Rydberg state engineering of trapped ions
Robin Thomm, Vinay Shankar, Natalia Kuk +3
Microwave dressing of Rydberg ions creates tunable eigenstates with controllable polarizability and interaction strength, but coherent navigation between these states has remained…
Probing electronic state-dependent conformational changes in a trapped Rydberg ion Wigner crystal
Marion Mallweger, Natalia Kuk, Vinay Shankar +6
State-dependent conformational changes play a central role in molecular dynamics, yet they are often difficult to observe or simulate due to their complexity and ultrafast nature.…
Phononic bright and dark states: Investigating multi-mode light-matter interactions with a single trapped ion
Harry Parke, Robin Thomm, Alan C. Santos +8
Interference underpins some of the most practical and impactful properties of both the classical and quantum worlds. In this work we experimentally investigate a new formalism to d…
Motional state analysis of a trapped ion by ultra-narrowband composite pulses
Marion Mallweger, Milena Guevara-Bertsch, Boyan T. Torosov +7
In this work, we present a method for measuring the motional state of a two-level system coupled to a harmonic oscillator. Our technique uses ultra-narrowband composite pulses on t…
