✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A trapped ion in a leaky cavity is studied in the regime of strong atom‐field coupling. Particular emphasis is paid on nonlinearities due to smooth localization of the ion's wavefunction and on decoherence effects caused by spontaneous emission and cavity losses. Possibilities of quantum‐state preparation are analyzed and single‐ion lasing is considered.
