Speed up and increase the performance of your research using the PINE TRAP

Our PINE TRAP can be used for storage and manipulation of charged particles while taking advantage of simple installation into your system

The PINE TRAP features outstanding heating rates < 10 phonons/sec and high optical access, which makes it an excellent device for the storage and coherent manipulation of trapped particles. Besides the high-performance level, the PINE TRAP can be simply implemented in your vacuum system by standard vacuum components. Electrical contact to the trapping electrodes, up to four compensation electrodes, and temperature sensors can be accessed by standardized electrical vacuum feedthroughs.

PINE TRAP features

The development of a highly sophisticated ion trap is demanding and resource intensive. We offer you the right tool to overcome these constraints and boost your research.

Heating rate
Heating rate

With the PINE TRAP an axial heating rate of < 1 phonon/sec for a trap frequency of about 500 kHz can be achieved. This low heating rate already fulfills the requirements for fault-tolerant quantum operations.

Thermal and electrical conductivity

The design of the PINE TRAP is optimized for high thermal and electrical conductivity. The choice of materials and fabrication process leads to a reduced trap-temperature RF-power dependency of < 5K/W.

High optical access
High optical access

Optical access with a numerical aperture of up to 0.6 along the direction of the ion string can be used for efficient photon counting and single-ion addressing.

The PINE TRAP is already utilized by research groups to demonstrate outstanding results in the field of quantum computation and high precision metrology. The modular design with the trap flange makes it ideal for the installation in your vacuum chamber. The PINE TRAP is also available as a fully operational set-up for the storage and manipulation of charged particles – AQTs PINE SET-UP.
