Figure 1: Schematic of the setup and the optical ion-trapping sequence. Figure 2: Optical trapping probability in dependence on the total trap depth U tot. We present a novel method for stray electric ...

The manipulation of single atoms and ions using light and electric fields is one of the defining features of modern science. These tools have given researchers a way to play with the building blocks ...

Quantum spin models are a paradigm for the study of intriguing many-body effects such as quantum phase transitions 7, but many problems remain unresolved due to their complexity. It has been shown ...
