Realization of high selectivity ion qubit addressing scheme

Selectively addressing individual qubits in an array of ions is a vital task for scalable quantum computation with trapped ions.  Traditionally, this is accomplished using complex optics for laser beam steering, but such schemes are not easily scalable.  We have realized a scalable alternative which employs the advantages of microfabrication and cryogenic operation, and applies...

Realization of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture from a two-component Fermi gas

Fermions are the fundamental building blocks of matter, whereas bosons emerge as composite particles. The simplest physical system to study the emergence of bosonic behavior is a two-component fermion mixture, where the composite boson is a dimer of the two different fermions.

Microfabricated Ion Trap Systems for Quantum Simulations

We have developed and tested a generation of ion traps, for the purpose of quantum information science and quantum simulations. These traps are based on semiconductor lithography, fabricated at MIT, and operated at liquid helium temperature. The traps enable systematic study of the behavior of the quantum state of trapped ions, near the surface of...
