Two-dimensional linear trap array for quantum information processing

We present an ion-lattice quantum processor based on a two-dimensional arrangement of linear surface traps. Our design features a tunable coupling between ions in adjacent lattice sites and a configurable ion-lattice connectivity, allowing one, e.g., to realize rectangular and triangular lattices with the same trap chip. We present detailed trap simulations of a simplest-instance ion array with $2\times9$ trapping sites and report on the fabrication of a prototype device in an industrial facility. The design and the employed fabrication processes are scalable to larger array sizes. We demonstrate trapping of ions in rectangular and triangular lattices and demonstrate transport of a $2\times2$ ion-lattice over one lattice period.
