Ion trap quantum computing (QC) is a promising technology with the potential to revolutionize many fields. However, there are still many challenges that need to be overcome before ion trap quantum computers become a reality. These challenges include scaling up the number of qubits, improving the co herence time of qubits, and developing new algorithms and software. Despite these challenges, ion trap...
Quantum computers have emerged as a candidate for a trans formative technology with the potential to revolutionise va rious fields, from cryptography to drug discovery. Among the different types of quantum computers, ion trap-based systems have garnered significant attention due to their long coherence times and high-fidelity operations. In this article, we would like to scratch the surface of the...
In this project, we propose to develop intermediate-scale quan tum computation devices and complement the hardware with device-aware compilers for the trapped-ion platform. The proj ect cross-fertilizes three critical areas: (i) ion-trap development, pushing towards segmented ion traps with low heating rates; (ii) efficient compilation of quantum algorithms into low-level instruction circuits for...
Sayma is an advanced hardware solution designed for scien tific experiments in the field of quantum physics, particularly those involving ion traps. It is a part of Sinara, an open-sour ce ecosystem developed by a collaboration between M-Labs, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), US Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the University of Oxford, the University of Maryland, and NIST. Sayma provides a high-quality,...
The AEgIS experiment at CERN recently decided to adopt a con trol system solution based on the Sinara/ARTIQ open hardwa re and software infrastructure. This decision meant to depart from the previously used paradigm of custom-made electronics and software to control the experiment’s equipment. Instead, adopting a solution with long-term support and used in many quantum physics experiments guarantees...
In scientific research, precise control of high voltages is crucial, particularly in ion traps and Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) de tectors. The Sinara open hardware project addresses this need by developing a dedicated high-voltage system. The project introduces an STM32-based DIOT system board and a High Voltage Supply Board (HVSUP_ISOL) designed for non-real-time applications, providing up to +/-6kV...
Precise manipulation of matter at the atomic or molecular level has provided the path for the nanotechnological revolution impacting diverse fields such as biology, medicine, material science, quantum technologies, and electronics. At the Antiproton Decelerator facility at CERN, the AEgIS experiment utilises state-of-the-art technology to store and manipulate synthesised exotic atoms containing both...
