A Single-Ion Reservoir as a High-Sensitive Sensor of Electric Signals

Abstract A single-ion reservoir has been tested, and characterized in order to be used as a highly sensitive optical detector of electric signals arriving at the trapping electrodes. Our system consists of a single laser-cooled 40Ca+ ion stored in a Paul trap with rotational symmetry. The performanc...
