Abstract

A new method to prepare dark squeezed states of the centre-of-mass motion of a trapped ion that interacts with a travelling wave light field is proposed. This method is based on modulation of the frequency of the travelling wave field. In addition, an experiment configuration about its preparation is proposed and discussed.

Preparation of dark squeezed states of the motion of a trappedion by modulation of phase of the standing light field

Feng Chen

A new method to prepare dark squeezed states of the motion of a trapped ion that interacts with a standing wave light field has been proposed.This method is based on modulation of the phase of the standing wave field.The dependence of the squeezed amplitude on the modulation amplitude is investigated.Choosing the appropriate modulating amplitude,we can produce the best squeezed vibrational state of the ion and find that its generation is companied by cancellation of the emitted fluorescence.In addition,an experiment configuration about its preparation is proposed and discussed.

We propose a scheme for preparing coherent squeezed states of motion in an ion trap based on the multichromatic excitation of a trapped ion by standing- and traveling-wave light fields. The squeezed state is produced when the beat frequency between two standing-wave light fields is equal to twice the trap frequency, and is indicated by a ``dark resonance'' in the fluorescence emitted by the ion.

(1) A technique for the preparation of Fock states of a harmonic oscillator strongly coupled to a single two-level atomic transition is proposed due to the observation of quantum jumps. Examples are taken from the fields of ion trapping and cavity QED, where number states of he quantized atomic motion and photon number states may be prepared respectively. (2) We discuss a scheme for preparing coherent squeezed states of motion in an ion trap based on the multichromatic excitation of a trapped ion by standing- and traveling-wave light fields. The squeezed state is produced when the beat frequency between two standing-wave light fields is equal to twice the trap frequency, and is indicated by a {open_quotes}dark resonance{close_quotes} in the fluorescence emitted by the ion.

Nonclassical Properties and Generation of Superposition State of Excited Coherent States of Motion of Trapped Ion

Zhong-Jie Wang Zhong-Jie Wang, Chao-Yang Fan Chao-Yang Fan

We have studied the intensity squeezing of superposition state of excited coherent states and proposed a new method to prepare superposition state of excited coherent states of vibrational motion of trapped ion. This method is based on the interaction of a single trapped ion with two traveling wave light fields with different frequencies. An obvious merit of this method is that it works without application of the perturbation theory.

Nonclassical properties and generation of excited entangled coherent states of motion of a trapped ion

Zhongjie Wang

We studied the two-mode squeezing of excited entangled coherent states and found that the deeper the two-mode squeezing, the larger the excitation number. In the end, we proposed a new method for preparing two-mode excited entangled coherent states of vibrational motion of a trapped ion by applying the interaction of a single two-mode trapped ion with many traveling wave light fields with different frequencies.
