High precision spectroscopy of trapped molecular ions constitutes a promising tool for the study of fundamental physics. Possible applications include the search for a variation of fundamental constants and measurement of the electric dipole moment of the electron. Compared to atoms, molecules offer a rich level structure, permanent dipole moment and large internal electric fields which make them exceptionally well- suited for those applications. However, the additional rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom result in a dense level structure and absence of closed cycling transitions. Therefore, standard techniques for cooling, optical pumping and state detection cannot be applied. This challenge can be overcome by quantum logic spectroscopy, where a well-controllable atomic ion is co-trapped to the molecular ion, both coupled strongly via the Coulomb interaction. The shared motional state can be used as a bus to transfer information about the internal state of the molecular ion to the atomic ion, where it can be read out using fluorescence detection. Using a Ca ion, we implemented a quantum logic scheme to detect population transfer on a co-trapped spectroscopy ion, induced by a far detuned Raman laser setup. We present the latest progress of the experiment, aiming at high precision quantum logic spectroscopy of single molecular ions.
