Integrated scalable metalens array for optical addressing [PDF]
The scalability of optical addressing is one of the key challenges for the large-scale trapped-ion quantum computing (QC). Metasurfaces is a promising solution due to excellent optical performance, integration, and miniaturization. Here, we propose and numerically demonstrate a design of integrated scalable metalens array (ISMA) working in the UV 350nm
