Abstract: Trapped ions provide a high-fidelity platform for quantum information processing, yet delivery of multiple, distinct wavelengths across large networks of interaction zones remains a bottleneck. Conventional free-space light delivery lacks scalability, while on-chip grating couplers suffer from narrow operational bandwidth that increases circuit footprint and optical interfacing complexity. Here we show a broadband photonic integrated circuit capable of addressing individual ions. The circuit combines a planar waveguide lens with a micromirror fabricated using two-photon polymerization at wafer scale. This implementation can address three individual ions from $λ$ = 405 - 880 nm with -27 dB average intensity crosstalk at $5\,μ\mathrm{m}$ pitch. We trap $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}^{+}$ and $^{138}\mathrm{Ba}^{+}$ ions above such devices, characterize optical crosstalk with barium ions, and demonstrate individual repumping of calcium ions. This monolithic photonic architecture brings broadband addressing in an on-chip modality to trapped-ion technology. More generally, integrating additive manufacturing into quantum devices is poised to unlock expanded design space for implementing novel quantum architectures.

Scalable architecture for trapped-ion quantum computing using RF traps and dynamic optical potentials [0.0]
In principle there is no fundamental limit to the number of ion-based qubits that can be confined in a single 1D register. Here we propose a holistic, scalable architecture for quantum computing with large ion-crystals. We show that these cells behave as nearly independent quantum registers, allowing for parallel entangling gates on all cells.
