combination of species has recently been proposed as the most suitable for reaching the …

Dynamics of a trapped ion in a quantum gas: effects of particle statistics

L Oghittu, M Johannsen, A Negretti, R Gerritsma - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
We study the quantum dynamics of an ion confined in a radio-frequency trap in interaction
with either a Bose or spin-polarized Fermi gas. To this end, we derive quantum optical …

gaining increasing interest due to their wide research application ranging from chemistry at …

Cooling dynamics of a single trapped ion via elastic collisions with small-mass atoms

S Haze, M Sasakawa, R Saito, R Nakai… - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We demonstrated sympathetic cooling of a single ion in a buffer gas of ultracold atoms with
small mass. Efficient collisional cooling was realized by suppressing collision-induced …

A versatile apparatus for simultaneous trapping of multiple species of ultracold atoms and ions to enable studies of low energy collisions and cold chemistry

B Rahaman, S Baidya, S Dutta - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
We describe an apparatus where many species of ultracold atoms can be simultaneously
trapped and overlapped with many species of ions in a Paul trap. Several design …

Direct observation of atom-ion nonequilibrium sympathetic cooling

Z Meir, M Pinkas, T Sikorsky, R Ben-Shlomi… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
Sympathetic cooling is the process of energy exchange between a system and a colder
bath. We investigate this fundamental process in an atom-ion experiment where the system …

Cooling of trapped ions by resonant charge exchange

S Dutta, SA Rangwala - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
The two most widely used ion cooling methods are laser cooling and sympathetic cooling by
elastic collisions (ECs). Here, we demonstrate another method of cooling ions that is based …

Collisional cooling in confined gases at cryogenic temperatures: Time dependent near-wall accumulation and gas dynamics

SS Mishra, S Bhattacharjee - International Journal of Heat and Mass …, 2024 - Elsevier
The heat transfer characteristics of a confined gas are often quantified by anisotropic thermal
conductivity and are affected by near-wall accumulation. However, in non-equilibrium …
