Controlling the spontaneous emission of trapped ions

Quantum Physics 2025-07-01 v2

Abstract

We propose an experimental setup for manipulating the spontaneous emission of trapped ions, based on a spatial light modulator. Anticipated novelties include the potential to entangle more than two ions through a single photon detection event and control the visibility for spatially distinguishable emitters. The setup can be adapted to most of the existing ion traps commonly used in quantum technology.
