SIMPRE1.2: Considering the hyperfine and quadrupolar couplings and the nuclear spin bath decoherence
2016
SIMPRE is a fortran77code which uses an effective electrostatic model of point charges to predict the magnetic behavior of rare-earth-based mononuclear complexes. In this manuscript, we present SIMPRE1.2, which now takes into account two further phenomena.Firstly, SIMPRE now considers the hyperfine and quadrupolar interactions within the rare-earth ion, resulting in a more complete and realistic set of energy levels and wave functions. Secondly,and in order to widen SIMPRE’s predictive capabilities regarding potential molecular spin qubits, it now includes a routine that calculates an upper-bound estimate of the decoherence time considering only the dipolar coupling between the electron spi…
Nondissipative Decoherence and Entanglement in the Dynamics of a Trapped Ion
2006
We study the robustness of the entanglement between the 2D vibrational motion and two ground state hyperfine levels of a trapped ion with respect to the presence of non-dissipative sources of decoherence.
Exploiting Clock Transitions for the chemical design of resilient molecular spin qubits
2021
Molecular spin qubits are chemical nanoobjects with promising applications that are so far hampered by the rapid loss of quantum information, a process known as decoherence. A strategy to improve this situation involves employing so-called Clock Transitions (CTs), which arise at anticrossings between spin energy levels. At CTs, the spin states are protected from magnetic noise and present an enhanced quantum coherence. Unfortunately, these optimal points are intrinsically hard to control since their transition energy cannot be tuned by an external magnetic field; moreover, their resilience towards geometric distortions has not yet been analyzed. Here we employ a python-based computational t…
The rotational spectrum of 17O2 up to the THz region
2016
Abstract The investigation of the pure rotational spectrum of the 17O2 isotopic species of molecular oxygen has been extended with respect to previous investigations to the submillimeter-wave region, from 230 GHz up to 1.06 THz. The resulting spectroscopic parameters, which have an accuracy comparable to that of the constants obtained from an updated isotopic invariant fit involving data for three electronic states and six isotopologues [Yu et al. High resolution spectral analysis of oxygen. IV. Energy levels, partition sums, bandconstants, RKR potentials, Franck–Condon factors involving the X 3 Σ g − , a 1 Δ g , and b 1 Σ g + states.

Spectator Effects in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory
1996
We present a complete analysis of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory Lagrangian at order $1/m^2$ in the leading logarithmic approximation, including effects induced by spectator quarks. At this order new correction terms appear in the effective Lagrangian, as four-quark operators containing both heavy and light quark fields. We compute the coefficients of these operators to one-loop order and in the leading-logarithmic approximation. Two of them break the heavy quark spin symmetry and we estimate their contribution to the hyperfine splitting of the heavy mesons in the factorization approximation. We find that they make a positive contribution to the hyperfine splitting of about 10% of the mea…
A phenomenological quark current for the study of the polarized structure function of the nucleon
1995
In the context of the quark model, a phenomenological expression for the electromagnetic interaction is derived in order to study the polarized structure function of the nucleon. The DHG value without hyperfine corrections and the asymptotic behaviour are reproduced.
Doubly heavy quark baryon spectroscopy and semileptonic decay
2006
Working in the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model we evaluate the spectra and semileptonic decay widths for the ground state of doubly heavy $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ baryons. We solve the three-body problem using a variational ansatz made possible by the constraints imposed by heavy quark spin symmetry. In order to check the dependence of our resultson the inter-quark interaction we have used five different quarkquark potentials which include Coulomb and hyperfine terms coming fromone-gluon exchange, plus a confining term. Our results for the spectra are in good agreement with a previous calculation done using a Faddeev approach. For the semileptonic decay our results for the total decay …
Influence of the time-coherence of light on the absorption lineshapes of low-pressure gases
2001
Abstract A property of ultrashort laser pulses, their redshift by interaction with matter, is extended to ordinary time-incoherent light by a change of the scale of time. It appears that the matter must be a gas at a pressure uncommonly low in the labs, and that the gas must have a hyperfine structure. The relative frequency shift is constant as a Doppler shift; the images are not blurred because the interaction is space-coherent. In the presence of a redshift, the absorption lines cannot be seen because they are as wide as the shift. This interaction may produce a part of the cosmological redshift, the energy lost at high frequencies being transferred to the 2.7 K radiation. The interactio…
Progress in Atomic Physics Experiments on Nuclear Properties
1992
The measurement of nuclear properties by atomic physics methods has influenced a great deal of our present understanding of the nuclear structure. This started from the discovery of the nuclear spin and magnetic moment, the observation of isotope shifts related to nuclear radii, and the resolution of quadrupole interaction effects in the hyperfine structures. The invention and improvement of many spectroscopic techniques has led to a comprehensive knowledge of the electromagnetic ground-state properties of all stable and many radioactive nuclides. On the other hand, the atomic and thus the nuclear masses of stable isotopes were determined very precisely by electromagnetic mass spectrometry.…
The magnetic hyperfine structure in the rotational spectrum of H2CNH
2010
Abstract The hyperfine structure in the ground-state rotational spectrum of methanimine was studied in the frequency range of 64–172 GHz by means of the Lamb-dip technique. This allowed to resolve, in some hyperfine components due to the 14N nucleus, doublets separated by only some tenth of kHz. We explain the splittings as due to magnetic interactions of the three protons with their molecular environment. The analysis of the experimental spectrum has been guided by quantum-chemical calculations of the hyperfine parameters.
