Description

Opportunity:

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its miniature ion traps for fast, high-fidelity and scalable quantum computations.



Background:

Quantum information processing uses quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Quantum circuits use quantum bits, or qubits. Qubits are stored in stable electronic states of each ion, and quantum information can transfer through the collective quantized motion of the ions in a shared trap. Scalable architectures for quantum information processing with trapped ions will necessarily comprise thousands of computation sites, and each computational site would house several ions, which serve as qubits.

Currently pursued large-scale architectures rely on two-dimensional trap geometries amenable to lithographic microfabrication. This method raises challenges when scaling to a large number of computation sites. New microfabrication methods and 3D printing techniques enable complicated three-dimensional structures to be manufactured quickly and with high precision, which allows for new miniature ion traps to be created with features and scalability needed to advance quantum computing.



Description:

LLNL and its research partners have created miniature ion traps with submicron precision and complex geometries made using 3D printing for fast, high-fidelity and scalable quantum computations. A patent is pending on the technology, with claims covering embodiments for a vertical ion trap, horizontal ion traps and methods of forming the ion traps using advanced manufacturing techniques.
