Dynamical Stability and Quantum Chaos of Ions in a Linear Trap

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The realization of a paradigm chaotic system, namely the harmonically driven oscillator, in the quantum domain using cold trapped ions driven by lasers is theoretically investigated. The simplest characteristics of regular and chaotic dynamics are calculated. The possibilities of experimental realization are discussed.
