• Abstract summary: We investigate sideband spectroscopy of a trapped ion using a probe laser phase modulated at the trap drive frequency. The enhanced sensitivity of our technique over traditional sideband spectroscopy allows us to detect stray fields of $0.01,mathrmV/m$ on a timescale of a few minutes.

• Abstract: We investigate sideband spectroscopy of a trapped ion using a probe laser phase modulated at the trap drive frequency. The enhanced sensitivity of our technique over traditional sideband spectroscopy allows us to detect stray fields of $0.01\,\mathrm{V/m}$ on a timescale of a few minutes and detect differential phases of $5\,\mu\mathrm{rad}$ between applied ac potentials. We also demonstrate the ability suppress Doppler shifts from excess motion to well below the limit imposed by the intrinsic motion of the ion in the vibrational ground-state. The technique we introduce can be readily implemented in any ion trap system that utilizes sideband spectroscopy for micromotion compensation and can be seamlessly integrated into experiments in a fully automated way

  Quantum simulation and metrology with atoms, ions, and molecules often rely on using light fields to manipulate their internal states. absorbed momentum from the light fields can induce spin-orbit coupling and associated motional-induced (Doppler) dephasing. We experimentally demonstrate the suppression of Doppler dephasing on a strontium optical clock transition by enabling atomic interactions through a shared mode.

  We present an optomechanical system for in-situ tuning of the coherent spin-motion and spin-spin interaction strength. We characterize the system using measurements of the induced mean-field spin precession. These experiments show approximately a $times2$ variation in the ratio of the coherent to incoherent interaction strength.

  The Lamb shift of a quantum emitter very close to a plasmonic nanostructure can be three or more orders of magnitude larger than that in the free space. We propose an optical localization and polarization microscopy scheme with sub-nanometer precision for a quantum emitter via detecting the scattering spectrum instead of fluorescence.
