abstract

We report the trapping of ultracold neutral $ \text{Rb}$ atoms and $ \text{Ba}^+ $ ions in a common optical potential in absence of any radiofrequency (RF) fields. We prepare $ \text{Ba}^+ $ at $ 370 ~ \mu K $ and demonstrate efficient sympathetic cooling by $100 ~ \mu K $ after one collision. Our approach is currently limited by the $ \text{Rb}$ density and related three-body losses, but it overcomes the fundamental limitation in RF traps set by RF-driven, micromotion-induced heating. It is applicable to a wide range of ion-atom species, and may enable novel ultracold chemistry experiments and complex many-body dynamics.

  1. Interactions and charge transfer dynamics of an Al$^+$ ion immersed in ultracold Rb and Sr atoms

    physics.atom-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First ab initio potentials, transition dipoles, and scattering rates for Al+ with Rb and Sr predict slow radiative charge transfer and molecular ion formation, with branching ratios favoring the ground molecular state.
