Towards storage rings as quantum computers

KA Brown, T Roser - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2020 - APS
We explore the possible use of particle beam storage rings as quantum computers. More
precisely, we consider creating an ion trap system, in which the same computational basis …

Reversible and irreversible emittance growth

PG O'Shea - Physical Review E, 1998 - APS
Emittance growth in bunched charged particle beams in linear accelerators is considered in
the case of a Hamiltonian system where nonlinear and time-dependent forces are dominant …

Relaxation to Boltzmann equilibrium of 2D Coulomb oscillators

C Benedetti, S Rambaldi, G Turchetti - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and …, 2006 - Elsevier
We propose a two-dimensional model of charged particles moving along the z-axis, on
which they are focused by a linear attracting field. The particles are organized into parallel …
