• Abstract summary: State readout of trapped-ion qubits with trap-integrated detectors can address important challenges for scalable quantum computing. We report on NbTiN superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) employing grounded aluminum mirrors as electrical shielding. This performance should be sufficient to enable parallel high-fidelity state readout of a wide range of trapped ion species in typical cryogenic apparatus.

• Abstract: State readout of trapped-ion qubits with trap-integrated detectors can address important challenges for scalable quantum computing, but the strong rf electric fields used for trapping can impact detector performance. Here, we report on NbTiN superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) employing grounded aluminum mirrors as electrical shielding that are integrated into linear surface-electrode rf ion traps. The shielded SNSPDs can be successfully operated at applied rf trapping potentials of up to $\mathrm{54\,V_{peak}}$ at $\mathrm{70\,MHz}$ and temperatures of up to $\mathrm{6\,K}$, with a maximum system detection efficiency of $\mathrm{68\,\%}$. This performance should be sufficient to enable parallel high-fidelity state readout of a wide range of trapped ion species in typical cryogenic apparatus.
