Paul阱中一维两离子系统的能带结构

利用熟知的级数截断方法，设计数值程序计算了线形Paul阱中库仑关联的两离子系统Schrdinger方程的精确解，得到接近目前离子阱实验能够实现的阱频下系统分立的运动态波函数和能谱，它们对应于阱频值的一个无穷可数的点集.在该点集内两相邻点之间连续变化阱频，由量子微扰法得到以精确分立谱为基础的能带结构，包括较宽的能隙和较窄的带宽.能带结构的存在将影响以该系统为基础的量子逻辑操作和激光边带冷却等问题，应该在实验研究中加以考虑.

Energy band structure of two ions in a one-dimensional Paul trap

Making use of the well-known truncated-series method, we give a numerical program to calculate the exact solutions of two Coulomb-correlated ions confined in a linear Paul trap. The discrete motion state functions and energy spectra are obtained for the trap frequencies approaching the experimentally realizable limiting values, which correspond to a denumerable infinite point-set of the frequencies. Continuously varying the trap frequency between two neighboring points of the denumerable infinite set, from the quantum perturbation technique we find the energy-band structure based on the exact discrete spectra in which the bands are narrower and the gaps wider. The band structure can influence the laser cooling of Paul trapped ions and the quantum logic operation based on the system that should be considered in the corresponding experiments thereby.
