Ion-quantized field interaction in two regimes

Arturo Zúñiga-Segundo, Raúl Juárez-Amaro, Francisco Soto, H. M. Moya-Cessa

Abstract

By taking advantage of the superposition principle inherent to quantum mechanics, we show that it is possible, by interacting a quantized field with a trapped ion, to reach both high intensity and low intensity regimes simultaneously. We use the London operator in order to simplify the Hamiltonians involved in the problem.

Ion-laser interaction in dispersive regimes: solution using squeeze operators

Arturo Zúñiga-Segundo, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We study the resonant interaction between a trapped ion and a laser field. By tuning the field intensity far away from the trapping frequency, namely low and high intensity regimes, we arrive at so-called dispersive Hamiltonians that may be simplified via the application of squeezing transformations. We analyse the system dynamics in phase space.

Exact solution of the ion‐laser interaction in all regimes

Arturo Zúñiga-Segundo, R. Juárez‐Amaro, J.M. Vargas‐Martínez +1 more

Abstract We show that in the trapped ion‐laser interaction all the regimes may be considered analytically. We may solve not only for different laser intensities, but also away from resonance and from the Lamb‐Dicke regime. It is found a dispersive Hamiltonian for the high intensity regime, that, being diagonal, its evolution operator may be easily calculated.

Eigenestados exactos y estados entrelazados de un ión atrapado oscilando en dos dimensiones

I. Ramos-Prieto, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We show that it is possible to find exact eigenstates in the interaction between a trapped ion oscillating in two dimensions and they will be entangled states. We also show that the Hamiltonian that describes this interaction may be mapped to a quantum Rabi interaction Hamiltonian (for a two-level atom and two quantized fields) by means of a unitary transformation.

Engineering two-mode interactions in ion traps

Jörg Steinbach, Jason Twamley, P. L. Knight

We describe how two vibrational degrees of freedom of a single trapped ion can be coupled through the action of suitably chosen laser excitation. We concentrate on a two-dimensional ion trap with dissimilar vibrational frequencies in the $x$ and $y$ directions of motion and derive from first principles a variety of quantized two-mode couplings, concentrating on a linear coupling that takes excitations from one mode to another. We demonstrate how this can result in a state rotation, in which it is possible to transfer the motional state of the ion from, say, the $x$ direction to the $y$ direction without prior knowledge of that motional state.

Trapped atoms and ions

Jonathan A. Jones, Dieter Jaksch

As discussed in Part I of this book, a qubit can in principle be encoded using two energy levels in an atom or ion. These levels are frequently referred to as | g ⧽ and | e ⧽, suggesting the ground state and some excited state, but the actual choice of levels is made so as to optimize the behavior of the system, and it is common to use two hyperfine sublevels of the ground state. As usual, we will simply call the levels |0⧽ and |1⧽. A quantum computer must, of course, have more than one qubit, and this is achieved by using more than one atom or ion, with one qubit encoded on each physical object. In order to make this approach practical, however, it is essential to trap the atoms or ions so that they can be held in a well-controlled environment where they can easily be manipulated. This can be achieved using electric and magnetic fields. The use of trapped ions was one of the first proposals for building quantum computers, and is still one of the best developed. Proposals involving trapped atoms are slightly more recent, and have both substantial advantages and disadvantages in comparison with trapped ions. These differences can ultimately be traced back to the fact that ions interact strongly with their environment and have long-range interactions with one another, while atoms interact more weakly and over shorter ranges. Comparing and contrasting the two approaches provides a useful general introduction to the problems underlying many other proposals. Ion traps It is relatively easy to trap an ion as it will interact strongly with an electric field through the Coulomb interaction.

Approximate Solutions for the Ion-Laser Interaction in the High Intensity Regime: Matrix Method Perturbative Analysis

Braulio Misael Villegas-Martínez, H. M. Moya-Cessa, Francisco Soto

Abstract We provide an explicit expression for the second-order perturbative solution of a single trapped-ion interactingwith a lser field in the strong excitation regime. From the perturbative analytical solution, based on a matrix methodand a final normalization of the perturbed solutions, we show that the probability to find the ion in its excited statefits well with former results.

We describe how two vibrational degrees of freedom of a single trapped ion can be coupled through the action of suitably chosen laser excitation. We concentrate on a two-dimensional ion trap with dissimilar vibrational frequencies in the xxx and yyy directions of motion and derive from first principles a variety of quantized two-mode couplings, concentrating on a linear coupling that takes excitations from one mode to another. We demonstrate how this can result in a state rotation, in which it is possible to transfer the motional state of the ion from, say, the xxx direction to the yyy direction without prior knowledge of that motional state.
