Dark pair coherent states of the motion of a trapped ion.
We propose a scheme for generating vibrational pair coherent states of the motion of an ion in a two-dimensional trap. In our scheme, the trapped ion is excited bichromatically by three laser beams along different directions in the X-Y plane of the ion trap. We show that if the initial vibrational state is given by a two-mode Fock state, the final steady state, indicated by the extinction of th...

متن کاملTopological phases and circulating states of Bose-Einstein condensates
We show that the quantum topological effect predicted by Aharonov and Casher (AC effect) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 319 (1984)] may be used to create circulating states of magnetically trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). A simple experimental setup is suggested based on a multiply connected geometry such as a toroidal trap or a magnetic trap pinched by a blue-detuned laser. We give numer...
متن کاملVariational Thomas - Fermi Theory of a Nonuniform Bose Condensate at Zero Temperature
We derive a description of the spatially inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate which treats the system locally as a homogeneous system. This approach, similar to the ThomasFermi model for the inhomogeneous many-particle fermion system, is well-suited to describe the atomic Bose-Einstein condensates that have recently been obtained experimentally through atomic trapping and cooling. In this pap...
متن کاملAtomic Fock state preparation using Rydberg blockade.
We use coherent excitation of 3-16 atom ensembles to demonstrate collective Rabi flopping mediated by Rydberg blockade. Using calibrated atom number measurements, we quantitatively confirm the expected √N Rabi frequency enhancement to within 4%. The resulting atom number distributions are consistent with an essentially perfect blockade. We then use collective Rabi π pulses to produce N=1, 2 ato...
