Fast polarimetry system for the application to spin quantum non-demolition measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the development of a fast pulse polarimeter for the application to quantum non-demolition measurement of atomic spin (Spin QND). The developed system was tunable to the atomic resonance of ytterbium atom and has narrow laser linewidth suitable for spin QND. Using the developed polarimeter, we successfully demonstrated the measurement of the vacuum noise, with 10 to 10 photon number per pulse. PACS 42.25.Ja; 42.50.Lc; 42.55.Px

A Non-Demolition Photon Counting Method by Four-Level Inverted Y-Type Atom
The semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. Vee, L, Cascade X , Y, and inverted Y and so on. This issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. In this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...
متن کاملExplore Electron Spin Parity Measurements in View of Indistinguishability
Recently, Hans-Andreas Engel and Daniel Loss proposed an interesting protocol of electrons spin parity measurement. In addition, they suggested a way of constructing controlled NOT (CNOT) gate and unviersal quantum computer with this measurement. However, a quantum erasing procesing will happen and their construction will become challenging, if the indistinguishability of two electrons in one q...
متن کاملParamagnetic Faraday rotation with spin-polarized ytterbium atoms
We report observation of the paramagnetic Faraday rotation of spin-polarized ytterbium (Yb) atoms. As the sample of the atoms, we used atomic beam, released atom frommagneto-optical trap (MOT), and trapped atoms in far-off-resonant trap (FORT). Since Yb is diamagnetic and has spin-1/2 isotope, it is an ideal sample for the spin physics, such as quantum non-demolition measurement of spin (spin Q...
متن کاملQuantum non-demolition measurements using Bose-Einstein condensates
We study possible scenarios for quantum non-demolition measurements using Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that the interactions between condensate atoms makes it possible to measure the atom number with minimal back action on the system. This is an example of atomic nonlinear optics that has significant implications in the quantum state preparation of the Bose condensates. Typeset using REVT...
متن کاملImpossibility of Determining the Unknown Quantum Wavefunction of a Single System: Quantum Non-Demolition Measurements, Measurements without Entanglement and Adiabatic Measurements
We establish that the information which can be obtained in the measurement of a single system about the unknown quantum wavefunction of the system is limited to estimates of the expectation values of the measured observables, with the estimate errors satisfying the uncertainty principle. Only the fully apriori known wavefunction could be determined exactly. We consider specifically measurement ...
