The equivalence of static and dynamic magnetic gradient induced coupling — •Sabine Wölk and Christof Wunderlich — Department Physik, Universität Siegen, 57068 Siegen, Germany

A laser-less interaction between internal and motional states of trapped ions can be induced by a static [1] or by a dynamic [2] magnetic gradient field. Taking advantage of such Magnetic Gradient Induced Coupling (MAGIC), conditional quantum dynamics with effective spin states and motional states can be carried out which is useful for a variety of experiments in quantum information science.

Here, we show that the coupling mechanism in the presence of a dynamic gradient is the same, in a dressed state basis, as in the case of a static gradient [3]. This insight can be used to overcome demanding experimental requirements when using a dynamic gradient field. At the same time it opens new experimental perspectives when using a dynamic gradient field by taking advantage of long range coupled ions, for example, for multi-qubit dynamics.
