Remote sympathetic cooling of a trapped proton through a superconducting circuit

Bohman and the BASE team sympathetically cooled a single proton by coupling it through a superconducting resonant circuit to laser-cooled beryllium ions in a separate Penning trap about nine centimetres away. Frequency spectra and controlled remote heating demonstrated energy exchange. Measurements of energy-dependent proton frequency shifts then showed a temperature reduction reaching 14.4±0.7 kelvin, relative to an effective circuit-noise temperature near 17 kelvin. The experiment extended sympathetic cooling beyond direct short-range Coulomb coupling.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The experiment measured the proton’s axial mode using calibrated, model-dependent frequency shifts. The quoted absolute final temperature, 2.6±2.5 kelvin, has much larger uncertainty than the temperature reduction. Other motional modes, antiproton cooling, ground-state preparation and improved fundamental-constant measurements were proposed extensions. The macroscopic circuit mode and trapped-particle motion were cooled; this does not mean the whole apparatus reached the inferred particle temperature.
