Abstract summary: We demonstrate a microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap that is applicable as a nanofriction emulator. In the double-well configuration, parallel ion strings can be formed, which is a suitable system for the emulation of the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model. We report on the microfabrication process for such downsized trap electrodes and experimental results of single-well and double-well operation with calcium ions.

Abstract: We demonstrate a microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap that is applicable as a nanofriction emulator and studies of many-body dynamics of interacting systems. The trap enables both single-well and double-well trapping potentials in the radial direction, where the distance between the two potential wells can be adjusted by the applied RF voltage. In the double-well configuration, parallel ion strings can be formed, which is a suitable system for the emulation of the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model. We derive the condition under which the trap functions as a FK model emulator. The trap is designed so that the Coulomb interaction between two ion strings becomes significant. We report on the microfabrication process for such downsized trap electrodes and experimental results of single-well and double-well operation with calcium ions. With the trap demonstrated in this work we can create atomically accessible, self-assembled Coulomb systems with a wide tuning range of the corrugation parameter in the FK model. This makes it a promising system for quantum simulations, but also for the study of nanofriction in one and higher dimensional systems.

A Comprehensive Study on A Tapered Paul Trap: From Design to Potential Applications [0.282697733014759]
We present a tapered Paul trap whose radio frequency electrodes are inclined to the symmetric axis of the endcap electrodes, resulting in a funnel-shaped trapping potential. With this configuration, a charged particle confined in this trap has its radial degrees of freedom coupled to that of the axial direction. The same design was successfully used to experimentally realize a single-atom heat engine, and with this setup amplification of zeptonewton forces was implemented.

Bilayer Ion Trap Design for 2D Arrays [0.0]
Junctions are fundamental elements that support qubit locomotion in two-dimensional ion trap arrays. We propose and simulate a novel two-layer junction design incorporating two perpendicularly rotoreflected (rotated, then reflected) linear ion traps. Our novel junction layout has the potential to enhance the flexibility of microfabricated ion trap control to enable large-scale trapped-ion quantum computing.

Thermal masses and trapped-ion quantum spin models: a self-consistent approach to Yukawa-type interactions in the $λ\!φ^4$ model [44.99833362998488]
A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

Ablation loading of barium ions into a surface electrode trap [0.0]
Trapped-ion quantum information processing may benefit from qubits encoded in isotopes that are practically available in only small quantities. Laser ablation provides a method of controllably liberating neutral atoms or ions from low-volume targets. Here we investigate ablation-based ion loading into surface-electrode traps of different sizes to test a model describing ion loading probability.

Unconditional Wigner-negative mechanical entanglement with linear-and-quadratic optomechanical interactions [62.997667081978825]
We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

We show how to implant low-energy ions into silicon devices featuring an enlarged 60x60 $mu$m sensitive area. Despite the weak internal electric field, near-unity charge collection efficiency is obtained from the entire sensitive area. This can be explained by the critical role that the high-quality thermal gate oxide plays in the ion detection response.

Laser cooled ions trapped in a linear Paul trap are long-standing ideal candidates for realizing quantum simulation. A pair of ions interacting in such traps exchange vibrational quanta through the Coulomb interaction. Driven by thermal energy, the nonlinear interaction autonomously and unconditionally generates entanglement between the mechanical modes of the ions.
