Within the ongoing development of the ion-based quantum computer Q1 carried out by QVLS (Quantum Valley Lower Saxony), a supporting experiment is being built and used for research and development of transport and cooling techniques. The trap is experimentally realised by a surface electrode Paul trap, which allows movement of trapped ions in a two-dimensional space above the trap. This possibility is used to realise the computer in a register-like fashion (termed QCCD architecture [1,2]) by having different zones on the trap chip that account for different tasks including storage, readout, and quantum logic gate application. A key aspect therefore is the development of ion transport techniques between said zones while maintaining a low heating rate and without interruption of the ion’s electronic quantum state. Furthermore, we study the possibility to sympathetically cool two logic ions with a single cooling ion of significantly heavier mass. We report on previous progress and goals.
