Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a nanomechanically induced transparency (NIT) effects that arises from the coupling of a nanoelectromechanical system and a trapped ion. By confining the ion in mesoscopic traps and capacitively coupling it with a nanoelectromechanical system suspended as electrodes, the research is intricately focussed on the implications of including the ion's degrees of freedom. The Lamb--Dicke approximation is crucial to understanding the effects of phonon exchange with electronic qubits and revealing transparency phenomena in this unique coupling. The results underline the importance of the Lamb--Dicke approximation in modelling the effects of transparency windows in nanoelectromechanical systems.
