Quantum Optics with Trapped Ions

小行星9301571 本计画将利用一种新颖的线性射频离子阱来研究原子与场的相互作用。这种陷阱，结合激光冷却技术，将允许高精度的光谱研究被困离子。光谱学将用于研究基础物理学中的广泛实验，包括两个原子的荧光干涉，光学腔中原子的集体行为，以及单个和多个原子的光学双稳态。可能的扩展条件量子测量将被考虑。本研究的长期目标是单原子光学双稳态的实验研究。

9301571 Raizen This program will investigate atom-field interactions with trapped ions using a novel linear rf ion trap. This trap, combined with laser cooling techniques, will allow high accuracy in spectroscopic studies of trapped ions. The spectroscopy will be used to study a broad range of experiments in fundamental physics including interference of the fluorescence from two atoms, collective behavior of atoms in an optical cavity, and single and several atom optical bistability. Possible extensions to conditional quantum measurements will be considered. The long term goal of the proposed research is an experimental study of single atom optical bistability.
