Efficient fluorescence collection and ion imaging with the "tack" ion trap

G. Shu, C. -K. Chou, N. Kurz +2

Trapped, laser-cooled ions produce intense fluorescence. Detecting this fluorescence enables efficient measurement of quantum state of qubits based on trapped atoms. It is desirabl…

Adiabatic passage in the presence of noise

T. Noel, M. R. Dietrich, N. Kurz +3

We report on an experimental investigation of rapid adiabatic passage (RAP) in a trapped barium ion system. RAP is implemented on the transition from the ground state to…

Measurement of Lande g factor of 5D5/2 state of BaII with a single trapped ion

N. Kurz, M. R. Dietrich, Gang Shu +2

We present the first terrestrial measurement of the Lande g factor of the 5D5/2 state of singly ionized barium. Measurements were performed on single Doppler-cooled 138Ba+ ions in…

Precision measurement of the branching ratio in the 6P3/2 decay of BaII with a single trapped ion

N. Kurz, M. R. Dietrich, Gang Shu +4

We present a measurement of the branching ratios from the 6P3/2 state of BaII into all dipoleallowed decay channels (6S1/2, 5D3/2 and 5D5/2). Measurements were performed on single…
