Operator-based derivation of phonon modes and characterization of correlations for trapped ions at zero and finite temperature
We present a self-contained operator-based approach to derive the spectrum of trapped ions. This approach provides the complete normal form of the low-energy quadratic Hamiltonian in terms of bosonic phonons, as well as an effective free-particle degree of freedom for each spontaneously broken spati...
