Quantum Optics with Trapped Ions

9301571 Rizen这个项目将使用一种新型的线性射频离子陷阱来研究原子-场与俘获离子的相互作用。这种陷阱与激光冷却技术相结合，将使捕获离子的光谱研究具有高精度。光谱学将用于研究基础物理中的广泛实验，包括两个原子的荧光干涉，原子在光腔中的集体行为，以及单个和几个原子的光学双稳。将考虑对条件量子测量进行可能的扩展。这项研究的长期目标是单原子光学双稳的实验研究。

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.
