Blue Growth Packet Cross-Scan - Ion-Trap Qubits: Sidebands, Shared Modes, and Fluorescence Readout Step by Step

The blue sideband scan shows a drive adding one shared motion packet at a time. Each row uses the same 10-joule drive and moves packet 0 to 1, 1 to 2, or 2 to 3, so the visual pattern is an upward step with a fixed energy gap. Real ion-trap drives need calibration, detuning checks, heating estimates, finite-shot readout, and uncertainty; this page is the pinned packet ledger only.

Blue sideband rows raise packet index by one with the same drive energy. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Blue sideband raises packet 0

The blue drive is ten joules and raises the packet from 0 to 1.

E_{\text{drive}}=10\ \text{J},\quad n:0\to1,\quad a=1

Blue sideband raises packet 1

The blue drive is ten joules and raises the packet from 1 to 2.

E_{\text{drive}}=10\ \text{J},\quad n:1\to2,\quad a=1

Blue sideband raises packet 2

The blue drive is ten joules and raises the packet from 2 to 3.

E_{\text{drive}}=10\ \text{J},\quad n:2\to3,\quad a=1

Blue rows move upward with the same ten-joule drive

The start packet changes, but the relation gap plus spacing stays fixed at ten joules and every displayed row is accepted.
