contents Control of the external degree of freedom of trapped molecular ions is a prerequisite for their promising applications to spectroscopy, precision measurements of fundamental constants, and quantum information technology. Here, we demonstrate near ground-state cooling of the axial motional modes of a calcium mono-oxide ion via sympathetic sideband cooling with a co-trapped calcium ion. We also show that the phonon state of the axial out-of-phase mode of the ion chain is maintained while the mode frequency is adiabatically ramped up and down. The adiabatic ramping of the motional mode frequency is a prerequisite for searching for the proposed molecular dipole-phonon interaction.
