TIPICQA - COST Action CA17113
Trapped Ions: Progress in Classical and Quantum Applications
The Project
In recent years, ion traps have developed from a topic of fundamental research into a versatile tool for a wide range of research topics and quantum technologies. With the ability to isolate the ions from their environment, atomic and molecular ions can now be studied in unparalleled detail.
Trapped ions are currently the most promising implementation of quantum information processing devices, where many essential building blocks have been developed in recent years. Moreover, magnetic field sensing with high sensitivity has been demonstrated and some of today’s best atomic clocks are based on atomic ions. These applications have the potential to revolutionise many aspects of our daily life. The aim of CA17113 is to enhance the current applications of trapped ions by supporting Europe-wide collaborations and knowledge exchange, and to allow these technologies to be taken a step further towards their commercialisation.

@BobNiffenegger Thank you! Let’s try to discuss at ECTI next year. More details on this soon.
Our paper (@ekwilibrator @ETH_physics) on trapped ion logic gates with integrated optics is finally out! @Nature back-to-back with @MitQuanta @BobNiffenegger https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2811-x
Would somebody like a thread? 1/14 https://t.co/4flJq6zgEZ
Really great paper on the integration of optics for a #TrappedIon device. This tackles (by experimentation) some serious concerns people have (should say 'had' now 😎) for scaling up a #QuantumComputer with trapped ions.
Excellent work by @BobNiffenegger @JeezJules @MitQuanta https://twitter.com/BobNiffenegger/status/1318945410057146369
Ionization!
Doppler cooling!
Qubit operations!
Repump!?!
By your wavelengths combined...
I am a trapped ion qubit unit cell!!
