    Optical atomic clocks with $10^{-18}$ fractional frequency uncertainty enable a broad range of applications, including precise tests of fundamental physics and relativistic geodesy. In the past years, several studies have reached this level of uncertainty [1-3]. In the cited experiments, a single ion in an RF Paul trap was used for frequency stabilization. Owing to the low signal-to-noise...

    Trapped atomic ions offer long lifetimes and high-fidelity operations [1]. However, their relatively simple internal structure can pose a limitation for scalability. In contrast, diatomic molecules possess a rich internal structure of rotations, vibrations and hyperfine levels, allowing each molecule to store more information than a single atomic ion [2]. Furthermore, the permanent electric...

    In order to perform meaningful computations using the trapped-ion quantum processor, one of the most promising approaches is to utilize a micro-fabricated scalable Quantum Charged Coupled Device (QCCD) architecture [1]. However, reliance on free-space lasers hinders efficient scaling. In our research group, the implementation of microwave near-field gate operations have been demonstrated to be...

    Progress in trapped-ion quantum computers depends on developing scalable, high-fidelity control of trapped-ion qubits. Laser-based systems have demonstrated high-fidelity, all-to-all connectivity at small scales [1]. However, the practicality of scaling complex, high-precision laser systems remains uncertain. An alternative approach for manipulating hyperfine qubits is to drive transitions...

    Surface-electrode ion traps are a promising platform for scalable
    quantum computers. In the Quantum CCD architecture, transport
    of ions between registers allows to limit the number of ions that has
    to be kept in a single potential well at any given time and to im-
    plement specialized registers for storage, cooling, detection and gate
    operations. Here we present the design of a...

    Molecular ions can be utilized to probe fundamental theories [1] as well as for cold chemical reactions and collision studies. Unlike their atomic counterparts, molecules lack cycling optical transitions, which, along with the overall complexity of their internal energy level structure, significantly complicate cooling and internal state control. These challenges were successfully solved for a...

    Molecules have rich energy level structures with transitions ranging from the kHz to PHz range, some of which exhibiting excellent coherence properties. Molecules are therefore promising for quantum information processing, as well as precision measurements, e.g. realizing quantum sensors and novel clocks, in particular for testing fundamental physics.
    However, the lack of cycling transitions...

    We present two software tools developed at the NQCC to streamline common tasks in trappedโ€‘ion research and reduce duplicated effort across the community. The first, IonVision, is an openโ€‘source framework for generating both energyโ€‘level diagrams and pulseโ€‘sequence diagrams from concise and easily configurable JSON specifications. IonVision is designed as a structured alternative to...

    Scalable quantum computing architectures require the ability to individually address qubits, maintain long coherence times relative to gate times, and support arbitrary qubit connectivity. We are developing a quantum processor architecture based on modular ion traps and physical ion shuttling, this allows for maximum connectivity, as well as zones dedicated for loading, coherent operations and...
