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

Nonclassical states and measurement of general motional observables of a trapped ion. (1997)
Journal Article
Gardiner, S., Cirac, J., & Zoller, P. (1997). Nonclassical states and measurement of general motional observables of a trapped ion. Physical Review A, 55(3), 1683-1694. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.55.1683

We describe a method to perform a single quantum measurement of an arbitrary motional observable of a single ion moving in a harmonic potential. We illustrate the measurement procedure with explicit examples, namely the position and phase observables...
