Lower ground state due to counter-rotating wave interaction in a trapped ion system

T. Liu, K. L. Wang, Mang Feng

We consider a single ion confined in a trap under the radiation of two travelling waves of lasers. In the strong-excitation regime and without the restriction of the Lamb–Dicke limit, the Hamiltonian of the system is similar to a driving Jaynes–Cummings model without the rotating wave approximation (RWA). The approach we developed enables us to present complete eigensolutions, which makes it possible to compare with the solutions under the RWA. We find that the ground state in our non-RWA solution is energetically lower than the counterpart under the RWA. If we have the ion in the ground state, it is equivalent to a spin dependent force on the trapped ion. Discussion is given for the difference between the solutions with and without the RWA, and for the relevant experimental test, as well as for the possible application to quantum information processing.

Analysis of transient effects of two-level atom in laser light

Smail B. Bougouffa, S. Al‐Awfi

We are concerned with an analytic separation approach of the optical Bloch equations in the case of the two-level atom interacting with a classical light. The conditions that permit a complete separation of these equations are extracted in a natural manner and the exact solutions are obtained. A theoretical comparison with Torrey method is given. In this context, we find that the transient regime, valid from the instant of the application of the laser on atom, is significant for the evolution of forces and the dynamics before the steady-state regime will be reached. The case of Eu3 + ion moving in plane-light wave and standing-wave is treated with some details. The implications of the results for operating atoms and ions using laser light are discussed.
