Cold ions confined in radiofrequency (RF) ion traps are among the most promising candidates for quantum information processing and quantum simulation. In these systems, exciting the ionic electron to high-laying Rydberg states offers a unique opportunity for observing novel effects arising from the interplay between the Coulomb interaction and their giant dipole moments. This offers a new router for investigating strongly correlated many-body quantum systems, for simulating complex systems and for the exploration of non-equilibrium dynamics in structural phase transitions and defect formations [1-3]. We have employed coherent VUV radiation at 122.04 nm for Rydberg excitation of calcium ions in a linear, segmented RF trap. The excitation to 52F, 53F, 66F and 22F states was observed and modelled [4,5]. Using sideband spectroscopy on the quadrupole qubit transition, we have characterized the micromotion effect on the line shape of Rydberg transitions.
