离子与超冷中性原子共振冷却的光阱

Optical Traps for sympathetic Cooling of Ions with ultracold neutral Atoms

J. Schmidt, P. Weckesser, F. Thielemann, T. Schaetz, L. Karpa

摘要:

我们报道了在没有任何射频场的情况下,超冷中性$ \text{Rb}$原子和$ \text{Ba}^+ $离子在一个共同的光学势中的俘获。我们以$ 370 ~ μK $制备了$ \text{Ba}^+ $,并证明了一次碰撞后$100 ~ μK $的有效交感神经冷却。我们的方法目前受到$ \text{Rb}$密度和相关三体损耗的限制,但它克服了由RF驱动的微动感应加热设置的RF陷阱的基本限制。它适用于广泛的离子-原子物种,并可能使新的超冷化学实验和复杂的多体动力学。

英文摘要:

We report the trapping of ultracold neutral $ \text{Rb}$ atoms and $ \text{Ba}^+ $ ions in a common optical potential in absence of any radiofrequency (RF) fields. We prepare $ \text{Ba}^+ $ at $ 370 ~ μK $ and demonstrate efficient sympathetic cooling by $100 ~ μK $ after one collision. Our approach is currently limited by the $ \text{Rb}$ density and related three-body losses, but it overcomes the fundamental limitation in RF traps set by RF-driven, micromotion-induced heating. It is applicable to a wide range of ion-atom species, and may enable novel ultracold chemistry experiments and complex many-body dynamics.
