摘要:

虽然通过荧光成像计数激光冷却的捕获离子是简单的,但检测嵌入混合离子晶体中并被同情冷却的暗离子的数量更具挑战性。我们展示了一种方法来跟踪暗离子的数量在实时单粒子灵敏度。这是通过观察冷却剂离子发射的荧光量的离散步骤,同时激发暗离子的长期运动共振来实现的。通过计算荧光步骤的数量,我们可以识别暗离子的数量,而无需校准,也无需依赖于运动激发的任何物理模型。我们证明了该计划通过检测H $_2^+$和H $_3^+$离子嵌入在一个线性射频陷阱的$^+$离子库仑晶体。我们的方法可以同时观察不同类型离子的产生和破坏。除了暗离子的高分辨率光谱学,另一个应用是用单粒子灵敏度实时检测化学反应。这一点在这项工作中得到了证明。

英文摘要:

While it is straightforward to count laser-cooled trapped ions by fluorescence imaging, detecting the number of dark ions embedded and sympathetically cooled in a mixed ion crystal is more challenging. We demonstrate a method to track the number of dark ions in real time with single-particle sensitivity. This is achieved by observing discrete steps in the amount of fluorescence emitted from the coolant ions while exciting secular motional resonances of dark ions. By counting the number of fluorescence steps, we can identify the number of dark ions without calibration and without relying on any physical model of the motional excitation. We demonstrate the scheme by detecting H$_2^+$ and H$_3^+$ ions embedded in a Be$^+$ ion Coulomb crystal in a linear radio frequency trap. Our method allows observing the generation and destruction of individual ions simultaneously for different types of ions. Besides high-resolution spectroscopy of dark ions, another application is the detection of chemical reactions in real time with single-particle sensitivity. This is demonstrated in this work.
