Single ion spectroscopy of four metastable state clear-out transitions in Yb II: isotope shifts and hyperfine structure
N. A. Diepeveen, C. Robalo Pereira, M. Mazzanti +5
We present spectroscopic data for four metastable state clear-out transitions between 399 nm and 412 nm for all even long-lived isotopes of Yb as well as their hyperfine struct…

Alignment and Optimisation of Optical Tweezers on Trapped Ions
M. Mazzanti, C. Robalo Pereira, N. A. Diepeveen +7
This paper presents a routine to align an optical tweezer on a single trapped ion and use the ion as a probe to characterize the tweezer. We find a smallest tweezer waist of $2.3(2…

Trapped Ion Quantum Computing using Optical Tweezers and the Magnus Effect
M. Mazzanti, R. Gerritsma, R. J. C. Spreeuw +1
We consider the implementation of quantum logic gates in trapped ions using tightly focused optical tweezers. Strong polarization gradients near the tweezer focus lead to qubit-sta…
