Loading of a surface-electrode ion trap from a remote, precooled source

We demonstrate loading of ions into a surface-electrode trap (SET) from a remote, laser-cooled source of neutral atoms. We first cool and load ∼10[superscript 6] neutral [superscript 88]Sr atoms into a magneto-optical trap from an oven that has no line of sight with the SET. The cold atoms are then...
