• Abstract: Coulomb crystals, ordered structures of cold ions confined in ion traps, find applications in a variety of research fields. The number and temperature of the ions forming the Coulomb crystals are two key attributes of interest in many trapped-ion experiments. Here, we present a fast and accurate approach of determining these attributes from fluorescence images of the ions based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this approach, we first generate a large number of images of Coulomb crystals with different ion numbers and temperatures using molecular-dynamics simulations and then train CNN models on these images to classify the desired attributes. The classification performance of several common pre-trained CNN models was compared in example tasks. We find that for crystals with ion numbers in the range 100-299 and secular temperatures of 5-15 mK, the best-performing model can discern number variations on the level of one ion with an accuracy of 93% and temperature variations by 1 mK with an accuracy of 92%. Since the trained model can be directly integrated into experiments, in-situ determination of these attributes can be realized in a non-invasive fashion, which has the potential to greatly facilitate the analysis and control of trapped ions in real time.

  We propose an approach for the quick and reliable screening of ionic conductors through the analysis of a universal interatomic potential. Eight out of the ten highest-ranked materials are confirmed to be superionic at room temperature in first-principles calculations. Our method achieves a speed-up factor of approximately 50 compared to molecular dynamics driven by a machine-learning potential, and is at least 3,000 times faster compared to first-principles molecular dynamics.

In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.
