Algebras of length one

If $\A$ is an algebra over a field $\F$ and $\s$ is a generating set of $\A$, the length of $\s$ indicates the maximal length needed to express an arbitrary element of $\A$ as a linear combination of words in the elements of $\s$. The length of an algebra $\A$ is defined as the maximum of lengths of its generating sets. In this paper (not necessarily associative) algebras, over fields of arbitrary characteristic, having length equal to 1 are determined.

Engineering phonon-photon interactions with a driven trapped ion in a cavity

We show how to generate quadratic and bi-quadratic phonon-photon interactions through a driven three-level ion inside a cavity. With such a system it is possible to squeeze the cavity-field state, the ion motional state or even the entangled phonon-photon state. We present a detailed analysis of the cavity-field squeezing process, distinguishing three different regimes of this amplification mechanism: the subcritical, critical, and supercritical regimes, which depend, apart from the coupling parameters, on the excitation of the vibrational state. As an application of the engineered Hamiltonians, we show how to implement a Fock-state filter for the vibrational mode. New aspects of the technique of adiabatic elimination emerge in this analysis.
