It is expected that ion trap quantum computing can be made scalable through protocols that make use of transport of ion qubits between sub-regions within the ion trap. In this scenario, any magnetic field inhomogeneity the ion experiences during the transport, may lead to dephasing and loss of fidelity. Here we demonstrate how to measure, and compensate for, magnetic field gradients inside a segmented ion trap, by transporting a single ion over variable distances. We attain a relative magnetic field sensitivity of Delta B/B_0 ~ 5*10^{-7} over a test distance of 140 micro m, which can be extended to the mm range, still with sub micro m resolution. A fast experimental sequence is presented, facilitating its use as a magnetic field gradient calibration routine, and it is demonstrated that the main limitation is the quantum shot noise.

We perform high-resolution real-time read-out of the motion of a single trapped and laser-cooled Ba ion. By using an interferometric setup we demonstrate shot-noise limited measurement of thermal oscillations with resolution of 4 times the standard q
uantum limit. We apply the real-time monitoring for phase control of the ion motion through a feedback loop, suppressing the photon recoil-induced phase diffusion. Due to the spectral narrowing in phase-locked mode, the coherent ion oscillation is measured with resolution of about 0.3 times the standard quantum limit.
Measuring and understanding electric field noise from bulk material and surfaces is important for many areas of physics. In this work, we introduce a method to detect in situ different sources of electric field noise using a single trapped ion as a s
ensor. We demonstrate the probing of electric field noise as small as $S_E = 5.2(11)times 10^{-16},text{V}^2text{m}^{-2}text{Hz}^{-1}$, the lowest noise level observed with a trapped ion to our knowledge. Our setup incorporates a controllable noise source utilizing a high-temperature superconductor. This element allows us, first, to benchmark and validate the sensitivity of our probe. Second, to probe non-invasively bulk properties of the superconductor, observing for the first time a superconducting transition with an ion. For temperatures below the transition, we use our setup to assess different surface noise processes. The measured noise shows a crossover regime in the frequency domain, which cannot be explained by existing surface noise models. Our results open perspectives for new models in surface science and pave the way to test them experimentally.
Visible and infra-red light emitted at a Ag-Ag(111) junction has been investigated from tunneling to single atom contact conditions with a scanning tunneling microscope. The light intensity varies in a highly nonlinear fashion with the conductance of
the junction and exhibits a minimum at conductances close to the conductance quantum. The data are interpreted in terms of current noise at optical frequencies, which is characteristic of partially open transport channels.
We address the shot noise in the tunneling current through a localized spin, pertaining to recent experiments on magnetic adatoms and single molecular magnets. We show that both uncorrelated and spin-correlated scattering processes contribute vitally
to the noise spectrum. The spin-correlated scattering processes provide an additional contribution to the Landauer-Buttiker shot noise expression, accounting for correlations between the tunneling electrons and the localized spin moment. By calculating the Fano factor, we show that both super- and sub-Poissonian shot noise can be described within our approach. Our theory provides transparent insights to noise spectroscopy, consistent with recent experiments using local probing techniques on magnetic atoms.
We introduce a measurement scheme that utilizes a single ion as a local field probe. The ion is confined in a segmented Paul trap and shuttled around to reach different probing sites. By the use of a single atom probe, it becomes possible characteriz
ing fields with spatial resolution of a few nm within an extensive region of millimeters. We demonstrate the scheme by accurately investigating the electric fields providing the confinement for the ion. For this we present all theoretical and practical methods necessary to generate these potentials. We find sub-percent agreement between measured and calculated electric field values.
