Optical stimulated-Raman sideband spectroscopy of a single ${}^9$Be${}^{+}$ ion in a Penning trap

Abstract

We demonstrate optical sideband spectroscopy of a single ${}^9$Be${}^{+}$ ion in a cryogenic 5 Tesla Penning trap using two-photon stimulated-Raman transitions between the two Zeeman sublevels of the $1s^{2}2s$ ground state manifold. By applying two complementary coupling schemes, we accurately measure Raman resonances with and without contributions from motional sidebands. From the latter we obtain an axial sideband spectrum with an effective mode temperature of (3.1 $\pm$ 0.4)~mK. This results are a key step for quantum logic operations in Pennings traps, applicable to high precision matter-antimatter comparisons tests in the baryonic sector of the standard model.
