science.

Electrostatics of surface-electrode ion traps

Janus H. Wesenberg

Surface-electrode (SE) rf traps are a promising approach to manufacturing complex ion-trap networks suitable for large-scale quantum information processing. In this paper we present analytical methods for modeling SE traps in the gapless plane approximation, and apply these methods to two particular classes of SE traps. For the SE ring trap we derive analytical expressions for the trap geometry and strength, and also calculate the depth in the absence of control fields. For translationally symmetric multipole configurations (analogs of the linear Paul trap), we derive analytical expressions for electrode geometry and strength. Further, we provide arbitrarily good approximations of the trap depth in the absence of static fields and identify the requirements for obtaining maximal depth. Lastly, we show that the depth of SE multipoles can be greatly influenced by control fields.

Planar multipole ion trap

Markus Debatin, Michael Kroener, Jochen Mikosch +6 more

We report on the realization of a chip-based multipole ion trap manufactured using microelectromechanical systems technology, requiring minimal manual alignment of the electrodes. It provides ion confinement in an almost field-free volume between two planes of radiofrequency electrodes, deposited on glass substrates, which allows for optical access to the trap. An analytical model of the effective trapping potential is presented and compared with numerical calculations. Stable trapping of argon ions is achieved, and a lifetime of 16 s is measured. Electrostatic charging of the chip surfaces is studied and found to agree with a numerical estimate.
