• Abstract: Excess "micromotion" of trapped ions due to the residual radio-frequency (rf) trapping field at their location is often undesirable and is usually carefully minimized. Here, we induce precise amounts of excess micromotion on individual ions by adjusting the local static electric field they experience. Micromotion modulates the coupling of an ion to laser fields, ideally tuning it from its maximum value to zero as the ion is moved away from the trap's rf null. We use tunable micromotion to vary the Rabi frequency of stimulated Raman transitions over two orders of magnitude, and to individually control the rates of resonant fluorescence from three ions under global laser illumination without any changes to the driving light fields. The technique is amenable to situations where addressing individual ions with focused laser beams is challenging, such as tightly packed linear ion strings or two-dimensional ion arrays illuminated from the side.

  We demonstrate a low-crosstalk double-side addressing system based on a pair of acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) The AODs addressing method can flexibly and parallelly address arbitrary ions between which the distance is variable in a chain. We employ two 0.4NA objective lenses in both arms of the Raman laser and obtain a beam waist of 0.95$mumathrmm$, resulting in a Rabi rate crosstalk as low as $6.32times10-4$ when the neighboring ion separation is about 5.5$mu

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