Abstract
We study, both experimentally and theoretically, electromagnetically induced transparency cooling of the axial drumhead modes of 2-dimensional arrays with up to N 190 Be+ ions stored in a Penning trap. Substantial sub-Doppler cooling is observed for all N drumhead modes. Quantitative measurements for the center-of-mass mode show near ground state cooling with motional quantum numbers of nbar = 0.3 +- 0.2 obtained within 200 μs. The measured cooling rate is faster than that predicted by single particle theory, in agreement with a quantum many-body calculation. For the lower frequency drumhead modes, quantitative temperature measurements are limited by apparent damping and frequency instabilities, but near ground state cooling of the full bandwidth is stronglysuggested.Citation
