Decreased crosstalk atomic object detection

Abstract

Various embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, systems, or computer program products for performing decreased crosstalk atomic object reading/detection. A controller is operatively connected to components of a system comprising a confinement apparatus comprising RF electrodes defining an RF null axis and a plurality of longitudinal electrodes. The components comprise voltage sources and manipulation sources. The controller is configured to cause an atomic object being read and neighboring atomic object(s) to be confined by the confinement apparatus; and cause the voltage sources to provide first control signals to longitudinal electrodes. The first control signals cause the longitudinal electrodes to generate a push field configured to cause one of the atomic object being read or the neighboring atomic object(s) to move off the RF null axis. The controller is further configured to cause a manipulation source to generate/provide a reading beam that is at least partly incident on the atomic object being read.
