It is a metal, the fourteenth and penultimate element in the <a href="/wiki/Lanthanide" title="Lanthanide">lanthanide</a> series, which is the basis of the relative stability of its +2 <a href="/wiki/Oxidation_state" title="Oxidation state">oxidation state</a>. Like the other lanthanides, its most common oxidation state is +3, as in its <a href="/wiki/Oxide" title="Oxide">oxide</a>, <a href="/wiki/Halide" title="Halide">halides</a>, and other compounds. In <a href="/wiki/Aqueous_solution" title="Aqueous solution">aqueous solution</a>, like compounds of other late lanthanides, soluble ytterbium compounds form complexes with nine water molecules. Because of its closed-shell electron configuration, its density, melting point and boiling point are much lower than those of most other lanthanides. </p><p>In 1878, Swiss chemist <a href="/wiki/Jean_Charles_Galissard_de_Marignac" title="Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac">Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac</a> separated from the rare earth "erbia" (another independent component) which he called "<a href="/wiki/Ytterbia" class="mw-redirect" title="Ytterbia">ytterbia</a>", for <a href="/wiki/Ytterby" title="Ytterby">Ytterby</a>, the village in Sweden near where he found the new component of <a href="/wiki/Erbium" title="Erbium">erbium</a>. He suspected that ytterbia was a compound of a new element that he called "ytterbium". (In total, four elements were named after the village, the others being <a href="/wiki/Yttrium" title="Yttrium">yttrium</a>, <a href="/wiki/Terbium" title="Terbium">terbium</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Erbium" title="Erbium">erbium</a>.) In 1907, the new earth "lutecia" was separated from ytterbia, from which the element "lutecium" (now <a href="/wiki/Lutetium" title="Lutetium">lutetium</a>) was extracted by <a href="/wiki/Georges_Urbain" title="Georges Urbain">Georges Urbain</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carl_Auer_von_Welsbach" title="Carl Auer von Welsbach">Carl Auer von Welsbach</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Charles_James_(chemist)" title="Charles James (chemist)">Charles James</a>. After some discussion, Marignac's name "ytterbium" was retained. A relatively pure sample of the metal was not obtained until 1953. At present, ytterbium is mainly used as a <a href="/wiki/Dopant" title="Dopant">dopant</a> of stainless steel or <a href="/wiki/Active_laser_medium" title="Active laser medium">active laser media</a>, and less often as a <a href="/wiki/Gamma_ray" title="Gamma ray">gamma ray</a> source. </p><p>Natural ytterbium is a mixture of seven stable isotopes, which altogether are present at concentrations of 0.3 <a href="/wiki/Parts_per_million" class="mw-redirect" title="Parts per million">parts per million</a>. This element is mined in China, the United States, Brazil, and India in form of the minerals <a href="/wiki/Monazite" title="Monazite">monazite</a>, <a href="/wiki/Euxenite" title="Euxenite">euxenite</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Xenotime" title="Xenotime">xenotime</a>.

Power levels have increased from the 1&#160;kW regimes due to the advancements in components as well as the Yb-doped fibers. Fabrication of Low NA, Large Mode Area fibers enable achievement of near perfect beam qualities (M2&lt;1.1) at power levels of 1.5&#160;kW to greater than 2&#160;kW at ~1064&#160;nm in a broadband configuration.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Ytterbium-doped LMA fibers also have the advantages of a larger mode field diameter, which negates the impacts of nonlinear effects such as stimulated <a href="/wiki/Brillouin_scattering" title="Brillouin scattering">Brillouin scattering</a> and stimulated <a href="/wiki/Raman_scattering" title="Raman scattering">Raman scattering</a>, which limit the achievement of higher power levels, and provide a distinct advantage over single mode ytterbium-doped fibers. </p><p>To achieve even higher power levels in ytterbium-based fiber systems, all factors of the fiber must be considered. These can be achieved only through optimization of all ytterbium fiber parameters, ranging from the core background losses to the geometrical properties, to reduce the splice losses within the cavity. Power scaling also requires optimization of matching passive fibers within the optical cavity.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The optimization of the ytterbium-doped glass itself through host glass modification of various dopants also plays a large part in reducing the background loss of the glass, improvements in slope efficiency of the fiber, and improved photodarkening performance, all of which contribute to increased power levels in 1&#160;μm systems. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ion_qubits_for_quantum_computing">Ion qubits for quantum computing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ytterbium&amp;action=edit&amp;section=18" title="Edit section: Ion qubits for quantum computing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The charged ion <sup>171</sup>Yb<sup>+</sup> is used by multiple academic groups and companies as the trapped-ion qubit for <a href="/wiki/Quantum_computing" title="Quantum computing">quantum computing</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Olms1_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Olms1-56"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Quantum_entanglement" title="Quantum entanglement">Entangling</a> <a href="/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate" title="Quantum logic gate">gates</a>, such as the <a href="/wiki/M%C3%B8lmer%E2%80%93S%C3%B8rensen_gate" title="Mølmer–Sørensen gate">Mølmer–Sørensen gate</a>, have been achieved by addressing the ions with <a href="/wiki/Mode-locking" class="mw-redirect" title="Mode-locking">mode-locked</a> pulse lasers.<sup id="cite_ref-hay1_59-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hay1-59"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Others">Others</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ytterbium&amp;action=edit&amp;section=19" title="Edit section: Others"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Ytterbium metal increases its electrical resistivity when subjected to high stresses.
