Highly charged ions (HCI) offer extreme properties, making them suitable candidates for the search for physics beyond the standard model or novel optical clocks [1]. Production and storage of HCI commonly occurs at MK temperatures, limiting the spectroscopic resolution to the hundreds of MHz scale. This has been overcome by sympathetically cooling HCI in a linear Paul trap using Be+ ions [2].
Ar13+ ions are produced in an electron beam ion trap, from where they are extracted, transported to and injected into a Paul trap. A Be+-Ar13+ two-ion crystal is prepared and cooled to its motional ground state. Spectroscopy on the 2P1/2 to 2P3/2 transition in the Ar13+ ion at 441 nm is performed using the quantum logic technique [3]. There, the internal state of the Ar13+ ion after laser excitation is transferred to the Be+ ion through their shared motional mode for readout. The achieved sub Hz resolution gives insight into relativistic, interelectronic and QED contributions to the excited state g-factor. The first optical clock based on a HCI is also demonstrated.
