Entanglement Generation Using Discrete Solitons in Coulomb Crystals
Entanglement Generation Using Discrete Solitons in Coulomb Crystals
Laser-cooled and trapped ions can crystallize and feature discrete solitons that are nonlinear, topologically protected configurations of the Coulomb crystal. Such solitons, as their continuum counterparts, can move within the crystal, while their discreteness leads to the existence of a gap-separated, spatially localized motional mode of oscillation above the spectrum. …
