• Abstract: We present a method for achieving high fidelity state preparation and measurement (SPAM) using trapped ion hyperfine qubits with nuclear spins higher than $I = 1/2$. The ground states of these higher nuclear spin isotopes do not afford a simple frequency-selective state preparation scheme. We circumvent this limitation by stroboscopically driving strong and weak transitions, blending fast optical pumping using dipole transitions and narrow microwave or optical quadrupole transitions. We demonstrate this method with the $I=3/2$ isotope $^{137}\mbox{Ba}^+$ to achieve a SPAM infidelity of $\left(9.0 \pm 1.3\right) \times 10^{-5}$ ($-40.5 \pm 0.6$ dB), facilitating the use of a wider range of ion isotopes with favorable wavelengths and masses for quantum computation.

  Quantum state preparation for trapped-ion qubits often relies on high-quality circularly-polarised light. We propose and implement a hybrid optical/microwave scheme for intermediate-field hyperfine qubits. We find that the fidelity remains above $99.8%$ for a mixture of all polarisations.

  We describe a new method for creating barium chloride ($mathrmBaCl$) ablation targets for use in trapped ion experiments. We show that heat-treatment of the ablation targets greatly increases the consistency at which neutral atoms can be produced. Our comparison between fabrication techniques and demonstration of consistent neutral fluorescence paves a path towards reliable loading of $133mathrmBa+$ in surface traps.

  We investigate the production of all-optical $39$K Bose-Einstein condensates with different scattering lengths using a Feshbach resonance near $33$ G. We are able to produce fully condensed ensembles with $5.8times104$ atoms within $850$ ms evaporation time at a scattering length of $232. Based on our findings we describe routes towards high-flux sources of ultra-cold potassium for inertial sensing.

• Weak dissipation for high fidelity qubit state preparation and measurement [0.0]
  We show a total qubit state preparation and measurement (SPAM) inaccuracy $epsilon_mathrmSPAM 1.7 times 10-4$ ($-38 mbox dB$) We show experimentally that full transfer would yield an inaccuracy less than $8.0 times 10-5$ ($-41 mbox dB$) Since this technique allows fluorescence collection for effectively unlimited periods, high fidelity qubit SPAM is achievable even with limited optical access and low quantum efficiency.

We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

• Anisotropy-mediated reentrant localization [62.997667081978825]
  We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
