  • Thus in the fall of 1985 I joined Dave's single-ion cyclotron resonance experiment.

  • Lisbon, Portugal, and colleagues from the IST and Umea University in Umea, Sweden, have extended the concept of the single-ion phonon laser to the case of a large ensemble of atoms.

  • However, the single-ion phonon laser works somewhat differently than an optical laser, since the phonon frequency is determined by the single-atom oscillation frequency rather than corresponding to a collective oscillation.

  • In contrast with the single-ion case, here the phonon frequency is determined by the internal oscillations of the atoms in the gas, similar to how the photon frequency in a laser is determined by internal vibrations of the optical cavity.

  • It was a single-ion trap, just like the ones in the Caduceus Array, but David got the feeling that this device wasn’t a clock.
