Spin coherence excitation and rephasing with optically shelved atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the use of resonant optical Raman pulses to excite and rephase ground state spin coherences via the partial storage or shelving of atoms. Unlike direct-rf-excited spin echoes or off-resonant Raman echoes, the resonant Raman optical field efficiently excites and rephases the spin coherence using p and 2p pulses, respectively. In a crystal of Pr doped Y2SiO5, we experimentally observe spin echo efficiency as high as 46% of the free induction decay signal. @S0163-1829~98!50142-7#

Thermal effect and role of entanglement and coherence on excitation transfer in a spin chain
We analyze the role of bath temperature, coherence and entanglement on excitation transfer in a spin chain induced by the environment. In Markovian regime, we show that coherence and entanglement are very sensitive to bath temperature and vanish in time in contrary to the case of having zero-temperature bath. That is while, finding the last qubit of the chain in excited state increases by incre...
متن کاملAtom phase-locked coherence conversion using optical locking for ultralong photon storage beyond the spin T2 constraint
Using on-demand coherence conversion via optical locking, a dynamic coherent control of the collective atom phase has been demonstrated for longer photon storage beyond the critical constraint of spin phase decay time, where the storage time can be extended up to hours in a rare-earth-doped solid. Coherent transient phenomena such as photon echoes have been investigated for frozen phase decay v...
متن کاملCoherence and Rydberg Blockade of Atomic Ensemble Qubits.
We demonstrate |W⟩ state encoding of multiatom ensemble qubits. Using optically trapped Rb atoms, the T_{2} coherence time is 2.6(3) ms for N[over ¯]=7.6 atoms and scales approximately inversely with the number of atoms. Strong Rydberg blockade between two ensemble qubits is demonstrated with a fidelity of 0.89(1), and with a fidelity of ∼1.0 when postselected on a control ensemble excitation. ...
متن کاملSimulations using echo sequences to observe coherence in a cold Rydberg gas
We simulate the effect of special excitation pulses on a cold gas of atoms. First, a rotary echo sequence is used to examine the coherent nature of a frozen Rydberg gas. If collective excitation and de-excitation is present with little or no source of dephasing, after these pulses the system should be returned to a state with few excitations, and a strong echo signal should occur. We investigat...
متن کاملSelective optical control of electron spin coherence in singly charged GaAs-Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum dots.
Coherent transient excitation of the spin ground states in singly charged quantum dots creates optically coupled and decoupled states of the electron spin. We demonstrate selective excitation from the spin ground states to the trion state through phase sensitive control of the spin coherence via these three states, leading to partial rotations of the spin vector. This progress lays the ground w...
