Heating of a trapped ion induced by dielectric materials
Markus Teller, Dario A. Fioretto, Philip C. Holz +8
Electric-field noise due to surfaces disturbs the motion of nearby trapped ions, compromising the fidelity of gate operations that are the basis for quantum computing algorithms. W…

Probing surface charge densities on optical fibers with a trapped ion
Florian R. Ong, Klemens Schüppert, Pierre Jobez +8
We describe a novel method to measure the surface charge densities on optical fibers placed in the vicinity of a trapped ion, where the ion itself acts as the probe. Surface charge…
