Isolating neutral and charged particles from the environment is essential in precision
experiments. For decades, this has been achieved by trapping ions with radio-frequency …

With the advent of optical clocks featuring fractional frequency uncertainties on the order of
10− 17 and below, new applications such as chronometric leveling with few-centimeter …

We investigate the dynamics of an ion sympathetically cooled by another laser-cooled ion or
small ion crystal. To this end, we develop simple models of the cooling dynamics in the limit …

We present an ion trap with an integrated fiber cavity, designed for strong coupling at the
level of single ions and photons. The cavity is aligned to the axis of a miniature linear Paul …

We report a highly efficient loading of^ 174Yb^+ ions in a surface electrode ion trap by using
single pulses from a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser to ablate neutral atoms, combined with a two …

The production of ions via laser ablation for the loading of radiofrequency (RF) ion traps is
investigated using a nitrogen laser with a maximum pulse energy of 0.17 mJ and a peak …

In this chapter, we present an overview of experiments with trapped Rydberg ions and
outline the advantages and challenges of developing applications of this new platform for …

The Ba+ 133 ion is a promising candidate as a high-fidelity qubit, and the Ba+ 137 isotope is
promising as a high-fidelity qudit (d> 2). Barium metal is very reactive, and Ba+ 133 is …

We demonstrate loading of ions into a surface-electrode trap (SET) from a remote, laser-
cooled source of neutral atoms. We first cool and load∼ 10 6 neutral 88 Sr atoms into a …

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 …
