Ground-State Cooling of a Trapped Ion Using Long-Wavelength Radiation.
We demonstrate ground-state cooling of a trapped ion using radio-frequency (rf) radiation. This is a powerful tool for the implementation of quantum operations, where rf or microwave radiation instead of lasers is used for motional quantum state engineering. We measure a mean phonon number of n[over ¯]=0.13(4) after sideband cooling, corresponding to a ground-state occupation probability of 88(...
متن کاملMotional Quantum Error Correction
Is it possible to preserve quantum coherence in systems that are irreversibly coupled to the environment? Apart from being of fundamental interest, this question is of particular significance in the area of quantum information processing [1], where the first two-bit quantum gate operations have been demonstrated in quantum optical systems such as trapped ions [2], and optical cavities [3]. In t...
متن کاملLight-shift-induced quantum gates for ions in thermal motion.
An effective interaction between trapped ions in thermal motion can be generated by illuminating them simultaneously with a single laser resonant with the ionic carrier frequency. The ac Stark shift induces simultaneous "virtual" two-phonon transitions via several motional modes. Within a certain laser intensity range these transitions can interfere constructively, resulting in a relatively fas...
متن کاملSelective interactions in trapped ions: state reconstruction and quantum logic
We propose the implementation of selective interactions of atom-motion subspaces in trapped ions. These interactions yield resonant exchange of population inside a selected subspace, leaving the others in a highly dispersive regime. Selectivity allows us to generate motional Fock (and other nonclassical) states with high purity out of a wide class of initial states, and becomes an unconventiona...
متن کاملRotation sensing with trapped ions
We present a protocol for using trapped ions to measure rotations via matter-wave Sagnac interferometry. The trap allows the interferometer to enclose a large area in a compact apparatus through repeated round-trips in a Sagnac geometry. We show how a uniform magnetic field can be used to close the interferometer over a large dynamic range in rotation speed and measurement bandwidth without los...
