Number-resolved detection of dark ions in Coulomb crystals

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Trapped ions without a suitable transition for laser cooling can be sympathetically cooled by embedding them in a Coulomb crystal of laser-cooled ions of another species. The authors demonstrate a method for identifying and counting such embedded ions in real time, which can be used for precision spectroscopy and for the study of ion-neutral chemical reactions.
