Anharmonic Traps for Scalable Quantum Information Processing with Trapped Ions

POSTER

Abstract

We report progress towards scalable quantum information processing using a linear crystal of 171Yb+ ions. Anharmonic traps can stably hold large numbers of nearly equally spaced ions. We implement novel, multi-segment micro- and surface-traps. These architectures may allow us to perform large-scale quantum computations and quantum simulations of systems that are classically intractable.
