Abstract: A controller is configured to control operation of a confinement apparatus comprising one or more radio frequency rails and a plurality of control electrodes. The controller comprises a processing element, non-transitory computer-readable memory storing computer-executable instructions. The computer-executable instructions are configured to, when executed by the processing element, cause the controller to at least identify a manipulatable object transport operation to be performed; obtain a set of voltage signal sequences corresponding to the manipulatable object transport operation to be performed from the voltage signal sequence library; and cause one or more voltage sources to apply respective voltage signal sequences of the set of voltage signal sequences corresponding to the manipulatable object transport operation to respective control electrodes of the plurality of control electrodes via respective filters.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, systems, or computer program products for deterministically reordering a group of atomic objects within an atomic object confinement apparatus. The group of atomic objects comprises Object A, Object B, Object C, and Object D, where Object B and Object C are of a first atomic type, and Object A and Object D are not of the first atomic type. The atomic object confinement apparatus comprises a plurality of potential generating elements which are controlled to create a time-dependent potential field within the atomic object confinement apparatus. The time-dependent potential field experienced by the group of atomic objects causes Object A, Object B, Object C, and Object D to move along corresponding reordering trajectories such that the group of atomic objects is deterministically reshaped and/or reordered.
