• Authors: Bogdan M. Mihalcea,
• Abstract summary: We investigate quantum dynamics for an ion confined within an oscillating quadrupole field. It is established that the Hamilton equations of motion, in both Schr"odinger and Heisenberg representations, are equivalent to the Hill equation. The quantum states for trapped ions are demonstrated to be Fock (number) states, while the exact solutions of the Schr"odinger equation for a trapped ion are exactly the quasienergy states.

• Abstract: We investigate quantum dynamics for an ion confined within an oscillating quadrupole field, starting from two well known and elegant approaches. It is established that the Hamilton equations of motion, in both Schr\"{o}dinger and Heisenberg representations, are equivalent to the Hill equation. One searches for a linear independent solution associated to a harmonic oscillator (HO). An adiabatic invariant, which is also a constant of motion, is introduced based on the Heisenberg representation. Thus, the state of the non-autonomous system can be determined at any subsequent moment of time. The quantum states for trapped ions are demonstrated to be Fock (number) states, while the exact solutions of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a trapped ion are exactly the quasienergy states. Semiclassical dynamics is also investigated for many-body systems of trapped ions, where the wavefunction associated to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation is prepared as a Gauss package multiplied by a Hermite polynomial. We also discuss time evolution for the system under investigation and supply the propagator.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.
