Abstract: We report on the first demonstration of fluorescence detection using single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) monolithically integrated with a microfabricated surface ion trap. The SPADs are positioned below the trapping positions of the ions, and designed to detect 370 nm photons emitted from single $^{174}$Yb$^+$ and $^{171}$Yb$^+$ ions. We achieve an ion/no-ion detection fidelity for $^{174}$Yb$^+$ of 0.99 with an average detection window of 7.7(1) ms. We report a dark count rate as low as 1.2 kHz at room temperature operation. The fidelity is limited by laser scatter, dark counts, and heating that prevents holding the ion directly above the SPAD. We measure count rates from each of the contributing sources and fluorescence as a function of ion position. Based on the active detector area and using the ion as a calibrated light source we estimate a SPAD quantum efficiency of 24$\pm$1%.

Quantum Emitters in Aluminum Nitride Induced by Zirconium Ion Implantation [70.64959705888512]
This study investigates aluminum nitride (AlN) as a material with properties highly suitable for integrated on-chip photonics. We conduct a comprehensive study of the creation and photophysical properties of single-photon emitters in AlN utilizing Zirconium (Zr) and Krypton (Kr) heavy ion implantation. With the 532 nm excitation wavelength, we found that single-photon emitters induced by ion implantation are primarily associated with vacancy-type defects in the AlN lattice for both Zr and Kr ions.

Site-Selective Enhancement of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors via Local Helium Ion Irradiation [0.0]
We utilize local helium ion irradiation to tune single-photon detection efficiency, switching current, and critical temperature of individual devices on the same chip. For 12nm thick highly absorptive SNSPDs, we observe an increase of the system detection efficiency from $ 0.05,%$ to $(55.3 pm 1.1),%$ following irradiation. Investigations of the scaling of superconducting thin film properties with irradiation up to a fluence of $2600 revealed an increase of sheet resistance and a decrease of critical temperature towards high fluences.

Photoionization detection of a single Er$^{3+}$ ion with sub-100-ns time resolution [11.812955999982435]
In this work, we use radio-frequency (RF) reflectometry to electrically detect the photoionization induced by a single Er$3+$ ion in Si. With this technique, the optically excited state lifetime of a single Er$3+$ ion in a Si nano-transistor is measured for the first time to be 0.49 $pm$ 0.04 $mu$s.

The SpooQy-1 CubeSat mission demonstrated polarization-based quantum entanglement correlations using avalanche photodiodes for single-photon detection. We report the increasing dark count rates of two silicon Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes observed throughout its 2 year orbital lifetime. We implement a high-fidelity radiation model combined with 3D computer aided design models of the SpooQy-1 CubeSat to estimate the accumulated displacement damage dose in each photodiode.

Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

Algorithmic Ground-state Cooling of Weakly-Coupled Oscillators using Quantum Logic [52.77024349608834]
We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

State Readout of a Trapped Ion Qubit Using a Trap-Integrated Superconducting Photon Detector [0.0]
We report high-fidelity state readout of a trapped ion qubit using a trap-integrated photon detector. Average readout fidelity is 0.9991(1) with a mean readout duration of 46 $mu$s. Because there are no intervening optical elements between the ion and the detector, we can use the ion fluorescence as a self-calibrated photon source to determine the detector quantum efficiency and its dependence on photon incidence angle and polarization.
