Quantum-state manipulation via quantum nondemolition measurements in a two-dimensional trapped ion
The quantum nondemolition measurement is applied to a two-dimensional (2D) trapped-ion model in which two laser beams drive the corresponding vibrational motions and are carrier resonant with the two-level system of the ion. The information about the ionic vibrational energy can be detected by the occupation probability of the internal electronic level. The substantial difference of the 2D model from the one-dimensional one is that two orthogonal beams have a fixed phase shift instead of statistical independence. As a result, the atomic Rabi oscillation is involved in the coherent superposition of two sub-Rabi oscillations induced by the corresponding driving beams. This means that, in the …
Quantum Nondemolition Measurement and Quantum State Manipulation in Two Dimensional Trapped Ion
An extension of QNDmeasuremen t of the vibrational energy of the trapped ion from one dimensional case to the bidimensional one is presented. Our approach exploits the fixed phase difference existing between the two orthogonal and appropriately configured classical laser beams determining the vibronic coupling. We in fact show that this phase difference may play the role of an adjustable external parameter which allows to optimize the measurement scheme itself in terms of both precision and sensitivity. Our proposal provides a cooling method for the trapped ion from the vibrational thermal state. Due to the coherent superposition of two sub Rabi oscillations, the Rabi frequency degeneration…
Generation of Pair Coherent States in Two-dimensional Trapped Ion
We consider a two-dimensional (2D) trapped ion model in which two laser beams drive the corresponding vibrational motions and are carrier resonant with the two-level of the ion. Due to the coherent superposition of two sub-Rabi oscillations involved in the bimodal vibrations, the Rabi frequency degeneration and offset may occur in this model. This provides the possibility of generating the pair coherent state in the 2D trapped ion.
