• Abstract: We investigate the control mechanism of trap frequencies and determine the orientation of ion trap principal axes. The application of DC voltage to the ground electrodes, commonly employed to finely tune trap frequencies in ion traps, leads to the rotation of the trap principal axes. Analyzing the ion matter-wave interference signal enables us to determine the directions of the trap principal axes. Both the experiments and simulations reveal an avoided-crossing behavior resulting from the coupling between the trap radial axes. Additionally, simulations indicate that symmetric trap structures lack this coupling, suggesting that trap structure asymmetry causes coupling between the axes. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into ion traps for diverse applications in quantum science and technology.

  Chirality refers to the property that an object and its mirror image cannot overlap each other by spatial rotation and translation. We here propose chiral chaos and construct a chiral chaotic device via coupled whispering gallery mode resonators. Our work presents a promising candidate for on-chip sensing and may have applications in quantum networks and chaotic communications.

  This study introduces a novel approach to sensing of the Aharonov--Bohm phase, an ion matter-wave interferometer. The ion orbitals in the potential form Lissajous curves, causing the direction of ion rotation to reverse. The sensitivity to the Aharonov--Bohm phase in this study corresponds to a rotation sensitivity of approximately 300rad/s.

  We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a large recoil velocity. The off-diagonal long-range order is directly reflected in the behavior of the interferometric signal for long interrogation times.

  Junctions are fundamental elements that support qubit locomotion in two-dimensional ion trap arrays. We propose and simulate a novel two-layer junction design incorporating two perpendicularly rotoreflected (rotated, then reflected) linear ion traps. Our novel junction layout has the potential to enhance the flexibility of microfabricated ion trap control to enable large-scale trapped-ion quantum computing.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
