Hybrid systems of laser-cooled trapped ions and ultracold atoms combined in a single
experimental setup have recently emerged as a new platform for fundamental research in …

We demonstrate single-shot imaging and narrow-line cooling of individual alkaline-earth
atoms in optical tweezers; specifically, strontium trapped in 515.2-nm light. Our approach …

The control of physical systems and their dynamics on the level of individual quanta
underpins both fundamental science and quantum technologies. Trapped atomic and …

Charged microparticles confined in electrodynamic traps evolve into strongly coupled
Coulomb systems (SCCS) which are the subject of current investigation. Recent results with …

We report the trapping of ultracold neutral Rb atoms and Ba+ ions in a common optical
potential in absence of any radio frequency (rf) fields. We prepare Ba+ at 370 μ K and …

We consider a two-dimensional Wigner crystal coupled to a quasi-one-dimensional
asymmetric potential under ac or dc driving. As a function of electron density, substrate …

We propose an experimental architecture where an array of optical tweezers affords site-
dependent control over the confining potential of a conventional radio-frequency ion trap …

We explore the possible use of particle beam storage rings as quantum computers. More
precisely, we consider creating an ion trap system, in which the same computational basis …

We report the optical trapping of multiple ions localized at individual lattice sites of a one-
dimensional optical lattice. We observe a fivefold increased range of axial dc-electric field …

For conventional ion traps, the trapping potential is close to independent of the electronic
state, providing confinement for ions dependent primarily on their charge-to-mass ratio Q/m …
