Ion traps and precision experiments (Module PAFMO187)

I am regularly offering the master course ion traps and precision experimentsExternal link, composed of a lecture and an exercise. The course is well suited for the master's programs in Physics, Photonics, and Quantum Science & Technology.

Content

  • Introduction to ion trapping
  • Penning traps
  • Cooling and detection techniques
  • g-factor and mass measurements, symmetry tests
  • Paul traps
  • Ion-light interaction, laser cooling, quantum states of motion
  • Optical frequency standards and optical clocks
  • Quantum logic spectroscopy
  • Ion traps as platform for quantum computing
