Carrier and Sidebands

Carrier Matches the Internal Gap

Carrier drives change internal state without changing packet index. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

The sideband cites the trap gap and packet spacing

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

Carrier drive matches the internal gap and leaves motion unchanged

The drive energy is 8 joules, taking packet 2 to packet 2.
