Abstract

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.
