Molecule generation Our experiment is performed on a mixed-species two-ion crystal consisting of 40Ca+ and 40CaOH+ confined in a linear Paul trap28. To form such a crystal, we first load two 40Ca+ ions and then leak in water vapour with a leak valve from a gas chamber that contains mainly water vapour with a pressure
