Influence of monolayer contamination on electric-field-noise heating in ion traps
A. Safavi-Naini, E. Kim, P. F. Weck +2
Electric field noise is a hinderance to the assembly of large scale quantum computers based on entangled trapped ions. Apart from ubiquitous technical noise sources, experimental s…

A microscopic model of electronic field noise heating in ion traps
A. Safavi-Naini, P. Rabl, P. Weck +1
Motional heating of ions in micro-fabricated traps is a challenge hindering experimental realization of large-scale quantum processing devices. Recently a series of measurements of…

Phase-noise induced limitations on cooling and coherent evolution in opto-mechanical systems
P. Rabl, C. Genes, K. Hammerer +1
We present a detailed theoretical discussion of the effects of ubiquitous laser noise on cooling and the coherent dynamics in opto-mechanical systems. Phase fluctuations of the dri…
