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…

Decoupling of the STIRAP and Microwave-Dressing paths in Trapped Rydberg Ion Gates
K. N. Zlatanov, M. Mallweger, M. Hennrich +1
The strong dipole-dipole interaction of trapped Rydberg ions offers the possibility of sub-microsecond entanglement gates. For example a two-qubit Control-Phase gate in 88 Sr + ion…

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.…
