内容: A single ion immersed in a neutral buffer gas is studied. An analytical model is developed that gives a complete description of the dynamics and steady-state properties of the ions. An extensio...
内容: Postprocessing for quantum random-number generators: Entropy evaluation and randomness extraction Quantum random-number generators (QRNGs) can offer a means to generate information-theoreticall...
内容: Ion traps are a versatile tool to study nonequilibrium statistical physics, due to the tunability of dissipation and nonlinearity.We propose an experiment with a chain of ions, where dissipatio...
内容: We presentmeasurements of trapped-ion motional-state heating rates in niobium and gold surface-electrode ion traps over a range of trap-electrode temperatures from approximately 4 K to room tem...
内容: Gathering data through measurements is at the basis of every experimental science. Ideally, measurements should be repeatable and, when extracting only coarse-grained data, they should allow th...
内容: Large nonlinearity at the single-photon level can pave the way for the implementation of universal quantum gates. However, realizing large and noiseless nonlinearity at such low light levels ha...
