Towards a trapped electron quantum computing platform

POSTER

Abstract

Trapped electrons are an attractive system for a novel quantum computing platform. Their light mass enables fast interactions and their simple two-level system prevents leakage into unwanted states. Quantum information can be encoded in the electron's spin state, which allows for using well-known microwave technology to read out and manipulate the qubit and at the same time avoids the need for complex laser systems. We plan to explore the possibility of creating a scalable quantum computing platform for electrons by combining the advantages of chip-based and macroscopic Paul traps. Here, we present our progress toward trapping and manipulating electrons in a micro-sized 3D-printed linear Paul trap.
