Quantum simulation of neutrino oscillations with trapped ions
Abstract
We propose a scheme to simulate the dynamics of neutrino oscillations using trapped ions. For neutrinos in 1+1 dimensions, our scheme is experimentally implementable with existing trapped ion technology. We show that the three generation neutrino oscillations can be realized with three ions for 1+3 and 1+1 dimensions where the latter case only requires experimentally proven two-ion interactions. For this case, we discuss two setups utilizing different types of spin-spin interactions. Our method can be readily applied to two generation neutrino oscillations requiring fewer ions and lasers. We give a brief outline of a possible experimental scenario.
