Ultracold Lattice Gas Automata for Single Trapped Ion Interacting with a Laser Field

In the same context of lattice gauge theory, a notion of cellular automaton (CA) is considered as a description of the underlying dynamics of fields evaluated on a discrete lattice. The explorative approach of this work is initiated by taking the automata evolution as an elementary description of fields dynamics on one side and pivotal role of locality on other side to connect the notion of states and transformations to density operators in quantum electrodynamics. In order to parameterize the definition of proposed model in the context of lattice field theory the nonlinear interaction is introduced with neighboring cells. In this paper, analytical and explicit expression of atomic density matrix for single trapped ion interacting with laser field based on cellular automata dynamics are discussed. The definition is further explored by introducing some probabilistic theories as the theoretical framework then it is concluded that the graph of cellular automata in continuum time limit of the CA dynamics leads to Maxwell-Bloch equation.
