I use a Black and Decker electric edger for doing this. It is
"convertible" to a "trencher" and makes a cut about three inches deep.
I've used it for burying coax, ground radials, and so on. It does the
job well.

I have an electric edger out in the garage and I'll try to take a look
later and see if the guide that fits against the concrete of the
sidewalk can be removed to allow the thing to just cut a deep slit. It
might work for burying a wire. The slit that the rotating blade makes
isn't too wide, so it might be just the ticket for slipping a wire into.
The cutting depth is controlled by a rolling depth wheel, so you might
have to remove that and add a skid or something. It might take some
slight modification to get the thing perfected.
If an edger would work, you could cut sod pretty fast.
