Ion-trap measurements of electric-field noise near surfaces

M Brownnutt, M Kumph, P Rabl, R Blatt - Reviews of modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Electric-field noise near surfaces is a common problem in diverse areas of physics and a
limiting factor for many precision measurements. There are multiple mechanisms by which …

Quantum synchronization of quantum van der Pol oscillators with trapped ions

TE Lee, HR Sadeghpour - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
The van der Pol oscillator is the prototypical self-sustained oscillator and has been used to
model nonlinear behavior in biological and other classical processes. We investigate how …

Quantum harmonic oscillator state synthesis by reservoir engineering

D Kienzler, HY Lo, B Keitch, L De Clercq, F Leupold… - Science, 2015 - science.org

challenge for explorations of quantum mechanics at larger scales. Using the mechanical …

Coherence and Raman sideband cooling of a single atom in an optical tweezer

JD Thompson, TG Tiecke, AS Zibrov, V Vuletić… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
We investigate quantum control of a single atom in a tightly focused optical tweezer trap. We
show that inevitable spatially varying polarization gives rise to significant internal-state …

Fifteen years of cold matter on the atom chip: promise, realizations, and prospects

M Keil, O Amit, S Zhou, D Groswasser… - Journal of modern …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Here we review the field of atom chips in the context of Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC)
as well as cold matter in general. Twenty years after the first realization of the BEC and 15 …

100-Fold Reduction of Electric-Field Noise in an Ion Trap Cleaned with In Situ <?format ?>Argon-Ion-Beam Bombardment

DA Hite, Y Colombe, AC Wilson, KR Brown, U Warring… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
Motional heating of trapped atomic ions is a major obstacle to their use as quantum bits in a
scalable quantum computer. The detailed physical origin of this heating is not well …

A scalable quantum computing platform using symmetric-top molecules
