Research Topic
Experimental realizations of routing or shuttling trapped ions in two dimensions in a quantum computer. I want to find papers which specifically focus on the routing and shuttling characteristics, and only in 2 dimensions.
Summary
Experimental realizations of routing or shuttling trapped ions in two dimensions in a quantum computer are extensively studied and discussed in various research articles, with particularly detailed examples in references [1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 27, 42].
The selected references provide comprehensive empirical data and theoretical frameworks on the strategies and technologies employed for 2D ion movement in quantum computing environments. For instance, [2] demonstrates precise routing using a microfabricated X-junction surface trap, while [3] explores the use of a T-junction ion trap array for 2D ion handling. Additionally, reference [27] offers a deep theoretical insight into shuttling ions through corners and junctions in 2D arrays, connecting theoretical models directly to practical experiments, thereby enhancing the understanding of not only the implementation but also the optimization required for scalable quantum computing architectures.

Useful background information
In the context of routing or shuttling trapped ions in two dimensions for quantum computing, it is essential to understand the underlying ion trap technologies, such as the use of microfabricated surface traps or three-dimensional (3D) RF traps modified for 2D operations. The precision control of electric or magnetic field gradients for ion movement, and the minimization of decoherence and heating of ions during shuttling processes, are critical for maintaining quantum coherence and fidelity. Additionally, the development of scalable architectures that allow for complex ion routing paths in 2D without cross-talk or operational errors is paramount.
