Single Atom and Two Atom Ramsey Interferometry with Quantized Fields
Implications of field quantization on Ramsey interferometry are discussed and general conditions for the occurrence of interference are obtained. Interferences do not occur if the fields in two Ramsey zones have precise number of photons. However in this case it is shown how an analog of Hanbury-Brown Twiss photon-photon correlation interferometry can be used to discern a variety of interferenc...
متن کاملUltrafast spin-motion entanglement and interferometry with a single atom.
We report entanglement of a single atom's hyperfine spin state with its motional state in a time scale of less than 3 ns. We engineer a short train of intense laser pulses to impart a spin-dependent momentum transfer of ± 2 ħk. Using pairs of momentum kicks, we create an atomic interferometer and demonstrate collapse and revival of spin coherence as the motional wave packet is split and recombi...
متن کاملMultiaxis inertial sensing with long-time point source atom interferometry.
We show that light-pulse atom interferometry with atomic point sources and spatially resolved detection enables multiaxis (two rotation, one acceleration) precision inertial sensing at long interrogation times. Using this method, we demonstrate a light-pulse atom interferometer for 87Rb with 1.4 cm peak wave packet separation and a duration of 2T=2.3 s. The inferred acceleration sensitivity of ...
متن کاملSingle Atom Electron Emission from the Silicon Tip Coated by Calcium Fluoride with Samarium Dopant Ions
We present the first experimental results of the studying of field electron emission from sharp silicon tips covered by thin dielectric CaF2 layers containing Sm dopant ions. Some indications on the resonant tunneling of electrons from sharp silicon tip through dopant samarium ions inside the coating have been observed, which can be regarded as an implementation of one-atom electron source of a...
متن کاملDynamics of a single-atom electron pump
Single-electron pumps based on isolated impurity atoms have recently been experimentally demonstrated. In these devices the Coulomb potential of an atom creates a localised electron state with a large charging energy and considerable orbital level spacings, enabling robust charge capturing processes. In contrast to the frequently used gate-defined quantum dot pumps, which experience a strongly ...
