19. For long interrogation times, sideband cooling on the logic ion can be applied during and/or after interrogation of the spectroscopy transition (before the first coherent transfer step, Fig. 1C), thus eliminating a degradation of linewidth and contrast caused by transfer mode heating during interrogation.

21. We did not prepare the ion in any particular state before each experiment. Rather, competition between state preparation and off-resonant depumping determined the distribution of polarizations before the next repetition of the experiment.
