A Realistic Proposal for the Observation of Zeno Phenomena in the Dynamics of Trapped Ions
2001
A realistic experimental scheme for the observation of a continuous measurement Quantum Zeno Effect in the contest of single trapped ions is proposed. Our method relies on the nonlinearities characterizing the ionic Rabi frequency far from the Lamb-Dicke regime.
Giant Quantum Oscillators from Rydberg Atoms: Atomic Coherent States and Their Squeezing from Rydberg Atoms
1989
This paper summarises work since about 1979 by all the authors indicated: RKB is given prominence only because he bears the responsibility for the present paper. All the work has proved relevant to Rydberg atoms. Here we lay particular stress on recent results for squeezing by Rydberg atoms.
Jaynes-Cummings model with atomic position distribution
1995
The position as well as the width of the atomic wave packet passing through an optical cavity may affect the matter-field interaction. As a result, the internal dynamics of a two-level atom, such as the Rabi oscillations or the collapse and revival phenomenon, may be strongly modified with respect to the standard Jaynes-Cummings model. In particular, for a sufficiently large spread of the atomic position, the atomic population inversion displays the characteristic ringing behavior of the Bessel function ${\mathit{J}}_{0}$ differently from the usual full Rabi oscillation.
Generation of Pair Coherent States in Two-dimensional Trapped Ion
2001
We consider a two-dimensional (2D) trapped ion model in which two laser beams drive the corresponding vibrational motions and are carrier resonant with the two-level of the ion. Due to the coherent superposition of two sub-Rabi oscillations involved in the bimodal vibrations, the Rabi frequency degeneration and offset may occur in this model. This provides the possibility of generating the pair coherent state in the 2D trapped ion.
Non-Bloch decay of transient nutations in S=1/2 systems: An experimental investigation.
1993
The decay of transient nutations has been experimentally investigated in S=1/2 spin systems at microwave frequency: E' centers in silica and [${\mathrm{AlO}}_{4}$${]}^{0}$ centers in quartz have been studied. We have found that the damping is well described by a single exponential decay function, as expected from a ${\mathit{T}}_{1}$-${\mathit{T}}_{2}$ model (Bloch model). However, the agreement is only qualitative. In fact the measured decay rate \ensuremath{\Gamma} is faster than expected and depends on the driving-field amplitude: it tends to the Bloch value ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}}_{\mathit{B}}$=1/2${\mathit{T}}_{2}$ in the low-power limit and becomes faster and faster on increas…
Coherent aspects of the local dipolar field in echo dynamics: A spectral narrowing effect.
1996
We have measured the spectral content of the echo radiation emitted by a two-level spin system ([${\mathrm{AlO}}_{4}$${]}^{0}$ centers in quartz), after a two-pulse excitation sequence, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{1}$-\ensuremath{\tau}-${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{2}$. In general, the experimental spectral shapes reproduce qualitatively those calculated for an inhomogeneous system of noninteracting spins. However, we found that in certain ranges of the sequence parameters (${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{1}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{2}$, and \ensuremath{\tau}) the widths of the experimental spectra are less than expected by a factor that amounts up to 0.5. The observed na…
Nonlinear magneto-optical resonances atD1excitation ofRb85andRb87in an extremely thin cell
2010
Nonlinear magneto-optical resonances have been measured in an extremely thin cell (ETC) for the ${D}_{1}$ transition of rubidium in an atomic vapor of natural isotopic composition. All hyperfine transitions of both isotopes have been studied for a wide range of laser power densities, laser detunings, and ETC wall separations. Dark resonances in the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) were observed as expected when the ground-state total angular momentum ${F}_{g}$ was greater than or equal to the excited-state total angular momentum ${F}_{e}$. Unlike the case of ordinary cells, the width and contrast of dark resonances formed in the ETC dramatically depended on the detuning of the laser from th…
An algebraic approach to the Tavis-Cummings problem
2002
An algebraic method is introduced for an analytical solution of the eigenvalue problem of the Tavis-Cummings (TC) Hamiltonian, based on polynomially deformed su(2), i.e. su_n(2), algebras. In this method the eigenvalue problem is solved in terms of a specific perturbation theory, developed here up to third order. Generalization to the N-atom case of the Rabi frequency and dressed states is also provided. A remarkable enhancement of spontaneous emission of N atoms in a resonator is found to result from collective effects.
Effective Landau-Zener transitions in circuit dynamical Casimir effect with time-varying modulation frequency
2016
We consider the dissipative single-qubit circuit QED architecture in which the atomic transition frequency undergoes a weak external time-modulation. For sinusoidal modulation with linearly varying frequency we derive effective Hamiltonians that resemble the Landau-Zener problem of finite duration associated to a two- or multi-level systems. The corresponding off-diagonal coupling coefficients originate either from the rotating or the counter-rotating terms in the Rabi Hamiltonian, depending on the values of the modulation frequency. It is demonstrated that in the dissipation less case one can accomplish almost complete transitions between the eigenstates of the bare Rabi Hamiltonian even f…
Fast and robust population transfer in two-level quantum systems with dephasing noise and/or systematic frequency errors
2013
We design, by invariant-based inverse engineering, driving fields that invert the population of a two-level atom in a given time, robustly with respect to dephasing noise and/or systematic frequency shifts. Without imposing constraints, optimal protocols are insensitive to the perturbations but need an infinite energy. For a constrained value of the Rabi frequency, a flat $\pi$ pulse is the least sensitive protocol to phase noise but not to systematic frequency shifts, for which we describe and optimize a family of protocols.
