Long-lived metastable states in the 4f5d6s configuration of Yb
Z. E. D. Ackerman, A. Cadarso Quevedo, Ilango Maran +4
We study the occurrence of long-lived metastable states in the 4f5d6s electron configuration of Yb. By optical pumping of a single trapped ion on the $^2F^\text{o}_{7/2}…
Direct observation of the optical Magnus effect with a trapped ion
Philip Leindecker, Louis P. H. Gallagher, Edgar Brucke +7
We directly observe and spatially map an optical analog of the Magnus effect, where intrinsic spin-orbit-like coupling of light generates a spin-dependent transverse displacement o…
Non-paraxial effects on laser-qubit operations
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
Tightly-focused laser beams, or optical tweezers, are essential for analogue and digital quantum simulation with neutral atoms and trapped ions. Despite this, most of the current i…
Single ion spectroscopy of four metastable state clear-out transitions in Yb II: isotope shifts and hyperfine structure
N. A. Diepeveen, C. Robalo Pereira, M. Mazzanti +5
We present spectroscopic data for four metastable state clear-out transitions between 399 nm and 412 nm for all even long-lived isotopes of Yb as well as their hyperfine struct…
Trapped Ion Quantum Computing using Optical Tweezers and the Magnus Effect
M. Mazzanti, R. Gerritsma, R. J. C. Spreeuw +1
We consider the implementation of quantum logic gates in trapped ions using tightly focused optical tweezers. Strong polarization gradients near the tweezer focus lead to qubit-sta…
Two-dimensional array of microtraps with atomic shift register on a chip
S. Whitlock, R. Gerritsma, T. Fernholz +1
Arrays of trapped atoms are the ideal starting point for developing registers comprising large numbers of physical qubits for storing and processing quantum information. One very p…
