Ion Traps and Neutral Atoms — Quantum Precision at Atomic Scale Trapped-ion quantum computers are among the cleanest and most stable systems ever built. Using electromagnetic fields to confine single ions, they achieve remarkable coherence and gate fidelity. Neutral-atom systems go further by trapping atoms in optical lattices—grids of light—enabling hundreds of controllable qubits. Yet both share the same Achilles’ heel: speed and scalability. Building a vacuum system capable of manipulating thousands of ions or atoms in sync remains one of the grand engineering challenges of the century.

"The idea of a cold-atom vacuum-measurement tool developed as a surprising side effect of the study of cold atoms. Scientists first started cooling atoms down in an effort to make better atomic clocks back in the 1970s. Since then, cooling atoms and trapping them has become a cottage industry, giving rise to optical atomic clocks, atomic navigation systems, and neutral-atom quantum computers." #SemiconductorManufacturing #ParticleWaveDetection #QuantumComputing #XrayPhotoelectronSpectrocopy #UltrathinVacuum #UltrahighVacuum #IEEE

Our latest work on Germanium spin qubits has just been published in npj Quantum Information ! In this work, we explore the prospects for Ge spin qubits confined at the interface between an unstrained bulk Ge substrate and a GeSi barrier. We show that such qubits shall outperform conventional, strained Ge/GeSi heterostructures. In particular, the strong gyromagnetic anisotropy of these heterostructures is much softened in bulk Ge qubits ! See: https://lnkd.in/dFFAPNSW (Open Access).
