Abstract

For quantum computers to become a reality, high-fidelity logic gates are required to be implemented on a scalable architecture. The IQT group follows an approach based on using a magnetic field gradient and microwave radiation to implement the required operations. To demonstrate their scalability to many quantum bit systems, these operations need to be implemented on micro-fabricated surface ion traps. In this thesis I describe the technologies I developed for surface ion traps with magnetic field gradients. This entailed the design, assembly and operation of two surface ion trap systems with permanent magnets for generating large magnetic field gradients of 140T=m, novel in-vacuum radio-frequency and microwave emitters for implementing high-speed quantum state manipulation and development of robust and reliable laser control systems required for stable long-term experimental operation.
