We report on ground-state laser cooling of single $^{111}\mathrm{Cd}^{+}$ ions confined in radio-frequency (Paul) traps. Heating rates trapped ion motion are measured for two different trapping geometries and electrode materials, where no effort was made to shield the electrodes from atomic $\mathrm{Cd}$ source. The low heating suggest that may be well suited experiments involving quantum control motion, including applications information science.
We propose to combine neutral atom and trapped ion qubits in one scalable modular architecture that uses shuttling of individual atoms optical tweezers realize atomic interconnects between quantum registers. These are deterministic, thus may be performed on-demand. The proposed protocol is as follows: a tweezer-trapped qubit brought close an chain serving module larger computer, entangling gate the two qubits. Then quickly moved another, nearby same trap entangled with chain, separate...

Deterministic gates between remotely located can be achieved through detection of spontaneously-emitted photons, accompanied by the local Coulomb interaction neighboring ions. discuss gate speeds tolerance to experimental noise for different entanglement schemes.
Distributed quantum information processing requires a reliable memory and faithful carrier of information. Atomic qubits have very long coherence times are thus excellent candidates for storage, whereas photons ideal the transport as they can travel distances with minimum decoherence. We discuss theoretical experimental combination these two systems their use not only transfer but also scalable computation architectures.

RAP is implemented the transition from $6S_{1/2}$ ground state to metastable $5D_{5/2}$ level by applying laser at 1.76 $\mu$m. focus interplay frequency noise and power shaping effectiveness RAP, which commonly assumed be robust tool for high efficiency population transfer. However, we note that reaching transfer fidelity requires combination small linewidth large Rabi frequency.

We demonstrate broadband laser cooling of atomic ions in an rf trap using ultrafast pulses from a modelocked laser. The temperature single ion is measured by observing the size time-averaged image known harmonic potential. While lowest observed was only about 1 K, this method efficiently cools very hot atoms and can sufficiently localize trapped to produce near diffraction-limited images.
