Non-Abelian anyonic interferometry with a multi-photon spin lattice simulator
Recently a pair of experiments [1, 2] demonstrated a simulation of Abelian anyons in a spin network of single photons. The experiments were based on an Abelian discrete gauge theory spin lattice model of Kitaev [3]. Here we describe how to use linear optics and single photons to simulate non-Abelian anyons. The scheme makes use of joint qutrit-qubit encoding of the spins and the resources requi...
متن کاملDecoherence of anyonic charge in interferometry measurements.
We examine interferometric measurements of the topological charge of (non-Abelian) anyons. The target's topological charge is measured from its effect on the interference of probe particles sent through the interferometer. We find that superpositions of distinct anyonic charges a and a' in the target decohere (exponentially in the number of probes particles used) when the probes have nontrivial...
متن کاملMeasuring the deposited energy from a non-ionizing laser beam in water by digital holographic interferometry
Digital Holographic interferometry is a powerful and widely used optical technique for accurate measurement of variations in physical quantities such as density, refractive index, and etc. In this study, an experimental digital holographic interferometry setup was designed and used to measure the amount of energy changes induced by absorption of radiation from a non-ionizing infrared laser beam...
متن کاملControlling spin exchange interactions of ultracold atoms in optical lattices.
We describe a general technique that allows one to induce and control strong interaction between spin states of neighboring atoms in an optical lattice. We show that the properties of spin exchange interactions, such as magnitude, sign, and anisotropy, can be designed by adjusting the optical potentials. We illustrate how this technique can be used to efficiently "engineer" quantum spin systems...
متن کاملIn situ determination of Zeeman content of collective atomic memories
Knowledge and control of atomic Zeeman populations is necessary for the realization of useful, long-lived quantum memories. We propose and implement a method to determine atomic state population distributions for atomic spin waves. Zeeman composition of single atomic spin waves of a cold atomic gas, confined in a one-dimensional optical lattice, is inferred with high precision by measurements o...
