Carrier and Sidebands

Blue Sideband Adds One Packet

The blue sideband adds one motional packet. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The sideband cites the trap gap and packet spacing

The trap source has gap 8 joules and spacing 2 joules.

Blue sideband adds one motional packet to the gap

The drive energy is 10 joules, taking packet 2 to packet 3.
