- Abstract: We study heating of motional modes of a single ion and of extended ion
crystals trapped in a linear radio frequency (rf) Paul trap with a precision of
$\Delta \dot{\bar{n}} \approx 0.2 $ phonons s$^{-1}$. Single-ion axial and
radial heating rates are consistent and electric field noise has been stable
over the course of four years. At a secular frequency of
$\omega_\mathrm{sec}=2\pi\times620$ kHz, we measure $\dot{\bar{n}} = 0.56(6)$
phonons s$^{-1}$ per ion for the center-of-mass (com) mode of linear chains of
up to eleven ions and observe no significant heating of the out-of-phase (oop)
modes. By displacing the ions away from the nodal line, inducing excess
micromotion, rf noise heats the com mode quadratically as a function of radial
displacement $r$ by $\dot{\bar{n}}(r)/ r^2 = 0.89(4)$ phonons s$^{-1}$
$\mu$m$^{-2}$ per ion, while the oop modes are protected from rf-noise induced
heating in linear chains. By changing the quality factor of the resonant rf
circuit from $Q=542$ to $Q=204$, we observe an increase of rf noise by a factor
of up to 3. We show that the rf-noise induced heating of motional modes of
extended crystals also depends on the symmetry of the crystal and of the mode
itself. As an example, we consider several 2D and 3D crystal configurations.
Heating rates of up to 500 phonons s$^{-1}$ are observed for individual modes,
giving rise to a total kinetic energy increase and thus a fractional time
dilation shift of up to $-0.3\times 10^{-18}$ s$^{-1}$ of the total system. In
addition, we detail on how the excitation probability of the individual ions is
reduced and decoherence is increased due to the Debye-Waller effect.

We experimentally investigate double electromagnetically induced transparency (double-EIT) cooling of two-dimensional ion crystals confined in a Paul trap.
The double-EIT groundstate cooling is observed for Yb ions with clock state, for which EIT cooling has not been realized like many other ions with a simple $Lambda$-scheme.
This method can be extended to other hyperfine qubits, and near ground-state cooling of stationary 2D crystals with large numbers of ions may advance the field of quantum information sciences.
