Trapping, Shaping and Isolating of Ion Coulomb Crystals via State-selective Optical Potentials
Pascal Weckesser, Fabian Thielemann, Daniel Hoenig +3
For conventional ion traps, the trapping potential is close to independent of the electronic state, providing confinement for ions dependent primarily on their charge-to-mass ratio…
Optical trapping of ion Coulomb crystals
Julian Schmidt, Alexander Lambrecht, Pascal Weckesser +3
The electronic and motional degrees of freedom of trapped ions can be controlled and coherently coupled on the level of individual quanta. Assembling complex quantum systems ion by…
Long lifetimes in optical ion traps
Alexander Lambrecht, Julian Schmidt, Pascal Weckesser +3
We report on single Barium ions confined in a near-infrared optical dipole trap for up to three seconds in absence of any radio-frequency fields. Additionally, the lifetime in a vi…
A far-off-resonance optical trap for a Ba ion
Thomas Huber, Alexander Lambrecht, Julian Schmidt +2
Optical trapping and ions combine unique advantages of independently striving fields of research. Light fields can form versatile potential landscapes, such as optical lattices, fo…
Driving quantized vortices with quantum vacuum fluctuations
François Impens, Ana M. Contreras-Reyes, Paulo A. Maia Neto +4
We propose to use a rotating corrugated material plate in order to stir, through the Casimir-Polder interaction, quantized vortices in an harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condens…
