A long-lived Zeeman trapped-ion qubit

We demonstrate unprecedentedly long lifetimes for electron spin superposition states of a single trapped 40Ca+ ion. For a Ramsey measurement, we achieve a 1/e coherence time of 300(50) ms, while a spin-echo experiment yields a coherence time of 2.1(1) s. The latter corresponds to residual effective...
