A planar Penning trap — •Fernando Galve, Paula Fernandez, Stefan Stahl, and Günter Werth — Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz

We have developed a planar Penning trap consisting of concentric ring electrodes placed on a substrate. It is intended to be used for trapping single electrons for quantum computing applications. Successful operation of the trap with many electrons will be reported. Measurement of motional frequencies and storage times serve to optimize the trapping parameters with respect to harmonicity of the trapping potential. The results will be compared to potential simulations.
