25. In fact, the average number of jumps obtained in the simulations is almost independent of n. In good agreement with the simple estimation formula |Ω|2(γ + γ′)t/Δ, see, e.g., D.J. Heinzen and D.J. Wineland, Phys. Rev. A 42, 2977 (1990), we obtain for a time t ≈ 100 μs an average number of about 0.95 jumps.
