Abstract
We describe a series of experiments showing how a single trapped ion, which interacts with its own resonance fluorescence via a distant mirror, exhibits cavity-QED effects such as modified spontaneous emission, level shifts, and even mechanical forces. The same interaction is used to establish feedback on the ion's quantum motion, providing additional cooling and phase stabilisation of its vibration in the trap. Based on these methods and results we present an experiment dedicated at creating entanglement between two distant ions by projective measurements.
