Several physical implementations of qubits exist to employ quantum computational advantages, some of them are superconducting qubits, ion-trap, quantum dots. Out of all of this trapped ion technology has a good amount of potential, although superconducting qubits are the most common one. Basically ion is trapped in an energy function saddle point to harness the qubit property from the ion. An introduction of this promising technology will be discussed and shared its advantages over superconducting properties. Some meticulous procedures are followed to make quantum gates and at the end of the talk, we will discuss its scaling techniques and future potentials.

5. Ions in a trap
Earnshaw’s theorem- Static electric field cant trap ions
3-Dimentional AC electric field is necessary
AC electric field creates a saddle potential
6. Doppler Cooling
Ions are restless and they are in vibration mode
Temperature equivalent to average kinetic energy
Opposite interaction makes ions slower
Emits photon at different wavelength
– Raman sideband cooling
