Minimization of micromotion for nanoparticles in a Paul trap
Jamie Morley, Jean Paul Louys Sansó, Dmitry Bykov +2
When a charged particle in a Paul trap is displaced from the node of the AC trapping field, excess micromotion arises as an undesired effect. Excess micromotion heats the particle,…

Quantum theory of electrically levitated nanoparticle-ion systems: Motional dynamics and sympathetic cooling
Saurabh Gupta, Bernard Faulend, Dmitry S. Bykov +2
We develop the theory describing the quantum coupled dynamics of the center-of-mass motion of a nanoparticle and an ensemble of ions co-trapped in a dual-frequency linear Paul trap…

A nanoparticle stored with an atomic ion in a linear Paul trap
Dmitry S. Bykov, Lorenzo Dania, Florian Goschin +1
Radiofrequency (RF) traps enable highly controlled interactions between charged particles, including reactions between cold molecular ions, sympathetic cooling of one ion species w…
