Algorithmic Ground-State Cooling of Weakly Coupled Oscillators Using Quantum Logic
Algorithmic Ground-State Cooling of Weakly Coupled Oscillators Using Quantum Logic
Most ions lack the fast, cycling transitions that are necessary for direct laser cooling. In most cases, they can still be cooled sympathetically through their Coulomb interaction with a second, coolable ion species confined in the same potential. If the charge-to-mass ratios of the two ion types are too mismatched, …
