Energy-level structure of ion cloud and crystal in a linear Paul trap

Ion cloud and crystal are recognized as two distinct states in ion traps, but there is no theory that can describe the energy-level structures of these two states from the perspective of quantum theory. In this paper, we construct a model describing ions in a linear Paul trap to investigate the ener...
