• Abstract summary: We present the design and experimental demonstration of an open-endcap radio frequency trap to confine ion crystals. The central axis of the trap is kept free of obstructions to allow for site-resolved imaging of ions in the 2D crystal plane. We validate its operation by confining up to 29 ions in a 2D triangular lattice, oriented such that both in-plane principal axes of the 2D crystal lie in the radial direction.

• Abstract: We present the design and experimental demonstration of an open-endcap radio frequency trap to confine ion crystals in the radial-two dimensional (2D) structural phase. The central axis of the trap is kept free of obstructions to allow for site-resolved imaging of ions in the 2D crystal plane, and the confining potentials are provided by four segmented blade electrodes. We discuss the design challenges, fabrication techniques, and voltage requirements for implementing this open-endcap trap. Finally, we validate its operation by confining up to 29 ions in a 2D triangular lattice, oriented such that both in-plane principal axes of the 2D crystal lie in the radial direction.

We implement a design achieving a trap depth of 1 eV for a calcium-40 ion held at 200 micrometers from either electrode plane. We measure motional heating rates over an extensive range of trap frequencies, and temperatures, observing 40 phonons/s at 1 MHz and 185 K.

  We show how to implant low-energy ions into silicon devices featuring an enlarged 60x60 $mu$m sensitive area. Despite the weak internal electric field, near-unity charge collection efficiency is obtained from the entire sensitive area. This can be explained by the critical role that the high-quality thermal gate oxide plays in the ion detection response.

• Measurements of blackbody radiation-induced transition rates between high-lying S, P and D Rydberg levels [47.187609203210705]
  We report experimental measurements of the rates of blackbody radiation-induced transitions between high-lying (n>60) S, P and D Rydberg levels of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Our results reveal significant deviations of the measured transition rates from theory for well-defined ranges of the principal quantum number. We conclude that it should be possible to use such external cavities to control and suppress the blackbody radiation-induced transitions.
