Doppler Cooling at 146G
Readout
- S1/2-P1/2-D3/2 system has 64 states and no closed transitions.- Optical Bloch equations used to simulate the system.- Straightforward cooling solution found: - Polarizations chosen so only a few states populated - Needs only one sideband on cooling laser (from EOM) - Single frequency 866nm repumping laser - P1/2 level population of up to ~0.15 simulated and achieved (50000 s-1 fluorescence)
- Intermediate-field clock qubits preferable to zero-field clock qubit as Zeeman shift lifts state degeneracies.- Until now intermediate-field clock states only demonstrated in 9Be+ and 25Mg+ (NIST).- 43Ca+ has the following advantages: - No UV lasers which can charge up the trap - Laser diodes available at all required wavelengths - D-states for electron shelving (high readout fidelity)- However there is no closed cooling transition (see below)
Measured ‘clock’ and ‘stretch’ qubit frequencies using a single 43Ca+ ion at 146G.

Advantages: - Microwave electronics more mature and scalable technology than lasers - No photon scattering as in laser-driven Raman gates - No requirement for sub-Doppler cooling
Disadvantages: - Microwave field not as well localised as laser field (crosstalk) - Careful nulling of microwave field at ion required to suppress AC Zeeman shifts - Fast gates (~10µs) will require small traps and high microwave current densities
Optimisation of the trapmicrowave design wascarried out using HFSS,finite element microwavesimulation software. Figures (above and right) show simulations of current density in the trap.

Trap is gold on sapphire for good thermal conductivity.
The trap region is in the centre of a half-wave microwave resonator to increase currents. Quarter-wave coupling sections provide a good 50� impedance match.
Simulations show that combining the microwave and rf electrodes (above) gives higher microwave gradients than alternative layouts for a given current.
Diplexer (above) is used to combine microwaves, rf voltages and dc offsets. The toroidal transformer steps-up the trap rf supply.

- Doppler cooling to ‹n› < 6- Pulsed sideband cooling of crystal’s two axial modes to ‹n› < 0.1- Heating rate ~5 quanta / s at fz = 2 MHz- Mixed crystal sympathetic Doppler cooling
Goals
- Two ion entanglement using a geometric phase gate- High-fidelity laser gates- Classical ‘AND’ gate by controlled relaxation (useful for practical error correction schemes)

- Qubit stored in ground state manifold (T2 very large)- Only one set of lasers needed as isotope shifts can be spanned with EOMs- RF (40Ca+) and microwaves (43Ca+) used for single-qubit rotations- Raman lasers used for spin-motion coupling and single-qubit rotations- Isotope shift of ~ 1 GHz allows individual addressing of the different isotopes and sympathetic cooling- Simultaneous readout of both isotopes implemented
- Pair of injection-locked frequency-doubled amplified diode lasers gives up to 40 mW at 397 nm in each Raman beam at the ions - Photon scattering error for single qubit rotation predicted to be < 10-4�DW�ȍRabi� ��ʌ�����N+] - System can be switched between addressing 40Ca+ and 43Ca+ in 100ms by switching injection path- Beat-note between Raman beams at ions sub-Hertz width

Gate driven by oscillating microwave, rather than optical, field gradient. Ion is trapped in the near-field <100µm from a microwave conductor to obtain high enough gradients.
Field independent point.
- we find agreement between simulated and measured gradients at the 5% level (see measured field on the left)
- Sidebands observed
- Heating rate is amongst best measured in a room temperature trap (red dot)
