• Abstract: Trapped-ion applications, such as in quantum information, precision measurements, optical clocks, and mass spectrometry, rely on specialized high-performance ion traps. The latter applications typically employ traditional machining to customize macroscopic 3D Paul traps, while quantum information processing experiments usually rely on photo-lithographic techniques to miniaturize the traps and meet scalability requirements. Using photolithography, however, it is challenging to fabricate the complex three-dimensional electrode structures required for optimal confinement. Here we address these limitations by adopting a high-resolution 3D printing technology based on two-photon polymerization supporting fabrication of large arrays of high-performance miniaturized 3D traps. We show that 3D-printed ion traps combine the advantages of traditionally machined 3D traps with the miniaturization provided by photolithography by confining single calcium ions in a small 3D-printed ion trap with radial trap frequencies ranging from 2 MHz to 24 MHz. The tight confinement eases ion cooling requirements and allows us to demonstrate high-fidelity coherent operations on an optical qubit after only Doppler cooling. With 3D printing technology, the design freedom is drastically expanded without sacrificing scalability and precision so that ion trap geometries can be optimized for higher performance and better functionality.

  L3DG is the first approach for generative 3D modeling of 3D Gaussians through a latent 3D Gaussian diffusion formulation.

  metasurfaces with subwavelength thickness were recently established as versatile platforms for the enhanced and tailorable generation of entangled photon pairs. Here, we demonstrate the unique benefits and practical potential of nonlinear metasurfaces for quantum imaging at infrared wavelengths. We reconstruct the images of 2D objects using just a 1D detector array in the idler path and a bucket detector in the signal path, by recording the dependencies of photon coincidences on the pump wavelength.

  Surface-electrode traps greatly simplify fabrication and hold the promise of allowing trapped-ion quantum computers to scale. However, their geometry constrains them to having much lower trapping efficiency, depth, and harmonicity compared to 3D geometries. We describe new 'trench' geometries that exist in the design space between these two paradigms.
