• Title: Condensation phenomena of ions in an electrostatic logarithmic trap
• Authors: Loris Ferrari,
• Abstract summary: Collapse of ions in radially localized states, about the axial cathode, is shown to cause an abrupt transition from non degeneration to strong degeneration. This transition could actually involve both Bosons and Fermions and is not to be confused with a Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) This is because the ion-ion emphexchange interactions increase the kinetic energy along the axial cathode, which makes the Fermi level and the non degeneration threshold temperature increase accordingly.

• Abstract: The effects of an electrostatic logarithmic trap (ELT) on an ionic gas confined in a cylindric chamber are studied in detail, with special reference to the effects of the ion-ion Coulombic interactions and the resulting low-temperature thermodynamics. The collapse of the ions in radially localized states, about the axial cathode, is shown to cause an abrupt (but not critical) transition from non degeneration to strong degeneration, at a special temperature $T_c$. This transition could actually involve both Bosons and Fermions and is not to be confused with a Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), which is excluded in principle. However, while for Bosons the resulting effects on the pressure are observable in the ultra high vacuum (UHV) regime, the Fermions' density should fall well below UHV, for the pressure change to be observable. This is because the ion-ion \emph{exchange} interactions increase the kinetic energy along the axial cathode, which makes the Fermi level and the non degeneration threshold temperature increase accordingly.

  Control of the external degree of freedom of trapped molecular ions is a prerequisite for their promising applications to spectroscopy, precision measurements of fundamental constants, and quantum information technology. We demonstrate near ground-state cooling of the axial motional modes of a calcium mono-oxide ion via sympathetic sideband cooling with a co-trapped calcium ion.

  We propose a dissipative method for preparation of a maximally entangled steady state of two trapped ions in the Lamb-Dicke limit. We obtain an effective coupling between two particles, which is independent of the phonon-number fluctuations. Our result shows that the CHSH inequality can be violated for a wide range of decoherence parameters, even at finite temperature.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. 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 propose a quantum tunneling-based model for emphanisis where decoherence is responsible for the local symmetry breaking with increasing temperature.
