Abstract

Devices, methods, and systems for enclosures for an ion trapping device are described herein. One enclosure for an ion trapping device includes a heat spreader base that includes a plurality of apertures. The ion trapping device may also include a grid array having a plurality of pins extending outward from a surface of the grid array. The apertures of the heat spreader base may be arranged such that the plurality of pins passes through the plurality of apertures.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. An enclosure for an ion trapping device, comprising:
a heat spreader base that includes a plurality of apertures; and
a grid array having a plurality of pins extending outward from a surface of the grid array;
wherein the apertures of the heat spreader base are arranged such that the plurality of pins passes through the plurality of apertures;
wherein the enclosure includes a spacer with a plurality of studs coupled to the grid array, an interposer, and an ion trap die coupled to the spacer.

2. The enclosure of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pins passes through a different one of the plurality of apertures.

3. The enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the heat spreader base includes a first portion and a second portion and wherein the first portion surrounds the second portion.

4. The enclosure of claim 3 , wherein a portion of the plurality of pins are removed at an area that corresponds to the first portion of the heat spreader base.

5. The enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure includes a roof portion coupled to the heat spreader base.

6. The enclosure of claim 5 , wherein the roof portion includes an aperture positioned over an interposer and an ion trap die when the roof portion is coupled to the heat spreader base.

7. The enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure includes a connector coupled to the interposer.

8. The enclosure of claim 7 , wherein the connector includes at least one of: a microwave connector and a radio frequency (RF) connector.

9. The enclosure of claim 7 , wherein the connector is coupled indirectly or directly to the ion trap die.

10. A system for trapping ions, comprising:
a vacuum enclosure to provide a vacuum within the vacuum enclosure; and
an ion trapping enclosure within the vacuum enclosure, comprising:
a heat spreader base that includes a plurality of apertures; and
a grid array with a plurality of pins aligned with the plurality of apertures such that the plurality of pins passes through the plurality of apertures and wherein the enclosure includes a roof portion coupled to the heat spreader base and a plurality of optical delivery beams are positioned between the heat spreader base and the roof portion to provide optical access to the ion trap die.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of pins of the grid array are coupled to circuitry.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the enclosure includes an interposer and ion trap die coupled to a spacer.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the heat spreader base comprises a copper material to remove heat from the interposer and the ion trap.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the grid array comprises a ceramic material with an aperture that includes a plurality of connectors to electrically couple the interposer to the grid array.

15. An enclosure for an ion trapping device, comprising:
a thermal conductive heat spreader base that includes a plurality of apertures;
a ceramic pin grid array having a plurality of pins extending outward from a surface of the ceramic pin grid array;
wherein the apertures of the heat spreader base are arranged such that the plurality of pins passes through the plurality of apertures.

16. The enclosure of claim 15 , wherein the enclosure includes a spacer positioned within a depressed aperture of the ceramic pin grid array.

17. The enclosure of claim 16 , wherein the spacer comprises a tungsten material.
