Demonstration of weak measurement based on atomic spontaneous emission.
We demonstrate a new type of weak measurement based on the dynamics of spontaneous emission. The pointer in our scheme is given by the Lorentzian distribution characterizing atomic exponential decay via emission of a single photon. We thus introduce weak measurement, so far demonstrated nearly exclusively with laser beams and Gaussian statistics, into the quantum regime of single emitters and s...
متن کاملDecoherence by spontaneous emission in atomic-momentum transfer experiments.
The influence of spontaneous emission on the dynamical localization in atomic momentum transfer observed in recent experiments is investigated. Our numerical and analytical results indicate that contrary to previous expectation quantum diffusion due to decoherence by spontaneous emission is non-negligible in the experimental regime and may actually be visible in the measured data. Modifications...
متن کاملInterference of Spontaneous Emission of Light from Two Atomic Ensembles
We demonstrate interference of spontaneous emission of light from two distant solid-state atomic ensembles, when both ensembles are coherently excited by a common laser source. Owing to a strong collective enhancement of the spontaneous emission, the atoms behave as ideal two-level quantum systems and no which-path information is left in the atomic ensembles after emission of a photon. This all...
متن کاملObservation of ground-state quantum beats in atomic spontaneous emission.
We report ground-state quantum beats in spontaneous emission from a continuously driven atomic ensemble. Beats are visible only in an intensity autocorrelation and evidence spontaneously generated coherence in radiative decay. Our measurement realizes a quantum eraser where a first photon detection prepares a superposition and a second erases the "which path" information in the intermediate state.
متن کاملCaesium and lanthanum suppression of signal fluctuation in flame atomic absorption and atomic emission spectrometry.
This article describes the concept of controlling and correcting interference resulting from flame instability and sample reduction in absorption atomic spectrometry with flame atomization. Using popular laboratory spectrometers, which enable simultaneous or fast sequential measurements of many elements in the course of a single analysis, methods of controlling and correcting problems with inst...
