Quantum theory for phonon lasing and non-classical state generation in mixed-species and single trapped ions
David Baur, Tanja Behrle, Ivan Rojkov +4
In this article we present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of phonon lasing with mixed-species trapped ions, as demonstrated in [T. Behrle, Phys. Rev. Lett. 131 (2023)],…

Non-linear cooling and control of a mechanical quantum harmonic oscillator
Matteo Simoni, Ivan Rojkov, Matteo Mazzanti +7
Non-linearities are a key feature allowing non-classical control of quantum harmonic oscillators. However, when non-linearities are strong, designing protocols for control is often…

Modular variable laser cooling for efficient entropy extraction
Brennan de Neeve, Thanh-Long Nguyen, Alexander Ferk +5
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for laser cooling an oscillator based on sequences of spin-state-dependent displacements followed by spin repumping. For a therma…
