Mixtures of ultracold atoms and trapped ions [1] form interesting platforms for studying cold chemistry, cold collisions, polaron physics, but also quantum information and quantum simulation with strong links to condensed matter physics [2]. We have designed and fabricated a combined atom and ion trap based on modern chip trap technology that employs strong inhomogeneous magnetic fields generated by integrated electromagnets to trap the atoms. Such tight magnetic traps will allow wavepacket sizes of the atoms in the range of the atom-ion interaction range. Straight-forward magnetic field control should make it possible to resolve the atom-ion interaction with sub-µm precision [3].
