==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEAM SHAPING FOR LARGE ASPECT RATIO WITH A SINGLE CYLINDRICAL LENS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240282475 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEAM SHAPING FOR LARGE ASPECT RATIO WITH A SINGLE CYLINDRICAL LENS

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for quantum information processing (QIP) systems, specifically focusing on beam shaping for large aspect ratios using a single cylindrical lens. 

* A QIP system comprises a laser source, a cylindrical lens, and an ion trap. 
* The laser source generates a Gaussian laser beam. 
* The cylindrical lens aligns with a portion of the laser beam and transforms it into an anamorphic shape. 
* The ion trap contains multiple trapped ions that can be targeted by the beam. 
* The cylindrical lens positions the beam in relation to the ion trap so that the fast axis of the beam aligns with the ions' axis, while the slow axis is perpendicular to the ions.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (qip) systems, and more particularly, for beam shaping for large aspect ratios with a single cylindrical lens. in some aspects, a qip system includes a laser source, a cylindrical lens, and an ion trap. the laser source produces a gaussian laser beam. the cylindrical lens is aligned with at least a portion of the laser beam and shapes the laser beam into a beam having an anamorphic shape. the ion trap includes a plurality of trapped ions addressable by the beam. the cylindrical lens orients the beam relative to the ion trap such that a fast axis of the beam is aligned with an axis of the plurality of trapped ions, and a slow axis of the beam is traverse to the plurality of trapped ions.
