Coherent quantum switch driven by optimized laser pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two models of coherent quantum switches constructed from a single-electron quantum ring and a double quantum dot, respectively. The systems are driven by picosecond laser pulses obtained using quantum optimal control theory. The optimized pulses generate electron-current flips in the ring (magnetic switch) and electron transport in the double dot (charge switch) in significantly shorter times and higher accuracies than previously used finite-length continuous waves. This opens applicable paths into coherent single-qubit gates operated by terahertz lasers.

متن کاملOptimal control of quantum rings by terahertz laser pulses.
Complete control of single-electron states in a two-dimensional semiconductor quantum-ring model is established, opening a path into coherent laser-driven single-gate qubits. The control scheme is developed in the framework of optimal-control theory for laser pulses of two-component polarization. In terms of pulse lengths and target-state occupations, the scheme is shown to be superior to conve...

We investigate the efficient generation of low-divergence high-order harmonics driven by waveform-optimized laser pulses in a gas-filled hollow waveguide. The drive waveform is obtained by synthesizing two-color laser pulses, optimized such that highest harmonic yields are emitted from each atom. Optimization of the gas pressure and waveguide configuration has enabled us to produce bright and s...
متن کاملLaser control of electron matter waves
In recent years laser light has been used to control the motion of electron waves. Electrons can now be diffracted by standing waves of light. Laser light in the vicinity of nanostructures is used to affect free electrons, for example, femto-second and atto-second laser-induced electrons are emitted from nanotips delivering coherent fast electron sources. Optical control of dispersion of the em...

We show that a single, trapped, laser-driven atom in a high-finesse optical cavity allows for the quantumcoherent generation of entangled light pulses on demand. We report the detailed description of schemes for generating simultaneous and temporally separated pulse pairs, presented in G. Morigi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 96, 023601 2006 . The mechanical effect of the laser excitation on the qua...
