Oregon Ions

Trapped Ion Quantum Computing at the University of Oregon. Opinions almost certainly not Dave's.

@aj_rasmus @NSF @arxiv If Sinara isn't the spirit of open source I'm not sure what is.

[Oregon Ions @IonsOregon]

@aj_rasmus @NSF @arxiv What other hardware would be worth the overhead of doing a good job open sourcing (vs. the usual situation people just emailing other groups and asking for CAD files) and would find enough use to not just stagnate? Optical breadboards are certainly one area I can imagine.

[Oregon Ions @IonsOregon]

@aj_rasmus @NSF @arxiv You contribute and give feedback using the github issues. The meta repository is for things like suggesting new hardware. https://t.co/eXd6XK9kUI

[Oregon Ions @IonsOregon]

@RC_Sterling The FPGA-based controllers and the stand-alone boards with microprocessors do seem to cover most use cases. There has been a bit of development on Humpback though, eg.: https://t.co/AT5TkvHBTx I I T. .

Dave Wineland of @uoregon physics describes childhood in Sacramento, measuring the electron g-factor at @PhysicsUwa , the world-class instruments offered by @NIST, building atomic clocks, and what it was like to win the @NobelPrize

Huge savings!

https://t.co/GEW6EXg6q5 is out so let’s talk about *wiring up quantum computers* 🧵...

Be the next Dave.

Two permanent staff openings in @NIST Time and Frequency Division for physicists to develop protocols for quantum information processing/sensing & optical frequency metrology with trapped atomic ions https://t.co/G6vLxvUWgL deadline 24 April 2023 @BlackPhysicists @APSphysics

The setting for this photo was chosen because of the uncanny resemblance between the military hero in the painting and quantum hero Dave Wineland.

Qubit addressing in the QCCD using the local control resource you 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 have - the DC electrodes.

[HearingTheQuantum @quantumpod]

We're very pleased with gate! The single-qubit gate landscape is interesting. Getting local lasers/microwave is challenging, and so methods where there is just one global drive are very appealing... There is however a problem ... 1/n 🧵

[HearingTheQuantum @quantumpod]

At @OxfordIonics we think hard about how to *actually* build useful quantum computers. And now we're expanding our architecture team to think about it even harder!😉 More info below or via DM

The thing you have to respect about Zeilinger is that he brings this cool dog to conferences (or at least he did this one time circa 2009).

[Oregon Ions @IonsOregon]

@M_Labs_Ltd Could be worse. I used to have a scope that ran Windows Me.

[Oregon Ions @IonsOregon]

Happy side effect that they make your traps look like brutalist architecture.

[Oregon Ions @IonsOregon]

Putting traps on the surface of chips really eases fabrication, which is great for scalability. But flat electrodes don’t produce the best fields. We’ve worked on adding a 3D printing step to get back to an optimal geometry. https://t.co/HJ6wQfBW6j

A fun lockdown project with the 3D printing experts in the Gardner lab at @UOKnightCampus
