Decoherence by spontaneous emission in atomic-momentum transfer experiments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 of the experiments to strengthen this point are proposed. @S1050-2947~96!03412-9#

Momentum Transfer to Atoms by Absorption and Emission of Radiation
We report on measurement of momentum transfer to an atomic sodium beam by a standingwave laser field. Experiments were performed in two regimes: 1) the regime in which spontaneous emission is negligible; and 2) the regime in which the effects of spontaneous decay dominate the momentum transfer process. In the first regime, we observe diffraction of the atomic beam: the near-resonant Kapitza-Dir...
متن کاملاثر گسیل خود به خودی و اتلاف کاواک بر گذار بی‌دررو تحریکی رامان در داخل کاواک
In this paper, we study the robust technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in an optical cavity considering decoherence effects of atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay. Numerical solution of Liouville equation shows that the population transfer of the system is more sensitive to the cavity decay than the atomic spontaneous emission.
متن کاملAdiabatic creation of coherent superposition states in atomic beams
We describe a technique for creating superpositions of degenerate quantum states, such as are needed for beam splitters used in matter-wave optics, by manipulating the timing of three orthogonally polarized laser beams through which moving atoms (or molecules) pass; motion across the laser beams produces pulses in the atomic rest frame. As illustrated with representative simulations for transit...
متن کاملA Coherence Preservation Control Strategy in Cavity QED Based on Classical Quantum Feedback
For eliminating the unexpected decoherence effect in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED), the transfer function of Rabi oscillation is derived theoretically using optical Bloch equations. In particular, the decoherence in cavity QED from the atomic spontaneous emission is especially considered. A feedback control strategy is proposed to preserve the coherence through Rabi oscillation st...
متن کاملControl of non-Markovian decay and decoherence by measurements and interference.
Novel methods are discussed for the state control of atoms coupled to multi-mode reservoirs with non-Markovian spectra: 1) Excitation decay control : we point out that the quantum Zeno effect, i.e., inhibition of spontaneous decay by frequent measurements, is observable in open cavities and waveguides using a sequence of evolution- interrupting pulses or randomly-modulated CW fields. 2) Locatio...
