Rydberg ions in coherent motional states: a new method for determining the polarizability of Rydberg ions

We present a method for measuring the polarizability of Rydberg ions confined in the harmonic potential of a Paul trap. For a highly excited electronic state, the coupling between the electronic wave function and the trapping field modifies the excitation spectra depending on the motional state of t...
