• Abstract summary: We present a miniature monolithic ion trap made of gold-coated fused silica with high numerical aperture access. A laser writing method referred to as selective laser etching is employed to extract a trap structure from a block of fused silica. The fully monolithic structure eliminates the need for any post-fabrication alignment.

• Abstract: The miniaturization of ion trap and the precise placement of its electrodes are necessary for the integration of a microcavity to facilitate efficient ion-cavity coupling. We present a miniature monolithic ion trap made of gold-coated fused silica with high numerical aperture access. A laser writing method referred to as selective laser etching is employed to extract a trap structure from a block of fused silica. The fully monolithic structure eliminates the need for any post-fabrication alignment. Trenches are integrated into this structure such that the various electrodes on the monolithic device remain electrically isolated following their metalization via evaporative coating. We give details of the trap design and production, along with the demonstration of successful trapping of ions and characerization of the trap.

  An efficient interface between an optical cavity and a linear trap that can keep multiple ions has remained elusive. We show that simple electrically conductive shielding of the fibres could provide substantial advantage. We identify essential components and a design strategy that should be incorporated in a linear ion trap for successful integration of a miniature optical cavity.

  Most demanding application for a large-scale quantum computer will require ordered arrays. By configuring an electronic-grade diamond substrate with a biased surface graphene electrode connected to charge-sensitive electronics, it is possible to demonstrate single ion implantation for ions stopping between 30 and 130nm deep from a typical ion source. This allows the construction of ordered arrays of single atoms with associated colour centres that paves the way for the fabrication of deterministic colour center networks in a monolithic device.
