"Creating ions may work well in a vacuum, but writing a thesis does not." This is the opening sentence of this interesting PhD thesis that introduces the reader to the latest advancements in the field of quantum computing with trapped atomic ions. Lukas guides the reader step by step through the most intriguing challenges that have been the highlight of his scientific contribution: co-trapping of multiple ion species, automated optimization of experimental parameters with Bayesian methods, and the implementation of light shift gates. This is a clear testament to a multi-year project devoted to pushing the boundaries of this emerging technology.
Well done! The entire group congratulates you, Lukas!
