The PTB scientific advisory board visits the Highly Charged Ion experiment at QUEST. Photo: A 3-D printed 1:1 model of the Paul trap at the heart of the precision experiment - is examined.
In our experiment we have a 1 W closed-cycle, low-vibration 4 K cryostat which refrigerates the Paul trap of the highly charged ion (HCI) experiment. An extreme high vacuum is achieved providing long HCI storage times on the order of 45 min. A vibration suppression system ensures a mechanically...
Benjamin Kraus joins the IQLOC team at the Hannover Institute of Technology as a PhD student. He previously studied at the University of Heidelberg and did his master's thesis on nanophotonics at the University of York. We welcome him as a great addition to our team!
Lukas Spieß joins the Highly Charged Ions team as a PhD student. Previously working with Dr. José R. Crespo López-Urrutia on the CryPTEx experiment he is a welcome addition to our team.
Fabian Dawel joins the iQloc team as a PhD student. He previously worked with Dr. Sondermann and Prof. Leuchs at MPL Erlangen and Friedrichs-Alexander-Universität Erlangen.
Arthur Hettinger has started as a Bachelor's student as part of the iQloc team. He will work on a fiber noise cancelation for the aluminum clock laser.
Ludwig Krinner joins the iQloc team as a PostDoc. He graduated from Stony Brook University in 2018 working on Ultracold Atoms under Prof. Schneble. He will work on entangling Ca-Ions for enhanced metrology.
