Systems of trapped ions and systems of ultracold Rydberg atoms are
used at the forefront of quantum physics research and they make
strong contenders as platforms for quantum technologies. Trapped
Rydberg ions are a new hybrid technology envisaged to have both the
exquisite control of trapped ion systems and the strong
interactions of Rydberg atoms. In this work a single trapped
Rydberg ion is experimentally investigated. A trapped strontium ion
is excited to Rydberg states using two ultraviolet lasers. Effects
of the strong trapping electric fields on the highly-sensitive
Rydberg ion are studied. After mitigating unwanted trap effects,
the ion is coherently excited to Rydberg states and a quantum gate
is demonstrated. This thesis lays much of the experimental
groundwork for research using this novel system.
