Abstract

Abstract In a previous paper (Krumm and Vogel 2018 Phys. Rev. A 97 043806) we presented a method to solve the nonlinear Jaynes–Cummings dynamics, describing the quantized motion of a trapped ion exactly, including detuning. Here we investigate this model with respect to nonclassical effects, such as squeezing and sub-Poisson statistics. We show that for the versatile model under study there exist quantum phenomena beyond squeezing and sub-Poisson statistics, such as anomalous quantum correlations of two non-commuting observables. In particular, it is shown that for the excitation of the zeroth sideband neither squeezing nor sub-Poisson statistics occur, but anomalous correlations can be verified. Furthermore, it is shown how these anomalous correlation functions can be derived from measured data.

Time ordering in the classically driven nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model

Tobias Lipfert, F. Krumm, Mikhail I. Kolobov +1 more

Recently [F. Krumm and W. Vogel, Phys. Rev. A 97, 043806 (2018)], the detuned and nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model describing the quantized motion of a trapped ion was introduced and its corresponding dynamics was solved via considering the driving laser in a quantized manner. For the dynamics with a classical driving laser an approximation in terms of neglected time ordering was considered to obtain analytical expressions and compared to numerically obtained exact dynamics, which revealed the insufficiency of this approximation. In the present work we reconsider this model and show that it can likewise be solved analytically, i.e., including time ordering, with a classical driving laser field. Using the analytical solution, we investigate the quantum time-ordering effects of the system with respect to nonclassicality and nonsimulatability of the motional states of the ion. Furthermore, we use the Magnus expansion to analyze the impact of certain orders of the time ordering. We derive an exact radius of convergence for these time-ordering corrections beyond the established and only sufficient criterion. Finally, the differences between the solution derived here and the previously found one using a quantized pump are discussed.

Nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings Dynamics of a Trapped Ion Under a Dressed-State Description

Xiaoxue Yang, Ying Wu, Xue-li Luo +2 more

Introducing a dressed-state description, we show that a trapped ion in a standing wave field can be described by a nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model different from the counterpart of Vogel and Matos Filho [ Phys. Rev. A 52 (1995) 4214 ] in several aspects, which may carry important implications for the preparation and reconstruction of the nonclassical states of a trapped ion.

Generation of nonlinear motional trio coherent states and their nonclassical properties

Seyedeh Robabeh Miry, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

Using the nonlinear coherent states approach, a general formalism for the construction of various classes of nonlinear trio coherent states in the context of multi-mode quantum states has been proposed. In particular, taking into account the most popular nonlinearity function associated with f -deformed coherent states, i.e. the nonlinearity function of the centre-of-mass motion of a trapped ion, it is illustrated that the corresponding trio coherent state possesses some interesting nonclassical properties. To establish this observation, sub-Poissonian statistics, three-mode squeezing, the behaviour of Vogel's characteristic function and the existence of entanglement are investigated. Due to the intrinsic non-classicality nature of the considered three-mode states, their physical production may be of high interest in the quantum optics field. Thus, we have finally demonstrated how nonlinear motional trio coherent states can be generated in three-dimensional anisotropic traps, appropriately.

Quantum motion of trapped ions

R. Blatt, J. I. Cirac, A. S. Parkins +1 more

A single ion trapped in a harmonic potential and laser cooled at the node of a standing wave can be described in terms of the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian known in quantum optics. Similar to nonclassical states of light we propose to prepare nonclassical states of the ion motion in a harmonic trap. In particular, several schemes for the preparation of Fock states are presented, and techniques for the preparation of squeezed states and coherent states of the ion motion are indicated. For an observation of these nonclassical states we propose to measure quantum collapse and revival in the population inversion of a single trapped ion.

Nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings dynamics of a trapped ion

W. Vogel, R. L. de Matos Filho

We show that the vibronic motion of a trapped ion far from the Lamb-Dicke regime can be described, under appropriate resonance conditions, by a strongly nonlinear, multiquantum Jaynes-Cummings model. In contrast to previous nonlinear or multiphoton generalizations of the Jaynes-Cummings model, it could presently be realized in experiments.

Nonclassical vibrational states in a quantized trap

Heping Zeng, Fucheng Lin

The quantized center-of-mass (c.m.) motions of a single two-level atom or ion confined into a one-dimensional harmonic potential and interacting with a single-mode classical traveling-wave laser field are examined. We demonstrate that trap quantum states with remarkable nonclassical properties such as quadrature and amplitude-squared squeezing and sub-Poissonian statistics can be generated in this simple trap model when the c.m. motion is initially in certain coherent trap states. Our analyses also indicate that there exist some time regions where the production of nonclassical vibrational states is possible even if squeezing or sub-Poissonian statistics do not appear.
