We present a scheme for employing a violet extended-cavity diode laser in experiments with single, trapped ions. For this the grating-stabilised laser is spatially and spectrally filtered and referenced to a Fabry–Pérot cavity. We measure an upper limit to the line width by observing a 305-kHz FWHM beat note with the second harmonic of a titanium sapphire laser. The laser is subsequently used to optically cool a single 40Ca+ ion close to the Doppler limit. PACS 03.67.Lx; 32.80.Pj; 42.55.Px 相似文献

An excited-state atom whose emitted light is backreflected by a distant mirror can experience trapping forces, because the presence of the mirror modifies both the electromagnetic vacuum field and the atom's own radiation reaction field. We demonstrate this mechanical action using a single trapped barium ion. We observe the trapping conditions to be notably altered when the distant mirror is translated across an optical wavelength. The well-localized barium ion enables the spatial dependence of the forces to be measured explicitly. The experiment has implications for quantum information processing and may be regarded as the most elementary optical tweezers. 相似文献

We demonstrate coherent coupling of the quadrupole S1/2D5/2 optical transition of a single trapped 40Ca+ ion to the standing wave field of a high-finesse cavity. The dependence of the coupling on temporal dynamics and spatial
variations of the intracavity field is investigated in detail. By precisely controlling the position of the ion in the cavity
standing wave field and by selectively exciting vibrational state-changing transitions the ion’s quantized vibration in the
trap is deterministically coupled to the cavity mode. We confirm coherent interaction of ion and cavity field by exciting
Rabi oscillations with short resonant laser pulses injected into the cavity, which is frequency-stabilized to the atomic transition.

The quadrupole S(1/2)-D(5/2) optical transition of a single trapped Ca+ ion, well suited for encoding a quantum bit of information, is coherently coupled to the standing wave field of a high finesse cavity. The coupling is verified by observing the ion's response to both spatial and temporal variations of the intracavity field. We also achieve deterministic coupling of the cavity mode to the ion's vibrational state by selectively exciting vibrational state-changing transitions and by controlling the position of the ion in the standing wave field with nanometer precision. 相似文献

We present a detailed theoretical and experimental study on the optical control of a trapped-ion qubit subject to thermally induced fluctuations of the Rabi frequency. The coupling fluctuations are caused by thermal excitation on three harmonic oscillator modes. We develop an effective Maxwell–Boltzmann theory which leads to a replacement of several quantized oscillator modes by an effective continuous probability distribution function for the Rabi frequency. The model is experimentally verified for driving the quadrupole transition with resonant square pulses. This allows for the determination of the ion temperature with an accuracy of better than 2% of the temperature pertaining to the Doppler cooling limit T D over a range from 0.5T D to 5T D . The theory is then applied successfully to model experimental data for rapid adiabatic passage (RAP) pulses. We apply the model and the obtained experimental parameters to elucidate the robustness and efficiency of the RAP process by means of numerical simulations. 相似文献

The present paper describes the experimental implementation of a measuring technique employing a slowly moving, near-resonant, optical standing wave in the context of trapped ions. It is used to measure several figures of merit that are important for quantum computation in ion traps and which are otherwise not easily obtainable. Our technique is shown to offer high precision, and also in many cases uses a much simpler setup than what is normally used. We demonstrate here measurements of (i)?the distance between two crystalline ions, in units of the standing wave period, (ii)?the Lamb–Dicke parameter, (iii)?the temperature of the ion crystal, and (iv)?the interferometric stability of a Raman setup. The exact distance between two ions, in units of standing wave periods, is very important for motional entangling gates, and our method offers a practical way of calibrating this distance in the typical laboratory situation. 相似文献
