Much progress has been made recently towards a CPT test with baryons based on the (anti-)proton’s magnetic moment [1, 2]. A big challenge in any such experiment is the spin state measurement for single (anti-)protons. This requires single particle spectroscopy in strong magnetic gradients at ultra-low background noise and long measuring times.
We describe concepts and simulations for an experiment which will implement single-shot spin state readout using quantum logic operations according to the proposal by Heinzen and Wineland [3]. The spin state will be analysed by coupling the (anti-)proton to a co-trapped 9Be+ ion. Compared to the current techniques much faster experimental cycles are expected, and eventually, a significant boost in precision. We discuss trapping geometries, concepts for single (anti-)proton rf sideband control, and for ground state cooling of the atomic quantum logic ion at a magnetic field of several Tesla in a miniaturized Penning trap stack.
