An integrated ion chip for a large scale quantum device of interconnected ion (or other charged particles) traps each holding a small number of particles for a finite period of time, in a preferred embodiment using sapphire as the substrate, having an internal trapping, translation, and quantum manipulation zones and having a first set of electrodes and a second set of electrodes for trapping ions and for quantum manipulations, in a preferred embodiment using silicon carbide (and materials of similar characteristics) as a core structure material, and utilizing unique fabrication processes using micromachining and thin film techniques. |
