Sub-Doppler cooling of trapped ions using optical tweezers
Bas Gerritsen, Liam J. Bond, Jiri Minář +3
We propose a sub-Doppler cooling scheme for trapped-ion crystals in Paul traps. The combination of a hollow tweezer and microwave drive creates an effective two-level system which…
Long-lived metastable states in the 4f5d6s configuration of Yb
Z. E. D. Ackerman, A. Cadarso Quevedo, Ilango Maran +4
We study the occurrence of long-lived metastable states in the 4f5d6s electron configuration of Yb. By optical pumping of a single trapped ion on the $^2F^\text{o}_{7/2}…
Quadratic spin-phonon coupling and bipolarons in trapped ions
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
We consider the quantum simulation of quadratic spin-phonon coupling in a crystal of trapped ions. The coupling is implemented using tightly focused optical tweezers on each ion th…
Non-paraxial effects on laser-qubit operations
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
Tightly-focused laser beams, or optical tweezers, are essential for analogue and digital quantum simulation with neutral atoms and trapped ions. Despite this, most of the current i…
Trapped Ion Quantum Computing using Optical Tweezers and the Magnus Effect
M. Mazzanti, R. Gerritsma, R. J. C. Spreeuw +1
We consider the implementation of quantum logic gates in trapped ions using tightly focused optical tweezers. Strong polarization gradients near the tweezer focus lead to qubit-sta…
Trapping of Rydberg Atoms in Tight Magnetic Microtraps
A. G. Boetes, R. V. Skannrup, J. B. Naber +2
We explore the possibility to trap Rydberg atoms in tightly confining magnetic microtraps. The trapping frequencies for Rydberg atoms are expected to be influenced strongly by magn…
