Ion trap transducers for quantum electromechanical oscillators
W. K. Hensinger, D. W. Utami, H. -S. Goan +3
An enduring challenge for contemporary physics is to experimentally observe and control quantum behavior in macroscopic systems. We show that a single trapped atomic ion could be u…
The Unruh effect in an Ion Trap: An Analogy
P. M. Alsing, J. P. Dowling, G. J. Milburn
We propose an experiment in which the phonon excitation of ion(s) in a trap, with a trap frequency exponentially modulated at rate , exhibits a thermal spectrum with an "Unruh"…
Communicating continuous quantum variables between different Lorentz frames
Pieter Kok, Timothy C. Ralph, Gerard J. Milburn
We show how to communicate Heisenberg-limited continuous (quantum) variables between Alice and Bob in the case where they occupy two inertial reference frames that differ by an unk…
Quantum Metrology: Detection of weak forces using Schrodinger Cat resources
Kae Nemoto, W. J. Munro, G. J. Milburn +1
We investigate the utility of non classical states of simple harmonic oscillators (a superposition of coherent states) for sensitive force detection. We find that like squeezed sta…
Generating optical nonlinearity using trapped atoms
Alexei Gilchrist, G. J. Milburn, W. J. Munro +1
We describe a scheme for producing an optical nonlinearity using an interaction with one or more ancilla two-level atomic systems. The nonlinearity, which can be implemented using…
Conditional phase shifts using trapped atoms
A. Gilchrist, G. J. Milburn
We describe a scheme for producing conditional nonlinear phase shifts on two-photon optical fields using an interaction with one or more ancilla two-level atomic systems. The condi…
