Abstract
A novel scheme for the preparation of non-classical states of motion in a three-dimensional harmonic ion trap is proposed. The technique is based on adiabatic passage along dressed energy levels of the strongly coupled ion + trap system by varying the laser frequency. For an observation of these non-classical states we propose to measure quantum collapse and revival in the population inversion of a single trapped ion.

By low excitation we mean that transitions only take place under close-to-resonance excitation. For transitions |n〉 → |n〉, |n ± 1〉 this is the case for Ω sin(φ), Ωη cos(φ) ≪ ν.
