Localized control of large ion crystals in a Penning trap using a spatial light modulator
Allison L. Carter, Jennifer F. Lilieholm, Bryce B. Bullock +3
Penning ion traps as quantum platforms have primarily utilized global control and symmetric Dicke states for quantum simulation and sensing experiments. The introduction of local c…
Optimizing Doppler laser cooling protocols for quantum sensing with 3D ion crystals in a Penning trap
John Zaris, Wes Johnson, Athreya Shankar +4
Large, 3D trapped ion crystals offer improved sensitivity in quantum sensing protocols, and are expected to be implemented as platforms in near-future experiments. However, numeric…
Quantum simulation of the Dicke model in a two-dimensional ion crystal: chaos, quantum thermalization, and revivals
Bryce Bullock, Sean R. Muleady, Jennifer F. Lilieholm +6
Quantum many-body systems driven far from equilibrium can exhibit chaos, entanglement, and non-classical correlations, yet directly observing these phenomena in large, closed quant…
Many-Body Effects in Dark-State Laser Cooling
Muhammad Miskeen Khan, David Wellnitz, Bhuvanesh Sundar +5
We develop a unified many-body theory of two-photon dark-state laser cooling, the workhorse for preparing trapped ions close to their motional quantum ground state. For ions with a…
