Quantum jumps, ion crystals, and solid plasmas

Abstract

Atomic ions which are stored in electromagnetic traps and laser cooled can be confined for long periods of time (hours) end localized in space to ≪1 µm. This allows nearly continuous observation of the same atom by, for example, detecting the fluorescence from a laser driven strongly allowed electric dipole transition. Assume one or the levels of this strong transition is coupled to a metastable energy level by another laser or by radiative decay out of the upper level of the strong transition.
