Large-scale quantum computing with phase Fresnel lenses

چکیده
Efficient ion-photon coupling is an important component for large-scale ion-trap quantum computing. We propose that phase Fresnel lenses (PFLs) are a favorable optical coupling technology to match with multi-zone ion traps. Both are scalable technologies based on conventional micro-fabrication techniques. Large numerical aperture (NA) PFLs can reduce the readout time for ion qubits and provide good coherent coupling to a single optical mode. From optical characterization of a suitable PFL we predict a coherent coupling efficiency of >0.64%, twice the best experimental efficiency achieved to date. In addition, high NA entanglement fidelity limits can be removed by optical filtering.

Scalable, efficient ion-photon coupling with phase fresnel lenses for large-scale quantum computing
Efficient ion-photon coupling is an important component for large-scale ion-trap quantum computing. We propose that arrays of phase Fresnel lenses (PFLs) are a favorable optical coupling technology to match with multi-zone ion traps. Both are scalable technologies based on conventional micro-fabrication techniques. The large numerical apertures (NAs) possible with PFLs can reduce the readout ti...
متن کاملDesigning the optimal Fresnel lenses by using Zemax software
In this paper, the optimal Fresnel lenses are designed by Zemax software.The fundamental problem of the Fresnel lenses is the beam divergence, which wasresolved by decreeing the output stain diameter on the image plane. For this purpose,two types of radial and cylindrical Fresnel lenses are simulated with different groovesusing Global and Hammer optimization methods. The minimum output stain di...
متن کاملFresnel lenses for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
Phase Fresnel lenses have the same imaging properties as zone plates, but with the possibility of concentrating all of the incident power into the primary focus, increasing the maximum theoretical efficiency from 11% to close to 100%. For X-rays, and in particular for gamma-rays, large, diffraction-limited phase Fresnel lenses can be made relatively easily. The focal length is very long for exa...
متن کاملDevelopment of ground-testable phase fresnel lenses in silicon
Diffractive optics, such as Phase Fresnel Lenses (PFL’s), offer the potential to achieve excellent imaging performance in the x-ray and gamma-ray photon regimes. In principle, the angular resolution obtained with these devices can be diffraction limited. Furthermore, improvements in signal sensitivity can be achieved as virtually the entire flux incident on a lens can be concentrated onto a sma...
متن کاملDesign and imaging performance of achromatic diffractive-refractive x-ray and gamma-ray Fresnel lenses.
Achromatic combinations of a diffractive phase Fresnel lens and a refractive correcting element have been proposed for x-ray and gamma-ray astronomy and for microlithography, but considerations of absorption often dictate that the refractive component be given a stepped profile, resulting in a double Fresnel lens. The imaging performance of corrected Fresnel lenses, with and without stepping, i...
