Abstract
We show how to design different couplings between a single ion trapped in a harmonic potential and an environment. The coupling is due to the absorption of a laser photon and subsequent spontaneous emission. The variation of the laser frequencies and intensities allows one to “engineer” the coupling and select the master equation describing the motion of the ion.Keywords
