• Abstract: Ion transport is an essential operation in some models of quantum information processing, where fast ion shuttling with minimal motional excitation is necessary for efficient, high-fidelity quantum logic. While fast and cold ion shuttling has been demonstrated, the dynamics and specific trajectory of an ion during diabatic transport have not been studied in detail. Here we describe a position-dependent optical deshelving technique useful for sampling an ion's position throughout its trajectory, and we demonstrate the technique on fast linear transport of a $^{40}\text{Ca}^+$ ion in a surface-electrode ion trap. At high speed, the trap's electrode filters strongly distort the transport potential waveform. With this technique, we observe deviations from the intended constant-velocity (100 m/s) transport: we measure an average speed of 83(2) m/s and a peak speed of 251(6) m/s over a distance of 120 $\mu$m

  We use a single ion to map the optical potential landscape over many periods of the standing-wave field. We observe a state-dependent trap-frequency shift of $2pitimes 3.33(4)$ kHz, corresponding to a bare optical potential of $2pitimes 76.8(5)$ kHz for the electronic ground state.

  The quasiparticle method has achieved a great success in solid state electronics and crystal lattice vibration. A general recipe is put forward to map the classical solid state ion system together with the short-range ion-ion repulsion to a quasiparticle quantum system. The derived ionic eigen-states and transport can naturally incorporate the concerted behavior.

  Trapped-ion quantum information processing may benefit from qubits encoded in isotopes that are practically available in only small quantities. Laser ablation provides a method of controllably liberating neutral atoms or ions from low-volume targets. Here we investigate ablation-based ion loading into surface-electrode traps of different sizes to test a model describing ion loading probability.

  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.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. 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.
