Theory of Subradiant States of a One-Dimensional Two-Level Atom Chain

Yu-Xiang Zhang, Klaus Mølmer

Recently, the subradiant states of one-dimensional two-level atom chains coupled to light modes were found to have decay rates obeying a universal scaling, and an unexpected fermio…

Measurements with prediction and retrodiction on the collective spin of 10^{11} atoms beat the standard quantum limit

Han Bao, Junlei Duan, Xingda Lu +10

Quantum probes using uncorrelated particles give a limit on the measurement sensitivity referred to as the standard quantum limit (SQL). The SQL, however, can be overcome by ex…

Spontaneous emission of a sodium Rydberg atom close to an optical nanofibre

E Stourm, Y Zhang, M Lepers +5

We report on numerical calculations of the spontaneous emission rate of a Rydberg-excited sodium atom in the vicinity of an optical nanofibre. In particular, we study how this rate…

A Solvable Model for Decoupling of Interacting Clusters

Artem G. Volosniev, Aksel S. Jensen, Nathan L. Harshman +2

We consider M clusters of interacting particles, whose in-group interactions are arbitrary, and inter-group interactions are approximated by oscillator potentials. We show that the…

Counteracting systems of diabaticities using DRAG controls: The status after 10 years

L. S. Theis, F. Motzoi, S. Machnes +1

The task of controlling a quantum system under time and bandwidth limitations is made difficult by unwanted excitations of spectrally neighboring energy levels. In this article we…

Quantum interference device for controlled two-qubit operations

Niels Jakob Søe Loft, Morten Kjaergaard, Lasse Bjørn Kristensen +5

Universal quantum computing relies on high-fidelity entangling operations. Here we demonstrate that four coupled qubits can operate as a quantum gate, where two qubits control the…

Controlling the potential landscape and normal modes of ion Coulomb crystals by a standing wave optical potential

Thomas Lauprêtre, Rasmus B. Linnet, Ian D. Leroux +3

Light-induced control of ions within small Coulomb crystals is investigated. By intense intracavity optical standing wave fields, subwavelength localization of individual ions is a…

Adiabatic preparation of squeezed states of oscillators and large spin systems coupled to a two-level system

Jiabao Chen, Denis Konstantinov, Klaus Mølmer

We study a single two-level system coupled resonantly to an oscillator mode or a large spin. By adiabatically turning on a linear driving term on the oscillator or the spin, the ei…

Realizing time crystals in discrete quantum few-body systems

R. E. Barfknecht, S. E. Rasmussen, A. Foerster +1

The exotic phenomenon of time translation symmetry breaking under periodic driving - the time crystal - has been shown to occur in many-body systems even in clean setups where diso…

Surface plasmon launching by polariton superradiance

Yu-Xiang Zhang, Yuan Zhang, Klaus Mølmer

The condition of phase matching prohibits the transfer of excitation from free-space photons to surface plasmon polaritons (SPP). We propose and analyze a scheme that excites an en…
