State of the art quantum computers are still too small and have a too high error rate to tackle any useful problem. Surface-electrode ion traps are a promising platform to overcome both issues. However, with increased size the number of required electrical signal grows. Specially for cryogenic vacuum chambers, this will eventually result in a non tolerable heat load originating from cables. A possible solution is to hybrid-integrate control electronics together with the ion trap [1, 2]. This can potentially reduce the number of externally applied control signals to only a few, while it is still possible to supply hundreds of electrodes with suitable voltages. We present our latest work on integrating DC and microwave generators with a cryogenic ion trap.
