Trapped ions interacting with laser fields: a perturbative analysis without rotating wave approximation

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

The Hamiltonian describing a single ion placed in a potential trap in interaction with a laser beam is studied by means of a suitable perturbative approach. It is shown, in particular, that the rotating wave approximation does not provide the correct expression, at the first perturbative order, of the evolution operator of the system.
