Quantum Stochastic Heating of a Trapped Ion

Quantum Physics 2007-11-12 v1

Abstract

The resonant heating of a harmonically trapped ion by a standing-wave light field is described as a quantum stochastic process combining a coherent Schroedinger evolution with Bohr-Einstein quantum jumps. Quantum and semi-quantum treatments are compared.
