We study heating of motional modes of a single ion and of extended ion crystals trapped in a linear radio frequency (rf) Paul trap with a precision of $\Delta \dot{\bar{n}} \approx 0.2 $ phonons s$^{-1}$. Single-ion axial and radial heating…

Ion traps are promising architectures for implementing scalable quantum computing, but they suffer from excessive "anomalous" heating that prevents their full potential from being realized. This heating, which is orders of magnitude larger…
Electric noise from metallic surfaces is a major obstacle towards quantum applications with trapped ions due to motional heating of the ions. Here, we discuss how the same noise source can also lead to pure dephasing of motional quantum…

We consider two different kinds of fluctuations in an ion trap potential: external fluctuating electrical fields, which cause statistical movement (``wobbling'') of the ion relative to the center of the trap, and fluctuations of the spring…
