Floquet-engineered vibrational dynamics in a two-dimensional array of trapped ions

Philip Kiefer, Frederick Hakelberg, Matthias Wittemer +4

We demonstrate Floquet engineering in a basic yet scalable 2D architecture of individually trapped and controlled ions. Local parametric modulations of detuned trapping potentials…

Simulating spin-boson models with trapped ions

Andreas Lemmer, Cecilia Cormick, Dario Tamascelli +3

We propose a method to simulate the dynamics of spin-boson models with small crystals of trapped ions where the electronic degree of freedom of one ion is used to encode the spin w…
