Quantum information processing with trapped electrons and superconducting electronics

Abstract

We describe a parametric frequency conversion scheme for trapped charged particles, which enables a coherent interface between atomic and solid-state quantum systems. The scheme uses geometric nonlinearities of the potential of coupling electrodes near a trapped particle, and can be implemented using standard charged-particle traps. Our scheme does not rely on actively driven solid-state devices, and is hence largely immune to noise in such devices. We present a toolbox which can be used to build electron-based quantum information processing platforms, as well as quantum hybrid platforms using trapped electrons and superconducting electronics. © IOP Publishing and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
