We apply estimation theory to a system formed by two interacting trapped ions. By using the Fisher matrix formalism, we introduce a simple scheme for estimation of the temperature of the longitudinal vibrational modes of the ions. We use…
The standard second-order pseudo-oscillator potential used in many analytical investigations of the properties of ions stored in a Paul trap has serious limitations. In this paper we show that ion-crystal configurations exhibited by 2, 3,…
Today's most sensitive experiments for detecting CP-violating permanent electric dipole moments (EDM) rely on molecular spectroscopy. The high sensitivity arises from large internal electric fields that interact with the constituents of the…
We recently reported on a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating optical trapping of an ion in a single-beam dipole trap superimposed by a static electric potential [Nat. Photonics 4, 772--775 (2010)]. Here, we first discuss the…
A method for the experimental reconstruction of the quantum state of motion for a single trapped ion is proposed. It is based on the measurement of the ground state population of the trap after a sudden change of the trapping potential. In…
The general expressions for parity violation observables in elastic scattering of polarized and/or unpolarized electrons from unpolarized deuterons are given and are numerically evaluated for the kinematics of SAMPLE, PVA4 and G0…
Experimental realizations of charged ions and neutral atoms in overlapping traps are gaining increasing interest due to their wide research application ranging from chemistry at the quantum level to quantum simulations of solid-state…
Trapped ions are considered one of the best candidates to perform quantum information processing. By interacting them with laser beams they are, somehow, easy to manipulate, which makes them an excellent choice for the production of…
Correlation functions measured as a function of $\Delta \eta, \Delta \phi$ have emerged as a powerful tool to study the dynamics of particle production in nuclear collisions at high energy. They are however subject, like any other…
The linear response of non-equilibrium systems with Markovian dynamics satisfies a generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation derived from time symmetry and antisymmetry properties of the fluctuations. The relation involves the sum of two…
The effect of geometrical perturbations on ion oscillation frequencies in a 3-D quadrupole trap is analyzed by theoretical simulations and compared with the experimental results. Theoretically, the distorted potential within this non-ideal…
The observation of fluctuations of parity-odd angular observables at RHIC has been interpreted as a signal of a local parity violation. We show how the observed signal can be explained by local charge conservation at freeze-out combined…
Synchronization is a hallmark of collective behavior that emerges when nonlinear systems interact, spanning scales from mechanical oscillators to planetary orbits. As a universal phenomenon it underpins the study of complex systems and has…
Joint measurements of non-commuting observables are characterized by unavoidable measurement uncertainties that can be described in terms of the error statistics for input states with well-defined values for the target observables. However,…
We introduce a scheme to perform dissipation-assisted quantum information processing in ion traps considering realistic decoherence rates, for example, due to motional heating. By means of continuous sympathetic cooling, we overcome the…
Comparing proposed quantities to analyze charged particle fluctuations in heavy ion experiments we find the dispersion of the charges in a central rapidity box as best suited. Various energies and different nuclear sizes were considered in…
In this paper, we investigate the motion of a set of charged particles acted upon by a growing electrostatic wave, in the limit when the initial wave amplitude is vanishingly small and when all the particles have the same initial action,…
The presence of charged particles in an ion trap modifies the harmonic trapping potential in which they are trapped, leading to observed shifts in secular frequency as well as appearance of collective oscillation. In a linear trap geometry,…
An entangled state prepared in a decoherence free sub-space together with a Ramsey type measurement can probe parity violation in heavy alkali ions like Ba+ or Ra+. Here we propose an experiment with Ba+ as an example to measure the small…
The electrical conductivity in dense plasmas can be calculated with the relaxation-time approximation provided that the interaction potential between the scattering electron and the ion is known. To date there has been considerable…
