Electrons in a cryogenic planar Penning trap and experimental challenges for quantum processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on trapping of clouds of electrons in a cryogenic planar Penning trap at T≤ 100 mK. We describe the experimental conditions to load, cool and detect electrons. Perspectives for the trapping of a single electron and for quantum information processing are given.

Theoretical basis for quantum simulation with a planar ionic crystal in a Penning trap using a triangular rotating wall
One of the challenges with quantum simulation in ion traps is that the effective spin-spin exchange couplings are not uniform across the lattice. This can be particularly important in Penning-trap realizations where the presence of an ellipsoidal boundary at the edge of the trap leads to dislocations in the crystal. By adding an additional anharmonic potential to better control interion spacing...
متن کاملControl of the conformations of ion Coulomb crystals in a Penning trap
Laser-cooled atomic ions form ordered structures in radiofrequency ion traps and in Penning traps. Here we demonstrate in a Penning trap the creation and manipulation of a wide variety of ion Coulomb crystals formed from small numbers of ions. The configuration can be changed from a linear string, through intermediate geometries, to a planar structure. The transition from a linear string to a z...
متن کاملTheory of the coplanar-waveguide Penning trap
A novel planar Penning trap is presented, which results from the projection of the well-known three-dimensional cylindrical trap onto the surface of a chip. The introduced trap is also a coplanar-waveguide cavity, similar to those used in circuit quantum electrodynamics experiments with superconducting two-level systems. It opens up the possibility of integrating a single trapped electron, or g...
متن کاملSingle Ca⺠ions in a penning trap for applications in quantum information processing
I report on work aimed towards realising Quantum Information Processing with single 40Ca+ ions in a Penning trap, where trapping is achieved using static electric and magnetic fields. Unlike RF traps, in the Penning trap there is no heating due to micromotion. Therefore the qubit should in principle have a longer decoherence time. However in the Penning trap, the internal levels of the ion shif...
متن کاملBounding CPT- and Lorentz-Violating Parameters in a Standard-Model Extension
A general theoretical framework that incorporates possible CPT and Lorentz violation in an extension of the standard model and in quantum electrodynamics has been developed over the last decade. The framework originates in the idea that CPT and Lorentz symmetry could be broken spontaneously in a more fundamental theory such as string theory. These symmetry violations are described in the standa...
