Theory of the coplanar-waveguide Penning trap
نویسنده
چکیده
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 geonium atom, into quantum circuits. The trap is an elliptical Penning trap, with the magnetic field parallel to the chip’s surface. A design procedure is described, which permits the compensation of electric anharmonicities up to sixth order. This should render possible the observation of a single trapped electron and the accurate measurement of its eigenfrequencies, a sine qua non requirement for a useful planar geonium technology.

A Theory of Anharmonic Perturbations in a Penning Trap
Classical hamiltonian perturbation theory formulated in terms of action-angle variables is applied to develop a general and systematic method for calculating the influence of anharmonic perturbations on the motion of a charged particle in a Penning trap. Action-angle variables are ideally suited to determine the shifts of the characteristic frequencies in a perturbed orbit. The application of t...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANISATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH Ramsey Technique Applied in a Penning Trap Mass Spectrometer
The Ramsey method has been applied in an experiment aiming for accurate mass determination of unstable isotopes. The ion motion in a Penning trap has been excited with time-separated oscillatory elds and Ramsey fringes were observed in the case of dipole and quadrupole excitation. The experimental resonances are in good agreement with theory. Further applications of the technique are discussed....
متن کاملSearching for effects of Spatial Noncommutativity via a Penning Trap
The possibility of testing spatial noncommutativity via a Penning trap is explored. The case of both space-space and momentum-momentum noncommuting is considered. Spatial noncommutativity leads to the spectrum of the orbital angular momentum of a Penning trap possessing fractional values, and in the limits of vanishing kinetic energy and subsequent vanishing magnetic field, this system has non-...
متن کاملBounding CPT- and Lorentz-Violating Parameters in a Standard-Model Extension
A general theoretical framework that incorporates possible CPT and Lorentz violation in an extension of the standard model and in quantum electrodynamics has been developed over the last decade. The framework originates in the idea that CPT and Lorentz symmetry could be broken spontaneously in a more fundamental theory such as string theory. These symmetry violations are described in the standa...
متن کاملAnd the Penning Trap
This paper begins with some background information and a summary of results in atomic supersymmetry. The connection between the supersymmetric Coulomb and os-cillator problems in arbitrary dimensions is outlined. Next, I treat the issue of finding a description of supersymmetry-based quantum-defect theory in terms of oscillators. A model with an anharmonic term that yields analytical eigenfunct...
