• Abstract summary: electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) cooling has received attention for the relative speed, low laser power requirements, and broad cooling bandwidth. Here, we demonstrate successful EIT cooling on 25Mg+ by the addition of an extra laser frequency. This method can be applied to any ion with non-zero nuclear spin.

• Abstract: Cooling of atomic motion is a crucial tool for many branches of atomic physics, ranging from fundamental physics explorations to quantum information and sensing. For trapped ions, electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) cooling has received attention for the relative speed, low laser power requirements, and broad cooling bandwidth of the technique. However, in applications where the ion used for cooling has hyperfine structure to enable long coherence times, it is difficult to find a closed three-level system in which to perform standard EIT cooling. Here, we demonstrate successful EIT cooling on 25Mg+ by the addition of an extra laser frequency; this method can be applied to any ion with non-zero nuclear spin. Furthermore, we demonstrate simultaneous EIT cooling of all axial modes in mixed-species crystals 9Be+ - 25Mg+ and 9Be+ - 25Mg+ - 9Be+ through the 25Mg+ ion.

  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.

  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.

  Tin-vacancy center (SnV) in diamond is a promising spin-photon interface with desirable optical and spin properties at 1.7 K. We introduce a new platform that overcomes these challenges - SnV centers in uniformly strained thin diamond membranes. The presence of crystal strain suppresses temperature dependent dephasing processes, leading to a considerable improvement of the coherence time up to 223 $mu$s at 4 K.

  We experimentally demonstrate a parallel-electromagnetically-induced transparency (parallel-EIT) cooling technique for ion crystals in the Paul trap. It has less stringent requirements on the cooling resonance condition than the standard electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) cooling. A proof-of-principle validation for this cooling scheme is experimentally demonstrated with up to 4 trapped 40Ca+ ions.

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.

  We study the spin diffusion dynamics of 13C in diamond, which we dynamically polarize at room temperature via optical spin pumping of engineered color centers. We find good thermal contact throughout the nuclear spin bath, virtually independent of the hyperfine coupling strength. Our results open intriguing opportunities to study the onset of thermalization in a system by controlling the internal interactions within the bath.
