Generation of motional SU(1,1) intelligent states of a trapped ion

Abstract

We propose a scheme for generating SU(1,1) intelligent states for the quantized vibrational motion of a trapped ion. The SU(1,1) intelligent states are those states satisfying the equalized SU(1,1) uncertainty relation. The relevant operators can be realized for one or two vibrational modes (the states for the latter having strong intermode correlations) and we consider both cases. In the single-mode case, three codirectional laser beams are used to excite the trapped ion, while for the two-mode case, five laser beams along different directions in the X-Y plane of the ion trap are required. Our desired states are obtained as the steady-state solutions, indicated by the extinction of the fluorescence by the ion, of the master equation containing dissipative terms due to spontaneous emission with appropriately chosen initial states. The system is also studied numerically using a Monte Carlo state-vector method.

Generation of SU(1,1) Intelligent States for the Motion of Two Trapped Ions

Liping Fu, Tianyu Sun

We propose a method for generating SU(1,1) intelligent states for the center of mass and relative motional modes for two trapped ions. In our scheme, only three laser beams are employed, and their directions are all the same as the direction of the two trapped ions' alignment. Under certain conditions, our desired states are obtained as the steady-state solution of the master equation of the system.

Generation of motional pair coherent states in an anisotropic ion trap

Shi‐Biao Zheng

A scheme is proposed for generating motional pair coherent states of an ion in a two-dimensional anisotropic trap. In the scheme the ion is excited by two laser beams in the x - y plane. Under certain conditions, the system finally reaches the steady state given by the product of the ground electronic state with the motional pair coherent state. The scheme can be generalized to prepare pair cat states and two-mode SU (1,1) intelligent states in a two-dimensional anisotropic trap.

Dark pair coherent states of the motion of a trapped ion

Shih-Chuan Gou, Jörg Steinbach, P. L. Knight

We propose a scheme for generating vibrational pair coherent states of the motion of an ion in a two-dimensional trap. In our scheme, the trapped ion is excited bichromatically by three laser beams along different directions in the $X\ensuremath{-}Y$ plane of the ion trap. We show that if the initial vibrational state is given by a two-mode Fock state, the final steady state, indicated by the extinction of the fluorescence emitted by the ion, is a pure state. The motional state of the ion in the equilibrium realizes that of the highly correlated pair coherent state.

Generation and stabilization of entangled coherent states for the vibrational modes of a trapped ion

Zhi‐Rong Zhong, Xin-Jie Huang, Zhen‐Biao Yang +2 more

We propose a scheme for preparation of entangled coherent states for the motion of an ion in a two-dimensional anisotropic trap. In the scheme, the ion is driven by four laser beams along different directions in the ion trap plane, resulting in carrier excitation and couplings between the internal and external degrees of freedom. When the total quantum number of the vibrational modes initially has a definite parity, the competition between the unitary dynamics and spontaneous emission will force the system to evolve to a steady state, where the vibrational modes are in a two-mode cat state. We show that the method can be extended to realization of entangled coherent states for three vibrational modes of an ion in a three-dimensional anisotropic trap.
