Symmetries and solutions of the three-dimensional Paul trap

Quantum Physics 2015-06-26 v3

Abstract

Using the symmetries of the three-dimensional Paul trap, we derive the solutions of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for this system, in both Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates. Our symmetry calculations provide insights that are not always obvious from the conventional viewpoint.
