Efficient sympathetic motional-ground-state cooling of a molecular ion
Efficient sympathetic motional-ground-state cooling of a molecular ion
Cold molecular ions are promising candidates in various fields ranging from precision spectroscopy and test of fundamental physics to ultracold chemistry. Control of internal and external degrees of freedom is a prerequisite for many of these applications. Motional-ground-state cooling represents the starting point for quantum logic-assisted internal state preparation, detection, …
