This paper reports the direct temperature determination of sympathetically cooled 113Cd+ ions with laser-cooled 24Mg+ in a linear Paul trap. The sympathetically cooled ion species distribute in the outer shell of the large ensembles, which contain up to 3.3E5 ions. With optimized parameters, the minimum temperature of the sympathetically cooled 113Cd+ ions was measured to be tens of mK. These results indicate promising performance for microwave atomic clocks. The second order Doppler frequency shift is two orders of magnitudes lower and the Dick effect is suppressed.

We demonstrate sympathetic cooling of a 43Ca+ trapped-ion memory qubit by a 40Ca+ coolant ion near the ground state of both axial motional modes, whilst maintaining coherence of the qubit. This is an essential ingredient in trapped-ion quantum comput ers. The isotope shifts are sufficient to suppress decoherence and phase shifts of the memory qubit due to the cooling light which illuminates both ions. We measure the qubit coherence during 10 cycles of sideband cooling, finding a coherence loss of 3.3% per cooling cycle. The natural limit of the method is O(0.01%) infidelity per cooling cycle.
Optical frequency comparison of the 40Ca+ clock transition u_{Ca} (2S1/2-2D5/2, 729nm) against the 87Sr optical lattice clock transition u_{Sr}(1S0-3P0, 698nm) has resulted in a frequency ratio u_{Ca} / u_{Sr} = 0.957 631 202 358 049 9(2 3). The rapid nature of optical comparison allowed the statistical uncertainty of frequency ratio u_{Ca} / u_{Sr} to reach 1x10-15 in only 1000s and yielded a value consistent with that calculated from separate absolute frequency measurements of u_{Ca} using the International Atomic Time (TAI) link. The total uncertainty of the frequency ratio using optical comparison (free from microwave link uncertainties) is smaller than that obtained using absolute frequency measurement, demonstrating the advantage of optical frequency evaluation. We report the absolute frequency of ^{40}Ca+ with a systematic uncertainty 14 times smaller than our previous measurement [1].
Current precision experiments with single (anti)protons to test CPT symmetry progress at a rapid pace, but are complicated by the need to cool particles to sub-thermal energies. We describe a cryogenic Penning-trap setup for $^9$Be$^+$ ions designed to allow coupling of single (anti)protons to laser-cooled atomic ions for sympathetic cooling and quantum logic spectroscopy. We report on trapping and laser cooling of clouds and single $^9$Be$^+$ ions. We discuss prospects for a microfabricated trap to allow coupling of single (anti)protons to laser-cooled $^9$Be$^+$ ions for sympathetic laser cooling to sub-mK temperatures on ms time scales.

We report sympathetic cooling of $^{113}$Cd$^+$ by laser-cooled $^{40}$Ca$^+$ in a linear Paul trap for microwave clocks. Long-term low-temperature confinement of $^{113}$Cd$^+$ ions was achieved. The temperature of these ions was measured at $90(10) $ mK, and the corresponding uncertainty arising from the second-order Doppler shifts was estimated to a level of $2times10^{-17}$. Up to $4.2times10^5$ Cd$^+$ ions were confined in the trap, and the confinement time constant was measured to be 84 hours. After three hours of confinement, there were still $10^5$ Cd$^+$ ions present, indicating that this Ca$^+$--Cd$^+$ dual ion system is surprisingly stable. The ac Stark shift was induced by the Ca$^+$ lasers and fluorescence, which was carefully estimated to an accuracy of $5.4(0.5)times10^{-17}$ using a high-accuracy textit{ab initio} approach. The Dick-effect-limited Allan deviation was also deduced because deadtimes were shorter. These results indicate that a microwave clock based on this sympathetic cooling scheme holds promise in providing ultra-high frequency accuracy and stability.
We measure the dynamic differential scalar polarizabilities at 10.6 $mu$m for two candidate clock transitions in $^{176}mathrm{Lu}^+$. The fractional black body radiation (BBR) shifts at 300 K for the $^1S_0 leftrightarrow {^3D_1}$ and $^1S_0 leftrig htarrow {^3D_2}$ transitions are evaluated to be $-1.36,(9) times 10^{-18}$ and $2.70 ,(21) times10^{-17}$, respectively. The former is the lowest of any established optical atomic clock.
