Microfabricated ion trap chip with an integrated microwave antenna

Christopher Nordquist

An ion trap chip, which may be used for quantum information processing and the like, includes an integrated microwave antenna. The antenna is formed as a radiator connected by one of its ends to the center trace of a microwave transmission line and connected by its other end to a current return path through a ground trace of the microwave transmission line. The radiator includes several parallel, coplanar radiator traces connected in series. The radiator traces are connected such that they all carry electric current in the same direction, so that collectively, they simulate a single, unidirectionally flowing sheet of current. In embodiments, induced currents in underlying metallization planes are suppressed by parallel slots that extend in a direction perpendicular to the radiator traces.

Cooling a micromechanical beam by coupling it to a transmission line

Fei Xue, Y. D. Wang, Yu-xi Liu +1 more

We study a method to cool down the vibration mode of a micromechanical beam using a capacitively coupled superconducting transmission line. The Coulomb force between the transmission line and the beam is determined by the driving microwave on the transmission line and the displacement of the beam. When the frequency of the driving microwave is smaller than that of the transmission line resonator, the Coulomb force can oppose the velocity of the beam. Thus, the beam can be cooled. This mechanism, which may enable us to prepare the beam in its quantum ground state of vibration, is feasible under current experimental conditions.

Surface Ion Trap for Fast Microwave Gates

Ilya Gerasin, Ilya A. Semerikov, Wei Zhang

Microwave-driven quantum logic gates in trapped-ion systems offer a scalable and laser-free alternative to optical control, with the potential for robust integration into surface-electrode trap architectures. In this work, we present a systematic design guideline for planar ion traps optimized for fast two-qubit microwave gates using chip-integrated conductors. We investigate two electrode configurations, one employing a single microwave line for driving σ transitions, and another with two symmetric lines for π transitions. Through finite-element simulations, we analyze ion height, magnetic field gradients, heating effects, and gate durations under realistic cryogenic conditions. Our results show that both configurations can achieve two-qubit gate times in the order of 10 μs for Be+9 and Ca+40 ions.
