Quantum computers promise to solve specific problems exponentially faster than today’s classical computers. Especially trapped ions have been proven to be promising candidates for the realization of quantum computers as emphasized by the demonstration of high high-fidelity gates on a small number of physical quantum bits [1].
The objective of the project is to realize a robust and compact ion-trap quantum computer with scalable components that can be operated by non-specialist users. In the first iteration we are going to implement a linear Paul trap. In the long term a microfabricated multi-segment ion-trap with the capability of storing 50 40Ca+-qubits will be installed. Full control of these qubits is provided by simultaneous single-ion addressing via fiber arrays. All required components are going to be integrated with the the ion-trap apparatus in compact 19" racks.
Here, we will present the current status of the experimental setup.
