• Abstract summary: EIT cooling of atoms or ions with a complex ground-state structure is challenging due to the lack of an isolated $Lambda$ system. We overcome this issue by leveraging an EIT pumping laser to repopulate the cooling subspace. Our approach can be adapted to atomic species possessing similar level structures.

• Abstract: We report the electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) cooling of $^{137}\mathrm{Ba}^{+}$ ions with a nuclear spin of $I=3/2$, which are a good candidate of qubits for future large-scale trapped ion quantum computing. EIT cooling of atoms or ions with a complex ground-state level structure is challenging due to the lack of an isolated $\Lambda$ system, as the population can escape from the $\Lambda$ system to reduce the cooling efficiency. We overcome this issue by leveraging an EIT pumping laser to repopulate the cooling subspace, ensuring continuous and effective EIT cooling. We cool the two radial modes of a single $^{137}\mathrm{Ba}^{+}$ ion to average motional occupations of 0.08(5) and 0.15(7) respectively. Using the same laser parameters, we also cool all the ten radial modes of a five-ion chain to near their ground states. Our approach can be adapted to atomic species possessing similar level structures. It allows engineering of the EIT Fano-like spectrum, which can be useful for simultaneous cooling of modes across a wide frequency range, aiding in large-scale trapped-ion quantum information processing.

• Rapid Exchange Cooling with Trapped Ions [0.0]
  A quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) is a leading candidate for advanced quantum information processing. Here, we demonstrate a different approach we call exchange cooling. Unlike sympathetic cooling, exchange cooling does not require trapping two different atomic species. This approach validates the feasibility of a single-species QCCD processor, capable of fast quantum simulation and computation.

• Indirect Cooling of Weakly Coupled Trapped-Ion Mechanical Oscillators [0.0]
  Cooling the motion of trapped ions to near the quantum ground state is crucial for many applications in quantum information processing. We overcome this challenge by coupling a mode with weak cooling radiation interaction to one with strong cooling radiation interaction. We demonstrate near-ground-state cooling of motional modes with weak or zero cooling radiation interaction in multi-ion crystals of the same and mixed ion species.

  We investigate the production of all-optical $39$K Bose-Einstein condensates with different scattering lengths using a Feshbach resonance near $33$ G.

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.

• Robust dynamical exchange cooling with trapped ions [0.0]
  We investigate theoretically the possibility for robust and fast cooling of a trapped atomic ion by transient interaction with a pre-cooled ion. The transient coupling is achieved through dynamical control of the ions' equilibrium positions. For settings appropriate to a currently operational trap in our laboratory, we find that robust performance could be achieved down to $6.3$ motional cycles.
