A far-off-resonance optical trap for a Ba ion
Thomas Huber, Alexander Lambrecht, Julian Schmidt +2
Optical trapping and ions combine unique advantages of independently striving fields of research. Light fields can form versatile potential landscapes, such as optical lattices, fo…
Single ions trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice
Martin Enderlein, Thomas Huber, Christian Schneider +1
We report on three-dimensional optical trapping of single ions in an optical lattice formed by two counter-propagating laser beams. We characterize the trapping parameters of the s…
Influence of static electric fields on an optical ion trap
Christian Schneider, Martin Enderlein, Thomas Huber +2
We recently reported on a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating optical trapping of an ion in a single-beam dipole trap superimposed by a static electric potential [Nat. Phot…
Experimental simulation and limitations of quantum walks with trapped ions
Robert Matjeschk, Christian Schneider, Martin Enderlein +4
We examine the prospects of discrete quantum walks (QWs) with trapped ions. In particular, we analyze in detail the limitations of the protocol of Travaglione and Milburn (PRA 2002…
Optical Trapping of an Ion
Ch. Schneider, M. Enderlein, T. Huber +1
For several decades, ions have been trapped by radio frequency (RF) and neutral particles by optical fields. We implement the experimental proof-of-principle for trapping an ion in…
Quantum walk of a trapped ion in phase space
H. Schmitz, R. Matjeschk, Ch. Schneider +4
We implement the proof of principle for the quantum walk of one ion in a linear ion trap. With a single-step fidelity exceeding 0.99, we perform three steps of an asymmetric walk o…
