Trapped ions are a leading platform for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computing with high gate fidelities, long coherence times, and natural long range ion-ion interactions. QuantumION is a project which aims to scale trapped ion quantum computing to 16 Ba+ qubits while providing an open-access resource to the whole research community. High fidelity control over each ion is crucial to scalability and direct access to the hardware level is needed to make a useful community resource. This talk presents the synthesis of these two concepts exemplified by the individual addressing scheme at the heart of QuantumION. A femtosecond laser direct write (FLDW) waveguide is used to split a single laser source into 16 path-length matched and fibre coupled beams. Intensity, phase, and frequency can be controlled independently with commercial fibre AOMs. The fibre tip of each beam is imaged onto a chain of ions aided by a micro-machined array of lenses to provide individual control over 16 ions with projected $10^{-4}$ overall crosstalk. This scheme could also allow operation at multiple wavelengths opening the door to individual state readout of the ion chain with the same beam path.

**WELCOME TO THE 2021 CAP VIRTUAL CONGRESS UNDERLINE PLATFORM**

The CAP staff and our organizing and program committees are pleased to welcome you to our 2021 Congress filled with plenary talks, technical sessions/talks, student presentations and competition sessions, workshops, and several symposia offered by the CAP divisions and its partners.  

You will also have opportunities to network with other delegates through the Gathertown platform accessed by selecting the lounge or posters button on the left.

Registered delegates should use the schedule button to call up the details of the session/event they wish to attend.  Each sessions includes a link to access the online platform where the event is taking place, either within Underline or through other Congress-related Zoom meetings.  

Invited speaker talks are identified with an (I), and student competitors include a (G*) or (U*) to identify graduate or undergraduate presenters.

Please take the time to check out the information about our sponsors and exhibitors, request further information, or leave a note of thanks for their support.

General information about the Congress can be found on the CAP website Congress pages at https://www.cap.ca/congress/2021.

Looking for a specific talk?   A full searchable list is available on our Indico Congress site at https://indico.cern.ch/event/985448/contributions/

We look forward to sharing this exciting week with you!
