Trapped atomic ions are standard qubits for quantum computing with their long coherence times and high-fidelity qubit operations for universal quantum logic gates. However, conventional trapped ion systems often utilize bulky vacuum and optics setups, hindering scalability and ease of use. We aim to address these infrastructure issues by packaging micro-fabricated ion traps in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment and designing optics to be an integral part of the overall system. Additionally, small footprint of the sealed UHV package allows users to easily install it on a cryostat to benefit from lower heating rates and further reduced vacuum levels. Moreover, these ion trap packages can be conveniently swapped to benefit from micro-fabricated ion trap manufacturing improvements without external UHV maintenance requirements. Towards achieving this goal, we report successful ion trapping in a compact cryogenic setup and characterize the performance of our apparatus for quantum computing applications.
