• Abstract: We present a compact, ionization-based detector for the state-selective and spatially resolved measurement of individual Rydberg atoms trapped in the vicinity of an atom chip. The system combines an electrostatic lens system for guiding charged particles with an array of channel electron multipliers (CEMs) capable of detecting both ions and electrons produced by ionization. Designed for quantum information applications, this device enables the detection of correlations between spatially separated Rydberg qubits. Additionally, the electrodes provide compensation for stray electric fields and control over particle trajectories. The imaging system achieves a total magnification of more than 12, with a single-axis magnification up to 200, while maintaining low aberrations. We characterize the performance of the system using a charged particle trajectory simulation software and discuss how a coincidence measurement of ions and electrons can be used to calibrate the detection efficiency. This detector enables high-fidelity measurement of multiple Rydberg atoms and is well-suited for applications in cavity-mediated quantum gates.

  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.

  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.
