Millimetre-scale Penning traps previously relied upon approximations becoming inaccurate as device dimensions shrink. Now, an analytical solution offers precise design choices for optimising planar Penning trap geometry and voltage settings at sub-millimetre scales. This advancement minimises unwanted distortions in confining potentials, essential for stable single-electron qubits used in quantum information processing.
