Shot-noise-limited monitoring and phase locking of the motion of a single trapped ion.

چکیده
We perform a high-resolution real-time readout of the motion of a single trapped and laser-cooled Ba+ ion. By using an interferometric setup, we demonstrate a shot-noise-limited measurement of thermal oscillations with a resolution of 4 times the standard quantum limit. We apply the real-time monitoring for phase control of the ion motion through a feedback loop, suppressing the photon recoil-induced phase diffusion. Because of the spectral narrowing in the phase-locked mode, the coherent ion oscillation is measured with a resolution of about 0.3 times the standard quantum limit.

A trapped-ion phonon laser and the detection of ultra-weak forces
This dissertation reports on the demonstration of a mechanical analogue to an optical laser, a ”phonon laser”, using a single trapped ion. Furthermore, we show that the dynamics of this system are surprisingly sensitive to external fields; we demonstrate phase synchronization (”injection locking”) to an external signal by applying forces as weak as 5 yN (yocto=10). This enormous sensitivity mig...
متن کاملDynamical evolution of nonclassical properties in cavity quantum electrodynamics with a single trapped ion
In this paper, by considering a system consisting of a single two-level trapped ion interacting with a single-mode quantized radiation field inside a lossless cavity, the temporal evolution of the ionic and the cavity-field quantum statistical properties including photon-counting statistics, quantum fluctuations of the field quadratures and quantum fluctuations of the ionic dipole variables are...
متن کاملThe Transient Behavior of LC and Ring Oscillators under External Frequency Injection
In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Unipolar Code in Different Phase Modulations of Coherent Optical CDMA
binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) format is deployed where the phase is modulated by either an external phase-modulator or injection-locking methods. The phase limitation and the performance for both phase-modulations including multiple access interferences (MAI) in a shot-noise limited regime are studied and moderate penalty associated with the limited phase excursion is revealed.
