Operating 2D Arrays of Addressable Ion Traps — •Muir Kumph¹, Michael Niedermayr¹, Michael Brownnutt¹, and Rainer Blatt^1,2 — ¹Institut für Experimentalphysik, Universitäts Innsbruck Technickerstr 25, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria — ²Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation, Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria

Controlling interactions between ions in a segmented linear ion trap is becoming standard technology. Extending these methods to two dimensions, however, is not trivial. The trapping and control of 40Ca+ ions in a 4 by 4 array of addressable planar-electrode ion traps is shown. Demonstration of the micromotion minimization and estimates of the heating rates will be given.
