- Abstract summary: We report the optical trapping of multiple ions localized at individual lattice sites of a one-dimensional optical lattice.
We observe a fivefold increase in robustness against axial DC-electric fields and an increase of the axial eigenfrequency by two orders of magnitude.

- Abstract: We report the optical trapping of multiple ions localized at individual
lattice sites of a one-dimensional optical lattice. We observe a fivefold
increase in robustness against axial DC-electric fields and an increase of the
axial eigenfrequency by two orders of magnitude compared to an optical dipole
trap without interference but similar intensity. Our findings motivate an
alternative pathway to extend arrays of trapped ions in size and dimension,
enabling quantum simulations with particles interacting at long range.

Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols.
Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes.
We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics.
Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
