Three-dimensional matter-wave interferometry of a trapped single ion

Atomic Physics 2021-04-21 v2 Quantum Physics

Abstract

We report on a demonstration of Ramsey interferometry by three-dimensional motion with a trapped 171Yb+^{171}Yb^+ ion. We applied a momentum kick to the ion in a direction diagonal to the trap axes to initiate three-dimensional motion using a mode-locked pulse laser. The interference signal was analyzed theoretically to demonstrate three-dimensional matter-wave interference. This work paves the way to realizing matter-wave interferometry using trapped ions.
