A systematic investigation into two-dimensional (2D) segmented ion-trap architectures, particularly those incorporating T-junctions, demonstrates their potential to enhance the scalability and efficiency of trapped-ion quantum processors. Quantitative analysis shows these 2D designs can substantially reduce costly ion exchange operations and may lead to bounded gate implementation costs for quantum circuits, overcoming limitations of traditional one-dimensional linear traps.

Key insights

  • 2D architectures with T-junctions can significantly reduce the number of costly ion exchange operations compared to 1D linear traps, by enabling efficient crystal reordering through junctions.
  • The implementation cost of a single gate in star architectures can be bounded by architectural constants, independent of the total number of ions, while tree architectures offer logarithmic cost growth.
  • Optimal performance in junction-based systems depends critically on minimizing the distance between the Laser Interaction Zone (LIZ) and the junction, and on developing sophisticated shuttling algorithms to mitigate 'circuit disorganization' caused by passenger ions.
