+- [Q3D and Lumerical ion trap modelling](https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-workflows/tree/main/q3d-lumerical-new): this workflow
+  is fully automated and models a chip-based ion trap that incorporates optical antennas with surface electrodes. It implements the same configuration as the [Maxwell2D and Lumerical ion trap modelling example](https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-workflows/tree/main/maxwell2d-lumerical), but the electromagnetic analysis is performed in 3D and based on the boundary element method. Ansys Q3D computes the electrostatic response of a three-rail surface electrode design, while Ansys Lumerical retrieves the data from Q3D to optimize the grating coupler design that operates as an optical antenna for tightly focused laser beams.
+  For additional information, see this article:

 ## How to run the workflows
 
 All workflows are structured in the same way, with a Python script for each part of the simulation process.
