The major challenges to fabricate quantum processors and future nano solid state devices are material modification techniques with nanometre resolution and suppression of statistical fluctuations of dopants or qubit carriers. Based on a segmented ion trap with mK laser cooled ions we have realized a deterministic single ion source which could operate with a huge range of sympathetically cooled ion species, isotopes or ionic molecules. We have deterministically extracted a predetermined number of ions on demand and have measured a longitudinal velocity uncertainty of 6.3m/s and a spatial beam divergence of 0.6 mrad. We show in numerical simulations that if the ions are cooled to the motional ground state (Heisenberg limit) nanometre spatial resolution can be achieved.
