- Abstract summary: We present the design and construction of a new experimental apparatus for the trapping of single Ba$+$ ions in the center of curvature of an optical-quality hemispherical mirror.
We describe the layout, fabrication and integration of the full setup, consisting of a high-optical access monolithic 3D-printed' Paul trap, the hemispherical mirror, a diffraction-limited in-vacuum lens (NA = 0.7) for collection of atomic fluorescence and a state-of-the art ultra-high vacuum vessel.

- Abstract: We present the design and construction of a new experimental apparatus for
the trapping of single Ba$^+$ ions in the center of curvature of an
optical-quality hemispherical mirror. We describe the layout, fabrication and
integration of the full setup, consisting of a high-optical access monolithic
`3D-printed' Paul trap, the hemispherical mirror, a diffraction-limited
in-vacuum lens (NA = 0.7) for collection of atomic fluorescence and a
state-of-the art ultra-high vacuum vessel. This new apparatus enables the study
of quantum electrodynamics effects such as strong inhibition and enhancement of
spontaneous emission, and achieves a collection efficiency of the emitted light
in a single optical mode of 31%.

Future quantum technology relies crucially on building quantum networks with high fidelity.
To achieve this goal, it is of utmost importance to connect single quantum systems in a way such that their emitted single-photons overlap with the highest possible degree of coherence.
Here we present an advanced manufacturing approach to accomplish this task: we combine 3D printed complex micro-optics such as hemispherical and Weierstrass solid immersion lenses.
