First observation of the continuous Stern-Gerlach effect on an electron bound in an atomic ion

We report on the first observation of the continuous Stern-Gerlach effect on an electron bound in an atomic ion. A single hydrogen-like ion ("1"2C"5"+) was prepared, cooled and non-destructively detected in a Penning trap. The spin state of the bound electron in the 1s_1_/_2 ground state was monitored continuously in a quantum non-demolition type experiment. Quantum jumps between the two spin states were induced by a microwave at the spin precession frequency of the bound electron. The measured g-factor of the bound electron, g = 2.001 042 (2), is in excellent agreement with the theoretical value, confirming the relativistic correction at a level of 0.1%.
