A system for trapping barium ions in a microfabricated surface trap

A system for trapping barium ions in a microfabricated surface trap

We have developed a vacuum chamber and control system for rapid testing of microfabricated surface ion traps. Our system is modular in design and is based on an in-vacuum printed circuit board with integrated filters. We have used this system to successfully trap and cool barium ions and have achiev...
