Least-bias description of atomic beams
We show how an unbiased quantal description of the center-of-mass properties of an atomic beam is achieved by employing an appropriate statistical operator. A few examples with experimental relevance are treated in order to illustrate the method. We find that the quantum corrections to the classical relation between the velocity distribution and the time-offlight signal are negligible in reason...
متن کاملA Quantum Description of the Stern-Gerlach Experiment
A detailed analysis of the classic Stern–Gerlach experiment is presented. An analytical simple solution is presented for the quantum description of the translational and spin dynamics of a silver atom in a magnetic field with a gradient along a single z-direction. This description is then used to obtain an approximate quantum description of the more realistic case with a magnetic field gradient...
متن کاملQuantum Logic Processor: A Mach Zehnder Interferometer based Approach
Quantum Logic Processors can be implemented with Mach Zehnder Interferometer(MZI) configurations for the Quantum logic operations and gates. In this paper, its implementation for both optical and electronic system has been presented. The correspondence between Jones matrices for photon polarizations and Pauli spin matrices for electrons gives a representation of all the unitary matrices for the...
متن کاملWe gratefully acknowledge the financial support
Gap-acoustic solitons (GASs), which make use of the nearly universal electrostrictive light-sound interaction, offer promising new avenues for slowing light. Optical gap solitons exist inside the frequency region of the band gap created by a Bragg grating. The Bragg grating, which may be considered as a distributed mirror for wavelengths in phase with it, keeps low-intensity light out of the ga...
متن کاملA Waveguide Atom Beamsplitter for Laser-Cooled Neutral Atoms
A laser-cooled neutral-atom beam from a low-velocity intense source is split into two beams while guided by a magnetic-field potential. We generate our multimodebeamsplitter potential with two current-carrying wires on a glass substrate combined with an external transverse bias field. The atoms bend around several curves over a 10-cm distance. A maximum integrated flux of 1.5 · 105atoms/s is ac...
