Precision spectroscopy of a trapped Yb ion using a bath of ultracold atoms
Egor Kovlakov, Rene Gerritsma
We demonstrate precision laser spectroscopy of a trapped Yb ion that is not directly laser cooled by coupling it to ultracold atoms. The atomic bath continuously cools…
Operation of a Microfabricated Planar Ion-Trap for Studies of a Yb-Rb Hybrid Quantum System
Abasalt Bahrami, Matthias Müller, Martin Drechsler +3
In order to study interactions of atomic ions with ultracold neutral atoms, it is important to have sub-m control over positioning ion crystals. Serving for this purpose, we int…
Dynamics of a single ion spin impurity in a spin-polarized atomic bath
Henning Fürst, Thomas Feldker, Norman Vincenz Ewald +3
We report on observations of spin dynamics in single Yb ions immersed in a cold cloud of spin-polarized Li atoms. This species combination has been proposed to be the most…
Spectroscopy of the transition in Yb II: Isotope shifts, hyperfine splitting and branching ratios
Thomas Feldker, Henning Fürst, Norman Ewald +2
We report on spectroscopic results on the transition in single trapped Yb ions. We measure the isotope shifts for all stable Yb isotopes…
