We show how to design different couplings between a single ion trapped in a harmonic potential and an environment. The coupling is due to the absorption of a laser photon and subsequent spontaneous emission. The variation of the laser frequencies and intensities allows one to {open_quote}{open_quote}engineer{close_quote}{close_quote} the coupling and select the master equation describing the motion of the ion. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
