The quantum Zeno effect was first observed experimentally in 1989 in laser - cooled
ions trapped by magnetic and electric fields.
Ions trapped by electric fields and controlled via laser enable the device to run any algorithm, or sequential operation of steps, using 5 qubits.

This was achieved
by means of ytterbium
ions which were
trapped in so - called «radio - frequency
ion traps» in ultra-high vacuum and were cooled down to a few millikelvin with the aid of laser light.
In their scheme, each
ion is
trapped by four permanent magnets, with a controllable voltage across the
trap.
To make their engine, the researchers first enclosed the
ion (a calcium atom with one electron removed) inside an 8 - millimeter - long funnel - shaped electrical
trap created
by four electrodes.
By turning the noise on and off at just the right rate, the researchers can tune the engine so that the frequency of the
ion's up - and - down motion exactly matches the
trap's natural oscillation frequency.
A few years ago [in 2004] a group led
by David J. Wineland at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo. — and simultaneously with that, a group led
by Rainer Blatt in Innsbruck, Austria — teleported the internal spin of a
trapped ion.
A device called the integrated
ion -
trap - time - of - flight mass spectrometer, which was invented
by Hudson's lab and which was used to discover the reaction — was featured on a recent episode of the sitcom «The Big Bang Theory.»
In the same year, a similar scheme for cooling
trapped ions with lasers was proposed
by David J. Wineland and Hans G. Dehmelt of the University of Washington.
One of the computers is built around five ytterbium
ions held in an electromagnetic
trap and manipulated
by lasers.
The dynamics of the carbonium
ion (CH5 +), a highly reactive intermediate with no equilibrium structure, was studied
by measuring the infrared spectra for internally cold CH5 + (H2) n (n = 1, 2, 3) stored in an
ion trap.
At the other end of the spectrum are superconducting circuits — pursued for instance
by IBM and Google — and
ion traps.
This effect is also exploited
by the team to heat the rotational motion of the molecular
ions through the amplification of the regular micro-motion of
trapped particles.
This ensemble was «confined» in an
ion trap known as CryPTEx, which was developed
by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (see Background).
The logic clock is based on a single aluminum
ion (electrically charged atom)
trapped by electric fields and vibrating at ultraviolet light frequencies, which are 100,000 times higher than microwave frequencies used in NIST - F1 and other similar time standards around the world.
The Weizmann scientists built an electric
trap in which two electrons are bound to two strontium
ions that are cooled close to absolute zero and separated
by 2 micrometers (millionths of a meter).
The physicists increase the micro-motion velocity of the molecular
ions by varying the shape and size of the
ion crystal in the
trap: they knead the crystal as it were
by means of the alternating voltage which is applied to the
trap electrodes.
Although most of the solar wind is blocked
by the magnetosphere, some of the
ions become briefly
trapped in ring - shaped holding areas around the planet.
We work with a wide variety of technologies, including NV centers in diamond,
trapped ions and optical cavities,
by developing theoretical proposals whose realization and application for example in biology we are pursuing in collaboration with national and international groups and interacting very closely with the experimental groups in Ulm.
Fluoroquinolones were analyzed
by liquid chromatography coupled to an
ion trap mass spectrometer and electro spray interface (LC - ESI - IT - MSMS).
