Abstract

This thesis focuses on the design of a vacuum system for a trapped ion quantum computer that will house an advanced ion chip trap from Sandia National Laboratories, capable of performing high fidelity operations on up to tens of qubits. The thesis will outline the different design considerations, criteria, and serve to document the final design choices, in addition to optical design work that will be used to drive resonant atomic transitions in the qubit of choice, 133Ba+, as well as the qudit, 137Ba+.
