Fluorescence control through multiple interference mechanisms
E. Paspalakis, C. H. Keitel, P. L. Knight
We discuss the spontaneous emission from a coherently prepared and microwave driven doublet of potentially closely spaced excited states to a common ground level. Multiple interfer…
High-order nonlinearities in the motion of a trapped atom
S. Wallentowitz, W. Vogel, P. L. Knight
We study the counterpart to the multi-photon down conversion in the quantised motion of a trapped atom. The Lamb-Dicke approximation leads to a divergence of the mean motional exci…
Decoherence in nonclassical motional states of a trapped ion
M. Murao, P. L. Knight
The decoherence of nonclassical motional states of a trapped ion in a recent experiment is investigated theoretically. Sources of decoherence considered here destro…
Linear quantum trajectories: Applications to continuous projection measurements
K. Jacobs, P. L. Knight
We present a method for obtaining evolution operators for linear quantum trajectories. We apply this to a number of physical examples of varying mathematical complexity, in which t…
