NIST hosted the inaugural North American Conference on Trapped Ions (NACTI), on August 14 - 18, 2017. The meeting brought together the North American and international ion trapping communities, and focused on applications of trapped ions in quantum technologies, precision measurements, chemistry and spectroscopy.
Conference topics included:
- Qubits and gate-model quantum computing
- Trapology (ion trap design, fabrication, cryogenic cooling, and surface science issues)
- Quantum simulation
- Low energy tests of fundamental physics
- Frequency standards
- Molecular ions
- Highly charged ions
- Quantum optics (photonic entanglement and cavity QED)
- Hybrid ion-neutral atomic systems
