Quantum Chessboards in Deuterium Wavepackets

چکیده
We present a novel scheme for quantum manipulation in ultrafast diatomic molecules. A pump mechanism is used to create a coherent superposition of the D + 2 vibrations. A short, intense, control pulse is applied, after a fractional coherence time, to create selective interferences. A 'chessboard' pattern of states can be realised in which the set of even/odd numbered vibrational states can be annihilated. A technique is proposed for experimental realization and observation of this effect using 5fs pulses of λ = 790nm radiation, with intermediate intensities (∼ 5 × 10 13 W cm −2). We identify a new algorithm for vibrational control that is feasible with current experimental technology.

Quantum Chessboards in the Deuterium Molecular Ion
We present a new algorithm for vibrational control in deuterium molecules that is feasible with current experimental technology. A pump mechanism is used to create a coherent superposition of the D2 vibrations. A short, intense infrared control pulse is applied after a chosen delay time to create selective interferences. A ‘chessboard’ pattern of states can be realized in which a set of evenor ...
متن کاملQuantum Measurement Information as a key to Energy Extraction from Local Vacuums
In this paper, a protocol is proposed in which energy extraction from local vacuum states is possible by using quantum measurement information for the vacuum state of quantum fields. In the protocol, Alice, who stays at a spatial point, excites the ground state of the fields by a local measurement. Consequently, wavepackects generated by A' measurement propagate the vacuum to spatial infinity. ...
متن کاملDecoherence of quantum wavepackets due to interaction with conformal spacetime fluctuations
One of the biggest problems faced by those attempting to combine quantum theory and general relativity is the experimental inaccessibility of the unification scale. In this paper we show how incoherent conformal waves in the gravitational field, which may be produced by quantum mechanical zeropoint fluctuations, interact with the wavepackets of massive particles. The result of this interaction ...
متن کاملWavepackets and Duality in Noncommutative Planar Quantum Mechanics
Effects of noncommutativity are investigated in planar quantum mechanics in the coordinate representation. Generally these issues are addressed by converting to the momentum space. In the first part of the work we show noncommutative effects in a Gaussian wavepacket through the broadening of its width. We also rederive results on ∗-product of Gaussian wavepackets. In the second part, we constru...
متن کاملSpace–time fluctuations and the spreading of wavepackets
Using a density matrix description in space we study the evolution of wavepackets in a fluctuating space–time background. We assume that space–time fluctuations manifest as classical fluctuations of the metric. From the non–relativistic limit of a non-minimally coupled Klein–Gordon equation we derive a Schrödinger equation with an additive gaussian random potential. This is transformed into an ...
