Series Solution of a Trapped Ultracold Ion in a Raman-Type Configuration
Feng Mang, Xiwen Zhu, Kelin Gao +1 more
The Raman interaction of a trapped ultracold ion with two traveling wave lasers is studied analytically by series expansion technique without the need of rotating wave approximation and the limitations of both the Lamb–Dicke limit and the weak excitation regime. As an example, a scheme for the preparation of Schrödinger-cat states in such a process is proposed beyond the weak excitation regime.
