Synthesizing a Sigma circumflex accent z spin-dependent force for optical, metastable, and ground-state trapped-ion qubits

A single bichromatic field near resonant to a qubit transition is typically used for σx or σy Mølmer-Sørensen-type interactions in trapped-ion systems. Using this field configuration, it is also possible to synthesize a σz spin-dependent force by merely adjusting the beat-note frequency. Here, we ex...
