Abstract

Physicists have always focused on designing and implementing methods which would eventually allow them to confine and levitate a particle in a well defined region in space, under conditions of minimal perturbations, in an almost interaction free environment. This led to the development of radically new techniques for trapping atomic particles. One major advantage of such a system lies in the fact that the apparatus used to prepare and manipulate atomic quantum states is already in place. It has been refined and developed for high precision spectroscopy, quantum logic and high accuracy frequency standards. This paper deals with optimization of ion trap geometries which are widely used in modern physics..
