Towards a two-dimensional lattice of spins — •Christian Schneider1, Martin Enderlein1, Thomas Huber1, Hector Schmitz1,2, Axel Friedenauer1, and Tobias Schaetz11Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik — 2LMU München

One of the state-of-the-art tools to investigate quantum algorithms/simulations is based on ions confined in a linear Paul trap. Recent experiments show that the bulky three-dimensional geometry of standard linear Paul traps can be translated into two-dimensional electrode setups on surfaces (but still being linear Paul traps) [1, 2]. Cryogenic conditions are shown to provide reduced heating rates allowing to further approach the surfaces [3]. A regular two-dimensional array of ions—small enough for sufficient interactions between the ions—could open a great new field of interesting experiments, e. g., the simulation of Quantum Spin Hamiltonians [4, 5], like the Bose-Hubbard model [6], or spin frustrations. Based on the above developments we aim for realizing a surface trap allowing for the confinement of a two-dimensional ion crystal (being equivalent to a lattice of spins). Our first milestone is a proof-of-concept experiment with a 2×2 array of ions at mutual distances of 20µ m.
