Simplified model for double jumps in dipole-dipole interacting atoms — •Volker Hannstein and Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1. 37077 Göttingen

A simplified scheme for the investigation of cooperative effects in the quantum jump statistics of small numbers of atoms in a trap is presented, which generalizes previous work [1,2,3]. It allows the analytic treatment of three dipole-interacting four-level systems which model the level scheme of Ba⁺ ions for which extremely high cooperative effects have been reported to be measured in experiments. Our theoretical result show effects of maximum 5% and practically no effects for experimental parameter values. As a consequence the dipole-dipole interaction can be ruled out as an explanation for the measured large effects for three Ba⁺ ions [4].
