Lindblad Approach to Nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings Dynamics of a Trapped Ion

Abstract

The Lindblad approach to open quantum systems is introduced for studying the dynamics of a single trapped ion prepared in nonclassical motional states and subjected to continuous measurement of its internal population. This results in an inhibition of the dynamics similar to the one occurring in the quantum Zeno effect. In particular, modifications to the Jaynes-Cummings collapses and revivals arising from an initial coherent state of motion in various regimes of interaction with the driving laser are dealt in detail.
