Team 28: Automated Optical Fiber Alignment for Trapped-Ion Quantum Computing
Abstract
One approach to creating a quantum computer is to use trapped ions, which rely on lasers delivered by optical fibers for quantum control. Our robust feedback control system uses a six-axis stage to autonomously align optical fiber arrays with micron scale precision. Using a final epoxy connection, we have streamlined the coupling process — paving the way for the quantum computing revolution.
