11. He continued work on ion traps at the University of Washington, until his retirement in October 2002. 12. The electron-beam ion trap ( EBIT ) is able to produce and store 78-fold charged mercury ions. 13. Another topic of research is the theory of dynamical control of ion traps and Nitrogen vacancies in Diamond. 14. Additionally, ion trap mass analyzers can be used to perform multistage MS / MS in a single device. 15. Microfabricated ion traps exist where the electrodes lie in a plane with the trapping region above the plane. 16. Ion trap in a semiconductor chip.17. This toroidal shaped trap is a configuration that allows the increased miniaturization of an ion trap mass analyzer. 18. The PPMS is based on four parallel disk ion trap , a small ion getter pump and a micro-computer. 19. In 2010, researchers developed microfabricated planar ion traps using VLSI techniques for use in a trapped ion quantum computer. 20. With Wineland, Monroe proposed a scalable quantum computer architecture based on shuttling atomic ions through complex ion trap chips.
