Q2020 Systems Vision

Ben Keitch

Q2020 Top level System

Nodes need 1x0.6x0.6m volume
Need to be close together (photonic entanglement ~1m)
Either 20x 0.7m high units or 7x full-height racks:

TECHNOLOGY SUBSYSTEMS
1. Optical X-Connect
2. Optical Power
Supply
3. Beam delivery
4. Ion trap module
5. Control System

Q2020 Single node : 1, 3, 4 & 5

Ion trap, vacuum, RF
driver, magnetics, and
optics on 2-level
bread board
Amps and drivers
DDS and local control
Forced-air cooling

Laser Power bus : 2

Diode lasers (ECDL) bought
TiSaph and pulsed laser bought
Stabilisation and control in place
Enough power available for 20 units (?)
Can amplify with injected slaves
Microwaves might reduce requirements
