Trapped Electrons in a linear Paul trap

POSTER

Abstract

Recent advancements in quantum computing have introduced trapped electrons as a potential qubit system. They have the potential of exhibiting long coherence times, akin to ions, but with the added advantage of faster gate operations. Furthermore, using electron spins as qubit states, state leakages are inherently eliminated due to the simplicity of the spins' two-level system. Being a novel system, challenges persist in trapping, controlling, and readout at both room and cryogenic temperatures. Here we report on our progress including successfully trapping electrons at room temperature in a linear Paul trap and we will give an update on our cryogenic system designed to read out the quantum state of a single electron.
