This video is a recording of a Nullspace customer presentation webinar featuring Dr. Curtis Volin, Principal Ion Trap Designer at Oxford Ionics. He provides a walk-through of the layout and simulation of a linear microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap using #NullspaceES, an electrostatic simulation code. The #iontrap demonstration includes features that are not captured in a gapless plane approximation, including a load slot, Faraday cage, and finite die extent. Dr. Volin also introduces methods that exploit Nullspace’s symmetry features to reduce the memory size and runtime of large trap simulations. #NullspaceES is the world’s only commercial electrostatic solver for large-scale, rapid, and accurate ion trap design. It combines fast, direct solver technology with a flexible Python interface to drive innovation in ion trap development. Watch the full presentation to see the step-by-step workflow and Q&A, including meshing, simulation runtime, and walking through results. https://lnkd.in/gdijVNBJ 📅 Schedule a demo with Nullspace, Inc. today: https://lnkd.in/gBuxpFfG

Cambridge Startup Wave Photonics Revolutionizes Quantum Circuit Design with Multi-Wavelength Platform Wave Photonics launches game-changing SiNQ process with 1056-element PDK, transforming quantum photonic circuit design across unprecedented wavelength range (493nm-1550nm). Key Innovation Highlights: - 2x improvement in component performance uniformity - Fabrication-aware S-Parameters for precise modeling - Seamless integration with GDSFactory, Siemens L-Edit - QPICPAC packaging compatibility “The diversity of wavelengths used in quantum technologies, spanning through the visible range and into the infra-red, has long presented a challenge for photonic integration”, said James Lee the CEO of Wave Photonics. “With the release of the SiNQ process and PDK, we’re demonstrating the power and flexibility of the design technology we’ve been building and showing that photonics design across the visible range is now a solved problem. Making a quantum photonic integrated circuit is now like playing with Lego and can be done by simply putting pre-designed building blocks together.” Chris Goodings, VP Engineering, Oxford Ionics said “Integrated photonics are one of the crucial enabling technologies towards building scalable trapped-ion quantum computers. Designing photonic components at the more unusual wavelengths needed for quantum computing remains a challenge, often needing experimental iterations to center the performance over process variation — so the ability to provide “right-first-time” designs would be of great benefit both to Oxford Ionics and the wider photonic community. We were delighted to work with Wave and the broader consortium on this project, providing input and insights on specs as well as fabricating designs using our own Quantum Processor manufacturing process.” Developed through £500k @Innovate UK project with CORNERSTONE, Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult, and Oxford Ionics. #QuantumPhotonics #IntegratedPhotonics #QuantumComputing #PhotonicDesign #Innovation #QuantumTech

💡“Any fool can build complex technology. To actually build something that scales, you need to build a simple technology.” Oxford Ionics CEO Chris Ballance sat down with UKTN to cover how we’re building the most powerful quantum computers as simply as possible. With this philosophy at the core of our technology, Chris breaks down how we demonstrated record-breaking quantum performance on a classical chip that we can build in a standard semiconductor fab. In this half hour podcast, Chris also covers: ✅The practical challenges of getting quantum computers out of the lab and into businesses ✅The UK’s rich history of quantum computing innovation, and where it goes from here  ✅ Lessons learned from Chris’ own journey into entrepreneurship and scaling a startup 👇 Follow the link below to listen to the full podcast:  https://lnkd.in/enbWEnAw #UKTech #Innovation #QuantumComputing #TrappedIons #Quantum #Deeptech
