Atomic Qubit Manipulations with an Electro-Optic Modulator

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We report new techniques for driving high-fidelity stimulated Raman transitions in trapped ion qubits. An electro-optic modulator induces sidebands on an optical source, and interference between the sidebands allows coherent Rabi transitions to be efficiently driven between hyperfine ground states separated by 14.53 GHz in a single trapped 111Cd+ ion.
