Optical Bloch equations for simulating trapped-ion qubits

<p>This thesis describes work on numerical modelling of the <sup>43</sup>Ca<sup>+</sup> ion in a Paul trap using the optical Bloch equations. This is a challenging system to study, with many states involved in the internal dynamics. A major outcome is the development of...
