Abstract
To model the decoherence in ion traps resulting from laser intensity and phase fluctuations, we assume that the stochastic processes involved are white noise processes, which enables us to give a simple master equation description of this source of decoherence. We discuss the effects those fluctuations have on gate operations in ion-trap quantum computation and briefly address possible detection and error correction mechanisms.
