atoms/ions (how to specify, what's available, etc)
vibrational modes (this is a chain, etc etc)
lasers
traps where we put them all together
that's how we construct the system
set up a calcium 40
do MS calculation (shared vibrational mode)
Examples
more pedagogical, code to re-use
joe likes the jupyter book.
Getting started
it's a good starting point already
The Hamiltonian -- constructing it is the whole point
Defining all the different objects -- some map of system parameters...
Goal for getting started: You can glance at it and it does something non-trivial!
Rabi flopping -- show that it matches quantum optics(?) (this could come first, then we go to MS)
Discussion: do we start with something "solvable" or something "nontrivial"?
Two different goals;
Figure out how to use it as quickly as possible...
Convince people that it's useful... (Joe prefers this)
another use case -- things that show off ionsim)
section: what does a trapped ion experimentalist do?
doppler cooling -->
optical pumping
... (standard procedure for preparing, then basic operations)
five example notebooks could explain all of this
Learn: A pedagogical introduction to the core concepts in Trapped ions (state preparation, single-ion operations, entanglement-operations).
