The Brief
- Researchers report integrated optical delivery of a phase-stable standing wave for laser cooling of trapped ions.
- The method is shown to cool multiple motional modes of trapped ions rapidly.
- The reported goal is cooling trapped ions to the quantum ground state.
Why it matters
Faster multi-mode cooling to the motional ground state could make trapped-ion quantum systems quicker to prepare, which matters for quantum computing and precision measurement experiments.
