1. A quantum control device comprising:
a substrate comprising a substrate surface;
an insulator layer over the substrate surface and defining a cavity, the insulator layer comprising an insulator surface that defines an opening to the cavity;
a field-responsive layer over the insulator surface and comprising a target region that resides over the opening to the cavity; and
a projection that extends from the substrate into the cavity and terminates at a tip, the projection configured to produce an electric field that interacts with a quantum state in the target region, the tip residing in the cavity and configured to concentrate the electric field produced by the projection.
