Abstract: |
The disclosure describes various aspects of a tunable, mechanically stable radio-frequency (RF) amplifier. More specifically, the disclosure describes an RF amplifier designed to be tunable and mechanically stable to match and maintain stable driving of an ion trap for quantum processing applications. A precision actuator is used to finely tune the RF amplifier input in a repeatable and mechanically stable way to match the ion trap resonance. Low-loss tangent materials and torch annealing techniques are used to make the amplifier section mechanically stable. |
