Towards Testing Lorentz Violation with 172Yb+ Ions — •Chih-Han Yeh, André P. Kulosa, Dimitri Kalincev, and Tanja E. Mehlstäubler — Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, 38166 Braunschweig, Germany

We report on an experiment that will test the Lorentz violation (LV) in the electron-photon sector [1] with 172Yb+ ions. Similar tests have been carried out with optical entanglement of two Ca+ ions [2] and by comparing two independent 171Yb+ clocks [3]. The maximum LV signal for Yb+ ions is a factor of 14 stronger compared to Ca+. We interrogate the 4f136s2 2F7/2 state which has a life time of about six years. Together with AN ion trap heating rate of  1ph/s our experiment will allow for extended Ramsey times of several seconds. Coherent excitation of such a long-lived state for the preparation of entangled states as in [2] requires tens of ms pulse durations, possibly being limited by magnetic field noise in our current experimental setup. Therefore, we investigate the use of dynamical decoupling [4] which allows the ions to be first-order insensitive to magnetic field noise during the interrogation by mixing the Zeeman states. Theoretically, operating dynamical decoupling with 10 ions and a Ramsey time of 10s with 48h of total measurement time would allow us to gain a factor of 10 in sensitivity compared to the current limit [3].
