Abstract summary: We present a method to measure transient fluorescent dynamics with single trapped ions in a Paul trap. By measuring the scattered photons of the ion, we retrieve transient curves of the atomic fluorescence. Being able to record time dependent fluorescence is of particular interest as it contains information about the temperature, cooling and heating dynamics of the ion.

Abstract: In this paper we present a method to measure transient fluorescent dynamics with single trapped ions in a Paul trap. We use $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ions which exhibit a $\Lambda$-type three-level system and measure the characteristic optical pumping times between the ground $S_{1/2}$ and the meta-stable $D_{3/2}$ levels. We prepare one of these states, then pump it to the opposite via the excited $P_{1/2}$ state. By measuring the scattered photons of the ion, we retrieve transient curves of the atomic fluorescence. These curves provide fundamental information about the atomic system, such as branching fractions and excited-state lifetimes, as well as experimental parameters like the efficiency of the detection system and the saturation parameter of one of the transitions. Finally, we study the time dependent fluorescence as a function of optical power and detuning of the lasers and find a very good agreement with simulating the dynamics via a three-level open quantum system through a set of optical Bloch equations. Being able to record time dependent fluorescence is of particular interest as it contains information about the temperature, cooling and heating dynamics of the ion.

Integrated Quantum Optical Phase Sensor [48.7576911714538]
We present a photonic integrated circuit fabricated in thin-film lithium niobate. We use the second-order nonlinearity to produce a squeezed state at the same frequency as the pump light and realize circuit control and sensing with electro-optics. We anticipate that on-chip photonic systems like this, which operate with low power and integrate all of the needed functionality on a single die, will open new opportunities for quantum optical sensing.

Quantum-limited millimeter wave to optical transduction [50.663540427505616]
Long distance transmission of quantum information is a central ingredient of distributed quantum information processors. Current approaches to transduction employ solid state links between electrical and optical domains. We demonstrate quantum-limited transduction of millimeter-wave (mmwave) photons into optical photons using cold $85$Rb atoms as the transducer.

Visualizing spinon Fermi surfaces with time-dependent spectroscopy [62.997667081978825]
We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

Algorithmic Ground-state Cooling of Weakly-Coupled Oscillators using Quantum Logic [52.77024349608834]
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.

We present the explicit dependence of excitation rates on critical parameters.
