Intellectual MeritThis proposal presents a career development plan for integrating research and education on the topic of hardware system development for trapped ion quantum information processors(QIPs). Toward this goal, critical research activities for system-level design and enablingtechnology development are proposed. System design and optimization bounded by performancerequirements and available technology should be an on-going process in this effort. It is anticipated that a MOEM system that delivers the large number of precisely tailored laser beams required for qubit manipulation will be a critical missing technology component. Experimental development of functionally integrated MOEMS technology optimized for this purpose is proposed as the main activity of the proposal.Broader Impacts. The technology platform for integrated MOEMS will find a variety of excitingapplications in other areas of science and engineering research, including integrated atomic clocks, inertial sensors, optical communication elements and integrated optical sensors. A network of researchers with diverse expertise established will be valuable source of future innovation and research initiatives.The educational component is an attempt to introduce a new paradigm for engineering education at all levels aimed at stimulating creativity, and ultimately will enhance the career prospects of the engineering students. The undergraduate curriculum development effort will concentrate on developing project-based laboratory experience at early stages of engineering education. Fundamental topics, like quantum information, will motivate the students while the projects will be managed to expose students to non-technical topics like teamwork and leadership on top of technical contents. The graduate courses will emphasize engineering principles for integrating cutting-edge technology into a practical system design.The PI and the institution (Duke University) has successful track record of educating female andminority engineers, and will continue to expand research and educational opportunities for them.These activities will stimulate collaboration between physicists and engineers on this front: historically, such collaboration played a critical role in every juncture of successful application of new physical discoveries. Forming a collaborative effort among experts with various technology components to realize a QIP in the long run will also be an important element critical to the success of the program.

知识分子提案提出了一项职业发展计划，该计划将有关困住的离子量子信息处理器（QIPS）的硬件系统开发主题的研究和教育整合。为了实现这一目标，提出了针对系统级设计和启用技术开发的关键研究活动。系统设计和优化以性能和可用技术为界限，应在此努力中是一个持续的过程。可以预计，一个MOEM系统提供量子操作所需的大量精确量身定制的激光束将是关键的缺失技术组件。为此目的优化了功能整合的MOEMS技术的实验开发是提案的主要活动。集成MOEM的技术平台将在其他科学和工程研究的其他领域中找到各种令人兴奋的应用程序，包括集成原子时钟，惯性传感器，光学通信元件和集成的光学传感器。建立了各种专业知识的研究人员网络将是未来创新和研究计划的宝贵来源。教育组成部分是试图在各个层面上引入旨在刺激创造力的各级工程教育的新范式，最终将增强职业生涯的前景工程专业的学生。本科课程发展工作将集中于在工程教育的早期阶段发展基于项目的实验室经验。基本主题（例如量子信息）将激励学生，而项目将设法使学生接触到非技术主题，例如团队合作和领导力，除了技术内容之外。研究生课程将强调将尖端技术集成到实用系统设计中的工程原则。PI和机构（Duke University）成功地进行了教育女性和小型工程师的记录，并将继续为他们扩大研究和教育机会。这些活动将刺激这方面的物理学家和工程师之间的合作：从历史上看，这种合作在成功应用新物理发现的每一个关键时刻都起着至关重要的作用。从长远来看，在具有各种技术组件的专家之间建立协作努力也将是对计划成功至关重要的重要因素。
