Dynamical Localization in the Paul Trap

Quantum Physics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We show that quantum localization occurs in the center-of-mass motion of an ion stored in a Paul trap and interacting with a standing laser field. The present experimental state of the art makes the observation of this phenomenon feasible.
