Generalized Stern-Gerlach effect for chiral molecules.
The Stern-Gerlach effect is well known as spin-dependent splitting of a beam of atoms with magnetic moments by a magnetic-field gradient. Here, we show that an induced gauge potential may lead to a similar effect for chiral molecules. In the presence of three inhomogeneous light fields, the center of mass of a three-level chiral molecule is subject to an optically induced gauge potential, and t...
متن کاملSpin and the Stern - Gerlach Experiment
The word “quantum” means a single share or portion. In quantum mechanics, this means that energy comes in discrete chunks, or quanta, rather than a continuous flow. But it also means that particles have other properties that are discrete in a way that’s deeply counterintuitive. Today I want to tell you about one such property, called spin, and the experiment that discovered it: the Stern-Gerlac...
متن کاملA Stern-Gerlach experiment for slow light
Electromagnetically induced transparency allows for light transmission through dense atomic media by means of quantum interference1. Media exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency have very interesting properties, such as extremely slow group velocities2-4. Associated with the slow light propagation are quasiparticles, the so-called dark polaritons, which are mixtures of a photonic a...
متن کاملTransverse Quantum Stern–Gerlach Magnets for Electrons
In the Stern–Gerlach experiment, silver atoms were separated according to their spin state (Gerlach and Stern 1922 Z. Phys. 9 353–355). This experiment demonstrates the quantization of spin and relies on the classical description of motion. However, so far, no design has led to a functional Stern–Gerlach magnet for free electrons. Bohr and Pauli showed in the 1930 Solvay conference that Stern–G...
متن کاملA Microscopic Stern-Gerlach Magnet for Electrons?
We discuss the possibility of realizing a microscopic Stern--Gerlach magnet for electrons using counter-propagating bichromatic laser light. Absorption of two photons with frequency 0) combined with stimulated emission of one photon with frequency 2w allows for the conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum, The possibility of constructing such a device appears to be an open question,
