Research on the ions' axial temperature of a sympathetically-cooled 113Cd+ ion crystal

Molecular dynamics simulation of a sympathetically-cooled ¹¹³Cd⁺ ion crystal system is achieved. Moreover, the relationship between ions' axial temperature and different electric parameters, including radio frequency voltage and end-cap voltage is depicted. Under stable trapping condition, optimum radio frequency voltage, corresponding to minimum temperature and the highest cooling efficiency, is obtained. The temperature is positively correlated with end-cap voltage. The relationship is also confirmed by a sympathetically-cooled ¹¹³Cd⁺ microwave clock. The pseudo-potential model is used to illustrate the relationship and influence mechanism. A reasonable index, indicating ions' temperature, is proposed to quickly estimate the relative ions' temperature. The investigation is helpful for ion crystal investigation, such as spatial configuration manipulation, sympathetic cooling efficiency enhancement, and temporal evolution.     

化难为简数个数

周末,爸爸妈妈带我去海边玩.可是"天有不测风云",台风光顾,我们的游玩计划泡了汤,只能窝在酒店里. 我百无聊赖地从酒店房间往外看,突然发现沙滩上有一块巨大的电子屏幕.仔细一瞧,原来整个大屏幕是由一些长方形的小屏幕组成的.我赶紧把这一大发现告诉妈妈.妈妈问道:"如果把一块小屏幕看成一个小长方形,你能算出这块大屏幕里一共有...     

光子学逆向设计研究进展（特邀）

人工设计的光子学器件在现代光学的各个领域都有广阔的应用前景。传统光子学器件的设计通常是基于已知的物理模型，然后通过数值模拟方法对结构进行优化设计。由于器件结构很大程度上依赖于先验模型，所以传统优化设计的自由度是有限的。随着近年来对高性能光子学器件需求的日益增长，具有更高设计自由度的逆向设计方法得到了快速发展。逆向设计方法打破了传统方法的设计局限性，可以在全参数空间中实现高效的参数优化，因此更可能得到具有极限性能的器件结构。本文总结了光子学器件逆向设计的常用方法，并给出了逆向设计在各个光子学领域中的具体应用。随着计算机科学的不断发展，逆向设计方法展现出无与伦比的潜力，有望在各个光学领域中实现更高自由度的光场调控。
