Optimised surface-electrode ion-trap junctions for experiments with cold molecular ions
Optimised surface-electrode ion-trap junctions for experiments with cold molecular ions
We discuss the design and optimisation of two types of junctions between surface-electrode radiofrequency ion-trap arrays that enable the integration of experiments with sympathetically cooled molecular ions on a monolithic chip device. A detailed description of a multi-objective optimisation procedure applicable to an arbitrary planar junction is presented, and the …
