Die-integrated aspheric mirror

A die-integrated aspheric mirror system, comprising:

• an ion trap die comprising a plurality of separate ion locations each configured to separately trap an ion in a potential well;
• a first aspheric mirror having an ellipsoidal configuration physically integrated with the ion trap die;
• a first light source configured to promote emission of fluorescent light by excitation of at least one ion trapped in the plurality of separate ion locations, wherein the first light source is positioned distal to the first aspheric mirror relative to the ion trap die;
• and
• a first plurality of optical fibers positioned between the first aspheric mirror and the ion trap die, wherein the plurality of optical fibers is configured to collect fluorescent light reflected by the first aspheric mirror that was emitted from the plurality of separate ion locations.

A die-integrated aspheric mirror system, comprising:

• an ion trap die comprising a plurality of separate ion locations each configured to separately trap an ion in a potential well;
• a first ellipsoidal aspheric mirror physically integrated with the ion trap die, wherein the plurality of separate ion locations is positioned within and substantially parallel to a major axis of the first ellipsoidal aspheric mirror;
• a light source configured to promote emission of fluorescent light by aimed excitation of a plurality of ions each trapped in one of a plurality of separate ion locations;
• a first plurality of optical fibers positioned between the first ellipsoidal aspheric mirror and the ion trap die to collect fluorescent light;
• a processor;
• and
• memory having executable instructions to be executed by the processor to:
• determine a particular ion location from which the fluorescent light was emitted by each of the first plurality of optical fibers being positioned to collect fluorescent light focused thereon by the first ellipsoidal aspheric mirror.
