Electric-field noise near surfaces is a common problem in diverse areas of physics and a
limiting factor for many precision measurements. There are multiple mechanisms by which …

By isolating from the environment and precisely controlling mesoscopic objects, levitation in
vacuum has evolved into a versatile technique that has already benefited diverse scientific …

Quantum information processing (QIP) has become a hot research topic as evidenced by S.
Haroche and DJ Wineland receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012. Various MEMS …

We show that locally interacting, periodically driven (Floquet) Hamiltonian dynamics coupled
to a Langevin bath support finite-temperature discrete time crystals (DTCs) with an infinite …

Cold ions trapped in the vicinity of conductive surfaces experience heating of their oscillatory
motion. Typically, the rate of this heating is orders of magnitude larger than expected from …

Visualisation and manipulation of nanoscale matter is one of the main and current
challenges in nanosciences. To this aim, different techniques have been recently developed …

Two-dimensional arrays of trapped-ion qubits are attractive platforms for scalable quantum
information processing. Sufficiently rapid reloading capable of sustaining a large array …

We describe the advantages of two-dimensional (2D), addressable arrays of spherical Paul
traps. They would provide the ability to address and tailor the interaction strengths of trapped …

Trapped charged particles have been at the forefront of quantum information processing
(QIP) for a few decades now, with deterministic two-qubit logic gates reaching record …

Traveling wave ion mobility experiments using planar electrode structures (eg, structures for
lossless ion manipulation, TW-SLIM) leverage the mature manufacturing capabilities of …
