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…

Quantum simulation of the Dicke model in a two-dimensional ion crystal

Bryce Bullock, Sean R. Muleady, Jennifer F. Lilieholm +6

Quantum many-body systems driven far from equilibrium can exhibit phase transitions, chaos and entanglement, but probing these phenomena in large, nearly closed systems remains cha…

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…

Many-Body Effects in Dark-State Laser Cooling

Muhammad Miskeen Khan, David Wellnitz, Bhuvanesh Sundar +6

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…

Generating Einstein$\unicode{x2013}$Podolsky$\unicode{x2013}$Rosen correlations for teleporting collective spin states in a two dimensional trapped ion crystal

Muhammad Miskeen Khan, Edwin Chaparro, Bhuvanesh Sundar +4

We propose the use of phonon$\unicode{x2013}$mediated interactions as an entanglement resource to engineer Einstein$\unicode{x2013}$Podolsky$\unicode{x2013}$Rosen (EPR) correlation…

Rapid cooling of the in-plane motion of two-dimensional ion crystals in a Penning trap to millikelvin temperatures

Wes Johnson, Athreya Shankar, John Zaris +2

We propose a highly feasible technique with no experimental overhead to rapidly cool the in-plane degrees of freedom of large two-dimensional ion crystals in Penning traps. Through…

Phase-coherent sensing of the center-of-mass motion of trapped-ion crystals

M. Affolter, K. A. Gilmore, J. E. Jordan +1

Trapped ions are sensitive detectors of weak forces and electric fields that excite ion motion. Here measurements of the center-of-mass motion of a trapped-ion crystal that are pha…
