The Aluminum-quantum-logic team has recently observed coherent excitation of the logic transition in a single trapped Aluminum-ion. Now also coherent excitation of the clock transition was achieved. A scan of the clock transition is shown in the picture with a linewidth of 43Hz (FWHM) for a gaussian...

Alexander Wilzewski joins the Highly Charged Ions team as a PhD student. Previously he received a Bachelor's and Master's degree from Johannes Gutenberg University at Mainz, and joined a US exchange program in 2017. We welcome him to the group!

Giorgio Zarantonello has successfully defended his dissertation "Robust high fidelity microwave near-field entangling quantum logic gate". Congratulations!

The Sonderforschungsbereich Designed Quantum States of Matter (DQ-mat) has been renewed for another funding period of four years. For mor details see the news-article at the webpage of the SFB.

Peter Micke succesfully defends his Ph. D. thesis. We congratulate him on this achievement.

The topic of his thesis is:

‘Quantum Logic Spectroscopy of Highly Charged Ions’
