Abstract

Trapped ions hold promise as the basis of highly accurate clocks and other quantum sensors. However, many real-world applications for quantum sensing require miniaturized, environmentally robust devices that can operate in the field. The significant experimental overhead imposed by free-space optics for control laser light delivery and collection has been an impediment to truly compact trapped-ion based clocks and sensors. The use of integrated technologies—including photonic waveguides, single-photon avalanche detectors (SPADs) and integrated electronics—provides a potential pathway towards overcoming these obstacles. I will discuss MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s recent efforts in this area, including demonstrations of integrated trapped-ion light delivery and collection and prospects for combining these technologies into a single chip-based trapped-ion reference.
