  Precise manipulation of matter at the atomic or molecular level has provided
the path for the nanotechnological revolution impacting diverse fields such as
biology, medicine, material science, quantum technologies, and electronics. At
the Antiproton Decelerator facility at CERN, the AEgIS experiment utilises
state-of-the-art technology to store and manipulate synthesised exotic atoms
containing both matter and antimatter. Such experiments lay the groundwork for
a better understanding of the fundamental interactions and hold the potential
to unravel the enigma of the absence of antimatter in our universe.
Additionally, the developed techniques advance the technological frontier of
controlling the quantum states of ions, a critical aspect of quantum sensing
and quantum computing applications.
