نویسنده
چکیده
For a transition Fe = 0 ↔ Fg = 1 driven by a linearly polarized light and probed by a circularly light, quantum coherence effects are investigated. Due to the coherence between the drive Rabi frequency and Zeeman splitting, electromagnetically induced transparency, electromagnetically induced absorption, and the transition from positive to negative dispersion are obtained, as well as the populations coherently oscillating in a wide spectral region. At the zero pump-probe detuning, the subluminal and superluminal light propagation is predicted. Finally, coherent population trapping states are not highly sensitive to the refraction and absorption in such ensemble. PACS number(s): 32.80.Qk, 42.25.Kb, 42.50.Gy Typeset using REVTEX

In this paper, we determine all unitary solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation in dimension four. Quantum computation motivates this study. This set of solutions will assist in clarifying the relationship between quantum entanglement and topological entanglement. We present a variety of facts about the Yang-Baxter equation for the reader unfamiliar with the equation.

We demonstrate experimentally a robust quantum memory using a magnetic-field-independent hyperfine transition in Be atomic ion qubits at a magnetic field B ≃ 0.01194 T. We observe that the single physical qubit memory coherence time is greater than 10 seconds, an improvement of approximately five orders of magnitude from previous experiments with Be. We also observe long coherence times of deco...

The best performance of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is achieved with the input state |NT /2+ 1〉|NT /2 − 1〉 + |NT /2 − 1〉|NT /2 + 1〉, being NT the total number of atoms/photons. This gives: i) a phase-shift error confidence C68% = 2.67/NT with ii) a single interferometric measurement. Different input quantum states can achieve the Heisenberg scaling ∼ 1/NT but with higher prefactors and at the...

A quantum key distribution protocol based on entanglement swapping is proposed. Through choosing particles by twos from the sequence and performing Bell measurements, two communicators can detect eavesdropping and obtain the secure key. Because the two particles measured together are selected out randomly, we need neither alternative measurements nor rotations of the Bell states to obtain secur...
