Description
We conduct experiments on atomic ions that are confined in electromagnetic traps and laser-cooled, in some cases to the ground state of motion. Experiments employ RF (Paul) traps and Penning traps. Precision spectroscopy experiments have applications to clocks and tests of fundamental interactions. Two main project areas are (1) RF-trap-based optical spectroscopy that requires ultra-stable lasers, with application to accurate clocks; and (2) experiments devoted to studies of quantum-state engineering and entanglement with application to quantum-information processing, quantum simulation, spectroscopy, and tests of quantum mechanics.
