Single trapped ions represent elementary quantum systems that are well isolated from the
environment. They can be brought nearly to rest by laser cooling, and both their internal …

Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles
and represent the plasma state of soft matter. Complex plasmas have several remarkable …

The enlarged new edition of this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the
basic processes in plasmas and demonstrates that the same fundamental concepts describe …

Over the last quarter of this century, revolutionary advances have been made both in kind
and in precision in the application of particle traps to the study of thephysics of charged …

Ultracold neutral plasmas formed by photoionizing laser-cooled atoms near the ionization
threshold have electron temperatures in the 1–1000K range and ion temperatures from tens …

Stationary molecules in well-defined internal states are of broad interest for physics and
chemistry. In physics, this includes metrology,,, quantum computing, and many-body …

We have produced and cooled the molecular ions MgH+ and MgD+ in a linear Paul trap.
These ions were generated by the photochemical reactions Mg+(3 p 2 P 3/2)+ H 2 (D 2)→ …

The control of internal and motional quantum degrees of freedom of laser-cooled trapped
ions has been subject to intense theoretical and experimental research for about three …

One limit to the fidelity of quantum logic operations on trapped ions arises from heating of
the ions' collective modes of motion. Sympathetic cooling of the ions during the logic …

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) focuses on understanding the interactions
between matter and the electromagnetic field in cavities at the quantum level,. In the past …
