• Abstract: The comparison of vibrational transition frequencies of $\mathrm{H}_2^+$ and $\overline{\mathrm{H}}_2^-$ offers a new opportunity to test CPT invariance. Myers [Phys. Rev. A 98, 010101(R) (2018)] proposed performing laser spectroscopy in a Penning trap (PT) with non-destructive read-out. Here, we provide an extensive analysis of this proposal, introduce novel aspects, and discuss its implementation in PTs that incorporate either the continuous Stern-Gerlach effect or quantum-logic spectroscopy. We derive estimates for the achievable accuracy of the test. We find that a comparison of the vibrational frequencies at a fractional level of $1\times10^{-17}$ is a realistic prospect, using technology that is mostly already available. We also analyze complementary CPT invariance tests, namely those of the g-factor of the bound electron/positron via electron-spin-resonance spectroscopy and of the magnetic moment of the proton/antiproton via radiofrequency spectroscopy.

We extend our simulations to the eight-level manifold of the $2F_7/2$ state, which is highly sensitive to a possible violation of LLI.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
