Laser Cooling Trapped Ions with Telecom Light for Applications in Quantum Information

Abstract

The main objectives of this project were to (1) measure the hyperfine energy splitting of the ground and first excited states of doubly-ionized lanthanum, and (2) to demonstrate laser cooling and trapping of doubly ionized lanthanum.
