Simulation and Analysis of a MEMS based Micromirror System for Deployment in Optical Beam Steering Systems Used in Experimental Quantum Computing

The aim of this study is to highlight the utility and applicability of Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology in addressing the existing challenges of precision control of beams in performing manipulation of two-dimensional atomic systems or states of a qubit in Quantum Optics setups. This study specifically focuses on the utility of a controllable MEMS based Micromirror that maneuvers a laser source to access multiple positions of a qubit in a two-dimensional trapped lattice; an application of pertinent interest to Experimental Quantum Computation. This paper focuses on simulating a MEMS based micromirror system proposed by (Knoernschild et al. [1]) in COMSOL and analyzing its architecture.
