Multi-qubit interactions for quantum information processing with trapped ions require a coupling between individual ion-qubits and a shared motional degree of freedom. Recent experiments have shown how such interactions can be realized using microwave near-fields rather than laser beams [1]. In one of the present projects in our group, we are developing advanced near-field trap designs with 9Be+ hyperfine qubits. In our second project, we are developing quantum logic spectroscopy techniques for single (anti-)protons with the ultimate goal of a g-factor based test of CPT invariance [2]. For both projects, we discuss laser systems for trap loading, cooling, repumping and controlling of 9Be+ qubit ions. For efficient trap loading through ablation, we are testing a pulsed laser system. Moreover, we are setting up a frequency quadrupled infrared laser to implement a multi-photon process for ionization of Beryllium atoms. The light for Doppler cooling, repumping and Raman transitions will be provided by three tunable infrared fiber lasers generating two beams via sum-frequency generation and second harmonic generation (similar to [3]).
