Experimental setup (IMAGE) ETH Zurich Department of Physics Caption One of the two ion traps used, seen in the centre of the image. Around the trap run a number of laser beam lines for the preparation and manipulation of the ions. At the front of the trap, the end of the quantum network link to the other trap — an optical fibre — is visible.
