Coherent states approach to Penning trap
نویسندگان
چکیده
By using a matrix technique, which allows to identify directly the ladder operators, the Penning trap coherent states are derived as eigenstates of the appropriate annihilation operators. These states are compared with the ones obtained through the displacement operator. The associated wave functions and mean values for some relevant operators in these states are also evaluated. It turns out that the Penning trap coherent states minimize the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. PACS: 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Sq, 37.10.Ty, 37.30.+i

High-fidelity quantum control using ion crystals in a penning trap
We provide an introduction to the use of ion crystals in a Penning trap [1, 2, 3, 4] for experiments in quantum information. Macroscopic Penning traps allow for the containment of a few to a few million atomic ions whose internal states may be used in quantum information experiments. Ions are laser Doppler cooled [1], and the mutual Coulomb repulsion of the ions leads to the formation of crysta...
متن کاملMacroscopic Coherence for a Trapped Electron
One of the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics is the exsistence of interfertence among quantum states which signs the difference between a superposition of states and a mixture of states. However, as soon as the superposition principle is extended to the macroscopic world the Schrödinger’s cat paradoxe [1] arises. Practically the visibility of such curious superposition states at macrosco...
متن کاملSingle Ca⺠ions in a penning trap for applications in quantum information processing
I report on work aimed towards realising Quantum Information Processing with single 40Ca+ ions in a Penning trap, where trapping is achieved using static electric and magnetic fields. Unlike RF traps, in the Penning trap there is no heating due to micromotion. Therefore the qubit should in principle have a longer decoherence time. However in the Penning trap, the internal levels of the ion shif...
متن کاملRotationally induced Penning ionization of ultracold pho- toassociated helium dimers
– We have studied photoassociation of metastable 2S1 helium atoms near the 2 S1-2 P2asymptote by both ion detection in a magneto-optical trap and trap-loss measurements in a magnetic trap. A detailed comparison between the results of the two experiments gives insight into the mechanism of the Penning ionization process. We have identified four series of resonances corresponding to vibrational m...
