Trapped atomic ions offer an advanced platform to realise universal gate operations for performing arbitrary quantum computation. One remaining major challenge is scaling up the number of qubits, such that quantum error correction on logical qubits may be performed. We use a cryogenically cooled planar surface trap with multiple trapping zones as an approach to overcome this challenge. This setup supports the confinement of two ion species, 40Ca+ and 88Sr+. By using the 40Ca+-ion as an optical qubit, we are able to reach estimated coherence times up to 20 ms and create maximally entangled 40Ca+-40Ca+ states with fidelities of 98.5(5) %. We plan on using the second species for recooling the motional modes of the ion string. Here we present a Raman beam setup to extend the coherent control of our system to ground state qubits.
