Isotope-Selective Laser Ablation Ion-Trap Loading of ${}^{137}{\mathrm{Ba}}^{+}$ using a ${\mathrm{BaCl}}_2$ Target

Brendan M. White, Pei Jiang Low, Yvette de Sereville +4

The ${}^{133}{\mathrm{Ba}}^{+}$ ion is a promising candidate as a high-fidelity qubit, and the ${}^{137}{\mathrm{Ba}}^{+}$ isotope is promising as a high-fidelity qudit ($d>2$). Barium metal i…
