Entropy, Volume 27, Issue 12

2025 December - 85 articles

Cover Story: Quantum technologies across platforms, from trapped ions to superconducting circuits, confront a shared challenge: electric field noise originating at material surfaces limits coherence and restricts scalability in size and dimension. In trapped-ion systems, this surface-induced noise manifests as anomalous heating that degrades motional control. We demonstrate that in situ argon-ion treatment of multi-material surface electrodes produces competing, non-monotonic effects: initial cleaning improves field stability while increasing heating, whereas continued exposure reverses both trends, defining narrow operational windows set by surface morphology and redeposition dynamics. These results define actionable strategies for systematic surface engineering, underscoring materials–physics collaboration as a prerequisite for extendable quantum technologies. View this paper
