2D Arrays of RF-Addressable Ion Traps — •Muir Kumph¹, Michael Brownnutt¹, and Rainer Blatt^1,2 — ¹Insitut für Experimentalphysik, Innsbruck, Österreich — ²Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation, Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Innsbruck, Österreich

The design and testing of 2 dimensional arrays of ion traps is described and analyzed. Each ion trap is a point-like Paul trap which confines the ion in all 3 dimensions. However, the RF voltage on each segmented, RF electrode can be independently varied, allowing ions in neighboring traps to be brought close to one another, thereby tuning the interaction between them. Varying the RF drive of the traps in the 2D array allows for pairwise interactions in more than one dimension and provides a possible avenue for massive scalability of quantum computation and quantum simulation with trapped ions.
