Abstract
A feedback control method for producing an equidistant ion string in a surface-electrode ion trap has been experimentally demonstrated. This method features three advantages: (i) The optimal voltage can be constrained within the specified reachable range. (ii) The height of trapped ions from the trap surface can be maintained at the same value when strings with different number of ions or with different ion spacings are to be trapped. (iii) This method is resistant to a stray electric field near the trap. By this method, the asymmetry of the ion string caused by a stray field is minimized. The robustness of trapping a variable number of ions at the same potential and the dependency of the axial frequency on the number of ions are also investigated experimentally. This work would be a practical method to create a linear ion string with a large number of ions and may find applications in large-scale quantum computing, quantum simulation, and phase transition studies utilizing homogeneous ion strings.
