Course content
|
The course will introduce the principles of ion trapping in Paul and Penning traps, including the description of the motion and mutual interactions of charged particles in these traps. Students will become familiar with the theoretical description of light-matter interaction at the single-atom level and with the principles and techniques of laser cooling. The course will conclude with an introduction to the principles of mass spectrometry, frequency metrology, and quantum information processing with trapped ions.
