Dynamics of the interaction between a trapped three-level ion with a two-mode quantized field in the nonlinear regime in the presence of a Kerr medium

Navid Yazdanpanah, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

In this paper, the dynamical properties of a trapped three-level ion which interacts with a two-mode quantized field in the presence of a Kerr medium are studied. The ion-field coupling is also considered to be intensity-dependent (nonlinear interaction). In this respect, the Λ, V and ladder-type three-level ions are considered. Via solving the time-dependent Schörodinger equation, the state vectors of the corresponding ion-field systems are analytically obtained after choosing special initial conditions. In the continuation, the mean phonon number as a criterion of trapping energy, the population inversion as a criterion of exchanging energy (between the ion and the field) and the linear entropy as a criterion of entanglement between the trapped ion and the field are studied. To get more general insight about the interaction conditions, the effect of intensity-dependent ion-field coupling (nonlinearity regime) on the dynamics of system is investigated. Finally, by comparing the obtained results for the three configurations of trapped three-level ions with the previously considered two-level one, we conclude that the degree of entanglement for three-level ions is more than the two-level ion. Also, among the considered trapped ions, the ladder-type ion possesses the most amount of entanglement with the quantized field, whereas the Λ-type possesses the least. We also conclude that, the general temporal behaviour of the other considered quantities (mean phonon number and population inversion) are the same for all three types of trapped three-level ions.

Entanglement sudden birth of two trapped ions interacting with a time-dependent laser field

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty, Ting Yu

We explore and develop the mathematics of the two multi-level ions. In particular, we describe some new features of quantum entanglement in two three-level trapped ions confined in a one-dimensional harmonic potential, allowing the instantaneous position of the center-of-mass motion of the ions to be explicitly time-dependent. By solving the exact dynamics of the system, we show how survivability of the quantum entanglement is determined by a specific choice of the initial state settings.

Information entropy of a time-dependent three-level trapped ion interacting with a laser field

Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty

Trapped and laser-cooled ions are increasingly used for a variety of modern high-precision experiments, frequency standard applications and quantum information processing. Therefore, in this communication we present a comprehensive analysis of the pattern of information entropy arising in the time evolution of an ion interacting with a laser field. A general analytic approach is proposed for a three-level trapped-ion system in the presence of the time-dependent couplings. By working out an exact analytic solution, we conclusively analyse the general properties of the von Neumann entropy and quantum information entropy. It is shown that the information entropy is affected strongly by the time-dependent coupling and exhibits long time periodic oscillations. This feature attributed to the fact that in the time-dependent region Rabi oscillation is time dependent. Using parameters corresponding to a specific three-level ionic system, a single beryllium ion in a RF-(Paul) trap, we obtain illustrative examples of some novel aspects of this system in the dynamical evolution. Our results establish an explicit relation between the exact information entropy and the entanglement between the multi-level ion and the laser field. We show that different nonclassical effects arise in the dynamics of the ionic population inversion, depending on the initial states of the vibrational motion/field and on the values of Lamb–Dicke parameter η.
