We will look at an approach of building a quantum computer by using trapped ions:
|
|
|
|
We look at single atoms with one electron orbiting the nucleus.
|
|
The quantum state is encoded as the orbital of the electron.

|
### Cooling
|
|
|
|
An ion of energy level $E_i$ when hit by a photon of energy level $E_j-E_i$ will go to energy level $E_j$
