电子激发冷离子晶体

Electronically excited cold ion crystals

Weibin Li, Igor Lesanovsky

摘要:

激光将离子晶体激发到高电子态和长寿命电子态是一个真正的多体过程,即使实际上只有一个离子被激发。这是内部和外部动力学之间强耦合的直接表现,并且在结构相变附近变得最明显。在这里,我们表明,利用高激发态提供了一种新的方法来相干操纵离子晶体。这允许研究依赖于电子和振动动力学之间的强耦合的现象,并开辟了一条通往保罗陷阱中分子过程的量子模拟的途径。

英文摘要:

The laser excitation of an ion crystal to high lying and long-lived electronic states is a genuine many-body process even if in fact only a single ion is excited. This is a direct manifestation of the strong coupling between internal and external dynamics and becomes most apparent in the vicinity of a structural phase transition. Here we show that utilizing highly excited states offers a new approach to the coherent manipulation of ion crystals. This permits the study of phenomena which rely on a strong coupling between electronic and vibrational dynamics and opens up a route towards the quantum simulation of molecular processes in a Paul trap.
