Long lifetimes and effective isolation of ions in optical and electrostatic traps

Optical trapping of ions with a high level of isolation from the environment is achieved, opening a path to performing ultracold interactions of ions and atoms at previously inaccessible collision energies.

A far-off-resonance optical trap for a Ba⁺ ion

Trapped ions are promising for studies of atomic and quantum physics, but their need for radiofrequency fields poses numerous technical limitations. Huber et al.present an approach using far-off-resonance optical traps, circumventing radiofrequency fields to improve on photon scattering and recoil heating.

Observation of Feshbach resonances between a single ion and ultracold atoms

Magnetically tunable interactions between lithium atoms and barium ions are used to demonstrate and probe Feshbach resonances between atoms and ions, which could have applications in the fields of experimental quantum simulation and fundamental physics.
