Quantum Chaos in an Ion Trap: The Delta-Kicked Harmonic Oscillator.

Gardiner, S.A.; Cirac, J.I.; Zoller, P.

Abstract

We propose an experimental configuration, within an ion trap, by which a quantum mechanical delta-kicked harmonic oscillator could be realized, and investigated. We show how to directly measure the sensitivity of the ion motion to small variations in the external parameters.
