Abstract
Indium ions (\({}^{115}\hbox {In}^+\)) are a promising candidate for an optical clock with a frequency inaccuracy below \(10^{-17}\). Quantum logic spectroscopy (QLS) plays a fundamental role in realizing such a clock by supplying a high-fidelity fast quantum state detection method. Initializing a phonon mode of an ion chain consisting of \(\hbox {In}^+\) and an ancillary ion to the ground state is a fundamental step toward the implementation of QLS. We report experimental results of the sideband cooling and heating rate measurements of a \({}^{40}\hbox {Ca}^+\)–\({}^{115}\hbox {In}^+\) chain using optical transitions in \(\hbox {Ca}^+\). The sideband cooling of the out-of-phase mode of the axial motion down to an estimated phonon number of 0.096 is demonstrated.
