Simple experimental methods for trapped ion quantum processors

D. Stevens, J. Brochard, A. M. Steane

abstract: Two techniques are described that simplify the experimental requirements for measuring and manipulating quantum information stored in trapped ions. The first is a new technique using electron shelving to measure the populations of the Zeeman sublevels of the ground state, in an ion for which no cycling transition exists from any of these sublevels. The second technique is laser cooling to the vibrational ground state, without the need for a trap operating in the Lamb-Dicke limit. This requires sideband cooling in a sub-recoil regime. We present a thorough analysis of sideband cooling on one or a pair of sidebands simultaneously.
