• Title: Prototype of a phonon laser with trapped ions
• Abstract summary: We propose a tunable phonon laser prototype with a large trapped ion array, where some of the ions are effectively pinned by optical tweezers. The cavity loss can then be controlled by the tweezer strength and the "wall thickness", the number of pinned ions for isolation.

• Abstract: We propose a tunable phonon laser prototype with a large trapped ion array, where some of the ions are effectively pinned by optical tweezers, thus isolating a subset of ions that mimics an acoustic cavity used as a phonon lasing resonator. The cavity loss can then be controlled by the tweezer strength and the "wall thickness", the number of pinned ions for isolation. We pump the resonator by applying blue-sideband lasers, and investigate the lasing dynamics of the cavity modes such as threshold behavior, population distribution, the second-order coherence, and line-narrowed spectrum. This scheme can be generalized to resonators consisting of multiple cavity modes formed by a few ions, where we demonstrate mode competition and synchronization as lasing modes have developed.

  We demonstrate a trapped-ion system with two competing dissipation channels, implemented independently on two ion species co-trapped in a Paul trap. By controlling coherent spin-oscillator couplings and optical pumping rates we explore the phase diagram of this system, which exhibits a regime analogous to that of a (phonon) laser but operates close to the quantum ground state with an average phonon number of $barn10$.

  We consider a high-Q microresonator with $chi(2)$ nonlinearity under conditions when the coupling rates between the sidebands around the pump exceed the damping rates. Using the dressed-resonator approach we demonstrate that this regime leads to the dominance of the Hermitian part of the operator driving the side-band dynamics.
