Surface Planar Ion Chip for Linear Radio-Frequency Paul Traps

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We propose a surface planar ion chip which forms a linear radio frequency Paul ion trap. The electrodes reside in the two planes of a chip, and the trap axis is located above the chip surface. Its electric field and potential distribution are similar to the standard linear radio frequency Paul ion trap. This ion trap geometry may be greatly meaningful for quantum information processing.
