Here, we present our recent progress in developing a large-scale (>30 ions) quantum simulator based on a segmented blade trap housed in a room-temperature, extreme high-vacuum system. This system offers enhanced control over the confining potential and an increased ion lifetime. The quantum processor, designed following a systems engineering approach, includes low crosstalk individual optical addressing schemes, both for coherent and incoherent operations. Coherent Raman addressing is facilitated using dual acousto-optic deflectors. In parallel, the system will feature in situ mid-circuit measurement and reset [1] using <1e-4 intensity crosstalk resonant beams controlled by a digital micromirror device. This processor will enable us to execute a wide range of quantum experiments, such as measurement-based quantum simulations of spin Hamiltonians and hybrid digital-analog quantum algorithms.
