Abstract
A novel perturbative treatment of the time evolution
operator of a quantum system is applied to the model describing a
Raman-driven trapped ion in order to obtain a suitable
'effective model'. It is shown that the associated effective
Hamiltonian describes the system dynamics up to a certain
transformation which may be interpreted as a 'dynamical
dressing' of the effective model.
Key words:
perturbation theory; time-dependent problems; Raman couplings.
