Trapping Single Ions and Coulomb Crystals with Light Fields
arXiv:1910.00360 · doi:10.1007/978-3-030-27716-1
Abstract
The scope of this book is on providing insight into the recently emerged field of optical trapping of ions. Since the ground-breaking introduction of light fields as tools for exerting trapping forces on matter in 1970 by Ashkin, optical dipole traps have enabled an unprecedented level of control over neutral atoms and molecules both at the level of quantum ensembles as well as individual particles. It was found recently that in some situations it is highly advantageous to confine atomic and molecular ions without employing any radiofrequency-based Paul traps or strong external magnetic fields as used in Penning traps, e.g. when investigating the interaction of neutral atoms and ions in the regime of ultralow interaction energies. Adapting optical traps for ions is a promising way to approach such scenarios and the focus of this work is to present a comprehensive overview of the background and concepts behind this technique as well as to discuss the currently achievable level of control, encountered limitations and perspectives for future applications.
