Abstract

Ultracold atomic samples doped with charged particles is a nascent field marrying two usually well-separated fields, namely trapped ions and ultracold atoms. Since the original proposals over 15 years ago, the initially slow pace has given way to rapid progress. In this chapter, we review some of the concepts relevant to this hybrid field, ranging from resonant charge transfer to the effect of isotope shifts, and the role of hyperfine and Zeeman interactions in obtaining Feshbach resonances allowing control of the scattering processes taking place. The next frontier, charges in a Bose–Einstein condensate, is also introduced and discussed.
