Trapped atomic ions are standards for quantum information processing, serving as quantum memories, hosts of quantum gates in quantum computers and simulators, and nodes of quantum communication networks. Quantum bits based on trapped ions enjoy a rare combination of attributes: They have exquisite coherence properties, they can be prepared and measured with nearly 100% efficiency, and they are readily entangled with each other through the Coulomb interaction or remote photonic interconnects. The outstanding challenge is the scaling of trapped ions to hundreds or thousands of qubits and beyond, at which scale quantum processors can outperform their classical counterparts in certain applications. We review the latest progress and prospects in that effort, with the promise of advanced architectures and new technologies, such as microfabricated ion traps and integrated photonics.

Trapped ions represent the leading system for quantum information processing, but to scale it further might require using quantum optical interconnects. To this end, we have developed a planar microfabricated ion trap array integrated with a high-finesse optical cavity for strong collective ion-photon coupling:

Cetina et. al., "One-dimensional array of ion chains coupled to an optical cavity", New Journal of Physics, 15(5), 53001 (2013) [arXiv:1302.2904]

One challenge of combinging high-finesse optical cavities with trapped ions is that the desired transition wavelengths are in the UV, where high-finesse mirror coatings suffer from creeping loss, especially under vacuum. We performed a detailed study of this effect and provided a set of recipes to mitigate it:

Gangloff et. al., "Preventing and reversing vacuum-induced optical losses in high-finesse tantalum (V) oxide mirror coatings", Optics Express, 23(14), 18014 (2015) [arXiv:1505.03381]

Optically adressing ions and cavities in the UV faces another challenge: the large linewidth of UV diode lasers (cheap and scalable compared to alternative laser sources). We showed that the linewidth of UV diode lasers can be narrowed by orders of magnitued to 2kHz by means of optical feedback from an extended fiber cavity:

Samutpraphoot et. al., “Passive intrinsic-linewidth narrowing of ultraviolet extended-cavity diode laser by weak optical feedback”, Optics Express 10, 11592 (2014). [arXiv:1402.6379]

An optical cavity, resonating cavity or optical resonator is an arrangement of mirrors that forms a standing wave cavity resonator for light waves. Optical cavities are a major component of lasers, surrounding the gain medium and providing feedback of the laser light.
