Trapped ions are a versatile platform, which is well suited for probing thermodynamics down to a single atom [1]. We have indentified non-linear dynamics that results in a Duffing-type resonance that can be used to improve sensing of very small forces [2]. Motivated by these results we present how the experimental setup has relevance in the context of resource theory and how the special features of the tapered ion trap can be exploited to implement a model system for heat transport [3].
