We recently completed a test of local Lorentz invariance (LLI) in the electron-photon sector using a single trapped 172Yb+ ion [1]. With a novel approach based on composite pulse Ramsey spectroscopy [2] we fully exploited the ion’s high sensitivity to Lorentz violation (LV) [3] and reached second long coherence times. We extracted improved bounds on LV coefficients in the 10-21 region. Scaling the used method to a linear Coulomb crystal of N ions would further increase the sensitivity by √N. Here, we report on our ongoing efforts to test LLI on a 10 ion crystal. We show that the composite pulse sequence is highly robust against inhomogeneities of the magnetic and interaction fields, enabling easy upscaling to a 100 µm ion crystal. We also report on the progress of coherent multi-ion octupole excitation for efficient population of the F-state. The AC-Stark shift of several 100 Hz compared to a linewidth of 10 Hz [4] demands intensity deviations below ±4%, which we achieve by shaping the beam with a holographic phaseplate.
