Abstract

A single trapped 9Be+ ion is used to investigate Jaynes-Cummings dynamics for a two-level atomic system coupled to harmonic atomic motion. We create and investigate nonclassical states of motion including "Schrödinger-cat" states. A fundamental quantum logic gate is realized using the quantized motion and internal states as qubits. We explore some of the applications for, and problems in realizing, quantum logic based on multiple trapped ions.
