We describe the necessary control infrastructure for experiments with integrated microwave near-field surface-electrode ion traps with applications in quantum simulation and quantum logic. A trap geometry recently developed in our group [1] requires a static bias magnetic field, microwave control fields for single-qubit rotations and sideband transitions, dc voltages for trapping fields and reconfigurable rf trapping potentials.
Transistor amplifiers with preceding control stages on three rf trap electrodes are used to generate a reconfigurable rf trapping potential. In order to realize a field-independent 9Be+ qubit at 22.3 mT, we have designed a set of water-cooled magnetic field coils. The microwave currents are generated in FPGA controlled DDS-modules and pass a frequency multiplier and pulse shaping stage. We use fast DAC-modules [2] from NIST to generate arbitrary waveforms for the pulse shaper and also for the dc voltages in the trap.
