Abstract

We present a method of treating the problem of the interaction of a single trapped ion with laser beams based on successive applications of unitary transformations onto the Hamiltonian. This allows the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian, by means of recursive relations, without performing the Lamb-Dicke approximation.

In this paper we investigate the interaction of a single ion in a trap with laser beams. Our approach, based on unitary transformating the Hamiltonian, allows its exact diagonalization without performing the Lamb-Dicke approximation. We obtain a transformed Jaynes-Cummings-type Hamiltonian, and we demonstrate the existence of super-revivals in that system.

We have studied the nonlinear model for interaction of N ions in a trap with a laser beam. By applying two successive unitary transformations, the system can be transformed into the Dicke-type model. An approximate solution is obtained with application of the SU(2) algebras.

We have studied the nonlinear model for interaction of N ions in a trap with a laser beam. By applying two successive unitary transformations, this nonlinear quantum system can be transformed into the multi-levels Jayness–Cummings model. In the end, we can obtain an analytical solution to the two-ion system without performing the Lamb–Dicke approximation, and observe the super-revival phenomenon.

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.
