Project Description

The work focuses on projects on quantum information processing using trapped atomic ions, within the Ion Storage Group of the Time and Frequency Division of NIST.  The initial focus will be on implementing high-fidelity laser-free control and entangling operations in mixed-species trapped ion crystals.  Work will be performed on theoretical analyses, design and implementation of experimental protocols, upgrades and maintainance of experimental hardware and software, taking and analyzing data, and reporting results in appropriate published scientific journals and conferences.
