Description
I will discuss a number of results on quantum state engineering and dissipative control with trapped ions. Primarily this will relate to oscillator state control, where the engineering of open-system dynamics has allowed us to create a range of quantum steady-states, perform quantum error-correction using the Gottesmann-Kitaev-Preskill code, and to observe phase transitions in systems with competing dissipation. Furthermore I will outline how these methods might be extended to multi-partite systems, and present first results along these lines.
