Quantum superposition of macroscopic persistent-current states.
Microwave spectroscopy experiments have been performed on two quantum levels of a macroscopic superconducting loop with three Josephson junctions. Level repulsion of the ground state and first excited state is found where two classical persistent-current states with opposite polarity are degenerate, indicating symmetric and antisymmetric quantum superpositions of macroscopic states. The two cla...
متن کاملRabi oscillations and macroscopic quantum superposition states
A two-level atom interacting with a single radiation mode is considered, without the rotating-wave approximation, in the strong coupling regime. It is shown that, in agreement with the recent results on Rabi oscillations in a Josephson junction (Y. Nakamura, Yu. A. Pashkin and J. S. Tsai, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 246601 (2001)), the Rabi frequency is indeed proportional to first kind integer order ...
متن کاملCreation of macroscopic quantum superposition states by a measurement
We propose a novel protocol for the creation of macroscopic quantum superposition (MQS) states based on a measurement of a non-monotonous function of a quantum collective variable. The main advantage of this protocol is that it does not require switching on and off nonlinear interactions in the system. We predict this protocol to allow the creation of multiatom MQS by measuring the number of at...
متن کاملDecoherence, environment-induced superselection, and classicality of a macroscopic quantum superposition generated by quantum cloning
The high resilience to decoherence shown by a recently discovered macroscopic quantum superposition MQS generated by a quantum-injected optical parametric amplifier and involving a number of photons in excess of 5 104 motivates the present theoretical and numerical investigation. The results are analyzed in comparison with the properties of the MQS based on and N-photon maximally entangled stat...
متن کاملMacroscopic superposition states in rotating ring lattices
We investigate the effects of rotation on one-dimensional ultracold bosons confined to optical ring lattices. First, we show that there exists a critical rotation frequency at which the ground state of a weakly-interacting and integer-filled atomic gas is fragmented into a macroscopic superposition state with different circulation. Second, we point out several advantages of using slightly non-u...
