How to realize a universal quantum gate with trapped ions
F. Schmidt-Kaler, H. Häffner, M. Riebe +7
We report the realization of an elementary quantum processor based on a linear crystal of trapped ions. Each ion serves as a quantum bit (qubit) to store the quantum information in…
Forces between a single atom and its distant mirror image
Pavel Bushev, Alex Wilson, Juergen Eschner +4
An excited-state atom whose emitted light is back-reflected by a distant mirror can experience trapping forces, because the presence of the mirror modifies both the electromagnetic…
Vacuum-field level shifts in a single trapped ion mediated by a single distant mirror
M. A. Wilson, P. Bushev, J. Eschner +4
A distant mirror leads to a vacuum-induced level shift in a laser-excited atom. This effect has been measured with a single mirror 25 cm away from a single, trapped barium ion. Thi…
