Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of optical technology and quantum technology, and in particular relates to a cold atom capture device based on transmission-type stacked atomic chips. Background Art

[0002] As quantum technology is booming, cold atoms, as important carriers of quantum bits, are increasingly becoming more important in the fields of quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum communication. However, the popular cold atom capture devices on the market currently rely mainly on reflective chips, which capture and manipulate atoms by reflecting light and magnetic fields through the metal or dielectric film on the surface of the chip. Although reflective chips are widely used in the field of quantum technology, they have limitations such as slow operation speed, low atom capture efficiency, and cramped operating space, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for small-size, high-performance quantum systems. In order to address these challenges, it is urgent to explore new on-chip cold atom capture devices.

[0003] The working principle of the transmission chip is to capture and manipulate atoms through the light field that passes through the chip and the magnetic field on the chip surface. This design breaks the limitations of traditional reflective chips. Transmission chips have significant advantages in capturing and manipulating cold atoms. First, its structural design makes the interaction time between atoms and microwave fields shorter, thereby achieving faster atomic manipulation speed. This feature is particularly important in quantum computing and other applications that require high-speed operation. Secondly, the transmission chip has better coupling characteristics between the light field and the microwave field. By precisely controlling the phase of the light field, efficient manipulation of atoms can be achieved. In addition, the transmission chip also provides a more flexible way to manipulate atoms, so that the light field has more control conditions and is no longer limited to reflection conditions. Moreover, another important advantage of the transmission chip is that it is easy to detect. Since the transmission chip can detect the state of cold atoms from both the front and back sides of the chip, it makes it more convenient and efficient in the application of devices with limited space. At the same time, the transmission chip structure can also be easily expanded to multiple atoms, thereby realizing parallel manipulation of multiple atoms. This parallel manipulation capability can significantly improve the scale and efficiency of quantum computing.

[0004] Chip stacking technology is an advanced semiconductor packaging technology that stacks multiple chips or chip layers closely together vertically or horizontally, thereby significantly improving the functional density, computing efficiency and communication speed of the chip. This technology can significantly reduce the physical distance between chips, reduce costs, and is widely used in the fields of computers, communications, consumer electronics, etc., especially in cutting-edge technology fields such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and cloud computing, showing great application potential and value. Transmissive chips are the prerequisite for atomic chip stacking technology.

[0005] With the rapid development of quantum technology, the performance requirements for cold atom capture devices are becoming increasingly higher. Traditional reflective cold atom chip devices can no longer meet the needs of small-size, high-performance quantum systems. Therefore, developing a new type of cold atom capture device based on a stack of transmission chips and atom chips to increase space utilization, improve atom capture efficiency and manipulation speed has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current field of on-chip cold atom capture.
