Precision measurement of the lifetime of the 6p 2P_1/2 level of Yb+
S. Olmschenk, D. Hayes, D. N. Matsukevich +4
We present a precise measurement of the lifetime of the 6p 2P_1/2 excited state of a single trapped ytterbium ion (Yb+). A time-correlated single-photon counting technique is used,…
Manipulation and Detection of a Trapped Yb+ Ion Hyperfine Qubit
S. Olmschenk, K. C. Younge, D. L. Moehring +3
We demonstrate the use of trapped ytterbium ions as quantum bits for quantum information processing. We implement fast, efficient state preparation and state detection of the first…
Quantum Interference of Photon Pairs from Two Trapped Atomic Ions
P. Maunz, D. L. Moehring, M. J. Madsen +3
We collect the fluorescence from two trapped atomic ions, and measure quantum interference between photons emitted from the ions. The interference of two photons is a crucial compo…
Efficient Photoionization-Loading of Trapped Cadmium Ions with Ultrafast Pulses
L. Deslauriers, M. Acton, B. B. Blinov +16
Atomic cadmium ions are loaded into radiofrequency ion traps by photoionization of atoms in a cadmium vapor with ultrafast laser pulses. The photoionization is driven through an in…
