Abstract |
Quantum logic spectroscopy is a powerful tool for high-precision spectroscopy
of ion species that lack cycling transitions for state preparation, readout,
and laser cooling. It enables full control of the `spectroscopy ion' through a
co-trapped, well-controlled `logic ion' and quantum logic operations between
the two. Quantum logic spectroscopy powers one of the most precise atomic
clocks and has been recently implemented for molecular ions and highly-charged
atomic ions. I will give an introduction to quantum logic spectroscopy and
describe recent experiments of its implementation with molecular ions. I will
then describe how we plan to implement quantum logic spectroscopy for the
hydrogen molecular ion at ETH Zurich and present the status of the
experimental setup. |
