Abstract: In this work, we present the design, implementation, and construction of a linear Paul trap in a blade configuration. The trap was optimized to minimize micromotion and enable the formation of linear ion chains comprising tens of ions. We use ytterbium atoms, and in particular, we describe the trapping and cooling of the isotopes $^{174} \mathrm{Yb}^+$ and $^{171} \mathrm{Yb}^+$, starting from an isotope-selective ionization process based on laser frequency stabilization and optimization of fluorescence for each isotope. The electronic control system-including magnetic field generation, laser delivery, and microwave driving-was fully implemented and is described in detail. The system supports pulsed operation, and we performed Rabi oscillations of the hyperfine states in the $^2 \mathrm{S}_{1/2}$ level, demonstrating coherent spectroscopy. These capabilities are fundamental tools for the experiments we aim to pursue, including the use of structured light beams, quantum simulation protocols, and the generation of non-classical motional states.

Microgram $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$ Ablation Targets for Trapped Ion Experiments [0.0]
We describe a new method for creating barium chloride ($mathrmBaCl$) ablation targets for use in trapped ion experiments. We show that heat-treatment of the ablation targets greatly increases the consistency at which neutral atoms can be produced. Our comparison between fabrication techniques and demonstration of consistent neutral fluorescence paves a path towards reliable loading of $133mathrmBa+$ in surface traps.

Transient fluorescence with a single trapped ion [0.0]
We present a method to measure transient fluorescent dynamics with single trapped ions in a Paul trap. By measuring the scattered photons of the ion, we retrieve transient curves of the atomic fluorescence. Being able to record time dependent fluorescence is of particular interest as it contains information about the temperature, cooling and heating dynamics of the ion.

Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

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.

Scheme operates with laser and cavity fields detuned from the atomic transition by much more than the excited-state hyperfine splitting. This enables reduction of the dynamics to that of a simple, cavity-damped Tavis-Cummings model with the collective spin determined by the total angular momentum of the ground hyperfine level.
