Ion Coulomb Crystals and Some Applications

Abstract

In this contribution, we present some of our recent results involving ion Coulomb crystals in linear Paul traps. A few results regarding single component crystals are discussed, but the main focus is on properties of two-component crystals and their applications in the fields of cold molecular physics and quantum optics.
