Abstract

We present the dynamics of a single harmonically trapped ion interacting with a laser, considering a linear combination of two eigenstates of the system as the initial state.The conditions on the physical parameters that allow for the evolution of the system are discussed.We are able to obtain analytical results using no other approximation than the optical rotating-wave approximation and are able to show Rabi oscillations for such initial states.

A family of exact eigenstates for a single trapped ion interacting with a laser field

H. M. Moya-Cessa, Daniel Jonathan, P. L. Knight

We show that, under certain combinations of the parameters governing the interaction of a harmonically trapped ion with a laser beam, it is possible to find one or more exact eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, with no approximations except the optical rotating-wave approximation. These are related via a unitary equivalence to exact eigenstates of the full Jaynes-Cummings model (including counter-rotating terms) supplemented by a static driving term.

Dynamics of Two-Level Trapped Ion in a Standing Wave Laser in Noncommutative Space

Xiaoxue Yang, Ying Wu

We study the dynamics of a two-level trapped ion in a standing wave electromagnetic field in two-dimensional (2D) noncommutative spaces in the Lamb–Dicke regime under the rotating wave approximation. We obtain the explicit analytical expressions for the energy spectra, energy eigenstates, unitary time evolution operator, atomic inversion, and phonon number operators. The Rabi oscillations, the collapse, and revivals in the average atomic inversion and the average phonon number are explicitly shown to contain the information of the parameter of the space noncommutativity, which sheds light on proposing new schemes based on the dynamics of trapped ion to test the noncommutativity.

Dynamics of the interaction between a trapped ultracold ion and a standing wave laser without rotating wave approximation

Jiang Yu

In an interaction representation, we study the dynamics of the interaction between a trapped ultracold ion and a standing wave laser within the Lanb Dicke limit. As the rotating wave approximation is not introduced the ions motion becomes more and more chaotic with the increase of the Lamb Dicke parameter and Rabi frequency. Finally, we make a comparison of our results with those under the rotating wave approximation.

QUANTUM TREATMENT OF A TIME DEPENDENT SINGLE-TRAPPED ION INTERACTING WITH A BIMODAL CAVITY FIELD

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty, A.‐S. F. Obada, M. Sebawe Abdalla

In the present communication we consider a time dependent ion-field interaction. Here we discuss the interaction between a single trapped ion and two fields taking into account the coupling parameter to be time dependent and allowing for amplitude modulation of the laser field radiating the trapped ion. At exact resonances the analytic solution for the Heisenberg equations of motion is obtained. We examine the effect of the velocity and the acceleration on the Rabi oscillations by studying the second order correlation function. The phenomenon of squeezing for single and two fields cases is considered. The cross correlation between the fields is discussed.

Trapped ions interacting with laser fields: a perturbative analysis without rotating wave approximation

Paolo Aniello, Vladimir I. Man’ko, Giuseppe Marmo +3 more

The Hamiltonian describing a single ion placed in a potential trap in interaction with a laser beam is studied by means of a suitable perturbative approach. It is shown, in particular, that the rotating wave approximation does not provide the correct expression, at the first perturbative order, of the evolution operator of the system.

A simple, analytic solution of the Rabi model using multiple-scales

Luis Octavio Castaños-Cervantes

We considered the semiclassical Rabi model, that is, a two-level system interacting with a single-mode, classical field. In resonance and for an arbitrary initial state of the system, we obtained a simple, approximate, and analytic solution that takes into account the counterrotating terms and that is accurate as long as the Rabi frequency is smaller than or equal to 1/2 (1/4) of the angular frequency of the field and 1 (10) Rabi oscillations are considered. In addition, the approximate solution has the same level of complexity as that obtained with the rotating-wave-approximation (RWA) and allows one to describe the evolution of the Bloch vector of the system in terms of a \textit{slow-precessional} and a \textit{fast-nutational} motion similar to that of a symmetric top with one point fixed. Finally, the approximate solution also leads to a simple criterion that allows one to determine the accuracy of the solution in the RWA.
