We show that dynamical localization of vibrational states occurs for an ion stored in a Paul trap and interacting with a standing laser field [1A]. The relation between the classical diffusion and the localization length is found to be of the same form as for the paradigm of dynamical localization, the kicked rotator.

Anisotropy-Induced Effects in the Dynamics of an Ion Confined in a Two-Dimensional Paul Trap

M. Scala, Benedetto Militello, Antonio Messina

We investigate the role of anisotropy in the dynamics of a single trapped ion interacting with two orthogonal laser beams, considering how it modifies a scheme for the generation of Schrödinger cat states and the so called parity effect in two-dimensional isotropic Paul traps. We find that anisotropy gives rise to a richer class for the generated states and to a larger number of observables sensitive to the parity of the number of excitation of the vibrational motion of the ion.

Dynamical Localization in the Paul Trap

We show that quantum localization occurs in the center-of-mass motion of an ion stored in a Paul trap and interacting with a standing laser field. The present state-of-the-art ion trap systems makes the experimental observation of this phenomenon feasible.
