- Abstract: We are using optical- and microwave-fields to excite Rydberg states in trapped cold 40Ca+ ions. We employ a single ion and observe spectroscopically in the manifold of a principal quantum number n=49 the dressing of Rydberg states of angular momentum states S and P. We compare our experimental spectra with a multi-level calculation of dressed states and find good agreement. The results are important for controlling the interaction of single ions in Rydberg states with electric fields of the ion trap, and for tailoring the interactions in an ion crystal in Rydberg states.

Long-range ion-Rydberg molecules can be divided into two families of states, which are characterised by their unique electronic structures.
We predict that in both cases these diatomic molecular states can bind additional ground state atoms lying within the orbit of the Rydberg electron.
The predicted trimer binding energies and excitation series are distinct enough to be observed using current experimental techniques.
