Cold and controlled atoms and ions are currently of great interest for applications in quantum information processing, simulation and sensing. Excitation of trapped ions to their Rydberg states offers a unique opportunity for combining advantages of precisely controllable trapped-ion qubits with long-range and tunable Rydberg interactions [1]. Intrinsically large polarizabilities of Rydberg states result in enhanced electric field sensitivity to generate entanglement in sub-µs timescales [2]. Here, we present two-photon spectroscopy on high lying Rydberg states of 40Ca+ ions for precise determination of the se-cond ionization energy as well as principal quantum number scaling for blackbody induced ionization and depopulation rates [3]. We introduce a model to simulate the transition lineshape and study phonon number induced frequency shifts. Finally, we excite large coherent states of motion to extract the Rydberg state polarizability, a prerequisite for using Rydberg ions as electric field sensors.
