We discuss techniques tailored for quantum logic inspired cooling and manipulation of a single (anti-)proton in a Penning trap system. Inside the trap a double-well potential is engineered for co-trapping a beryllium ion, which enables for the use of quantum logic spectroscopy inspired sympathetic cooling and readout techniques [1, 2]. These should allow for preparation at sub-Doppler temperatures and a readout of the (anti-)proton’s spin-state in less than a second. Within the BASE collaboration [3] these methods could be applied to precision measurements of the (anti-)proton’s g-factor, thus contributing to a precise test of CPT invariance with baryons.
Here, we present recent progress made in the setup of the Penning trap apparatus, laser systems, and imaging optics for cooling, manipulation, and detection of the trapped beryllium ion.
