Stochastic Phase Switching of a Parametrically Driven Electron in a Penning Trap
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fluctuation-induced switching of driven bistable systems, far from equilibrium, has been the focus of theoretical analysis and analog circuit computations. A parametrically driven electron in a Penning trap is shown to be a nearly ideal experimental realization. Noise applied to this dynamic double well system produces random switching between two steady-state oscillations which differ in the oscillation phase by 180±.

Entangled State Reconstruction of an Electron in the Penning Trap
Entanglement [1] is one of the essential and most puzzling features of quantum mechanics. It is also the basic ingredient and resource of quantum informa tion processing: quantum teleportation [2, 3], quan tum dense coding [4], quantum cryptography [5], and quantum computation [6] are just a few examples of the possibilities offered by sharing quantum en tanglement. Recently, for example, it...
متن کاملDriven phase space holes and synchronized Bernstein, Greene, and Kruskal modes
The excitation of synchronized Bernstein, Greene, and Kruskal (BGK) modes in a pure electron plasma confined in Malmberg–Penning trap is studied. The modes are excited by controlling the frequency of an oscillating external potential. Initially, the drive resonates with, and phase-locks to, a group of axially bouncing electrons in the trap. These initially phase-locked electrons remain phase-lo...
متن کاملAutoresonant control of a pre-excited diocotron mode
A new method for the manipulation of a pre-excited l=1 diocotron mode in a pure electron plasma in a Malmberg-Penning trap is proposed and analyzed. The plasma is passively coupled to an external oscillatory circuit with slowly varying parameters. A threshold on the coupling strength is derived beyond which the plasma is continuously self-phase-locked to the external circuit. In the case of a l...
متن کاملTheory of the coplanar-waveguide Penning trap
A novel planar Penning trap is presented, which results from the projection of the well-known three-dimensional cylindrical trap onto the surface of a chip. The introduced trap is also a coplanar-waveguide cavity, similar to those used in circuit quantum electrodynamics experiments with superconducting two-level systems. It opens up the possibility of integrating a single trapped electron, or g...
متن کاملA treecode algorithm for simulating electron dynamics in a Penning-Malmberg trap
A treecode algorithm is presented for computing the electrostatic potential and electric field in a system of charged particles. The algorithm is grid-free and with N particles it reduces the operation count to O(N logN), as opposed to O(N2) which is required for direct summation of pairwise interactions. The key idea is to replace the particle–particle interactions by particle– cluster interac...
