Combining both atoms and ions is not a trivial task, yet in our experimental system consisting of an Yb-ion in a bath of lithium atoms we have been able to reach the regime where quantum effects emerge. In this project, you will work on the implementation of an additional cooling step for the Yb-ion, which will cool it closer to the ions\u2019 groundstate. Then, using resolved sideband spectroscopy on the S1\/2 \u2194 D5\/2 quadrupole transition you will characterize the newly achieved temperatures of the ion and answer the question, how much colder it is. This new feature will help to create a cold atom-ion system close to the s-wave regime.<br \/><br \/>\n<strong>Prerequisite knowledge: <\/strong>Atomic physics, affinity with experiments and working with lasers<br \/>\n<strong>Internship period and planned duration:<\/strong>Winter\/Spring 2022, 4-6 months\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":773,"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767\/revisions\/773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efeqt.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
