Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to a technique for the fabrication of laser-ablation targets used in atomic sources for QIP systems that are based on atomic-based qubits.
Claims20
A method for fabrication of a laser-ablation target using an epoxy matrix for sources of atoms and molecules, the method comprising:
- placing an analyte into a receptacle and determining an analyte amount in the receptacle;
- adding one component of a multi-part epoxy to the receptacle to form an epoxy component mixture with the analyte;
- sonicating the epoxy component mixture;
- preparing a target substrate with another component of the multi-part epoxy;
- and
- removing a portion of the epoxy component mixture from the receptacle and combining the portion with the prepared target substrate;
- and
- mixing and leaving for curing the combined portion of the epoxy component mixture and the prepared target substrate.
A method for fabrication of a laser-ablation target, the method comprising:
- adding a first component of a multi-part epoxy to a solid analyte in a receptacle;
- sonicating the solid analyte and the first component of the multi-part epoxy for homogeneous mixing of the solid analyte and the first component;
- preparing a target substrate with a second component of the multi-part epoxy;
- and
- combining the homogeneous mixing of the solid analyte and the first component of the multi-part epoxy with the prepared target substrate;
- mixing and curing the combined the homogeneous mixing and the prepared target substrate;
- and
- determining a total analyte mass by weighing a final target of the mixed and cured combined homogeneous mixing and the prepared target substrate.
