a Schematic diagram of the six-needle Paul trap and relevant levels of the 171Yb+ ion. b Experimental microwave instrument for generating the field to drive the two level system. The AWG is programmed to implement the target Hamiltonian and control the amplitude of the Gaussian noise which is used as a dephasing channel.
