Probing Scalar Coupling Differences via Long-Lived Singlet States

Stephen J. DeVience, Ronald L. Walsworth, Matthew S. Rosen

We probe small scalar coupling differences via the coherent interactions between two nuclear spin singlet states in organic molecules. We show that the spin-lock induced crossing (…

Atom-based coherent quantum-noise cancellation in optomechanics

F. Bariani, H. Seok, S. Singh +2

We analyze a quantum force sensor that uses coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) to beat the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL). This sensor, which allows for the continuous, broad…

NMR Technique for Determining the Depth of Shallow Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond

Linh M. Pham, Stephen J. DeVience, Francesco Casola +10

We demonstrate a robust experimental method for determining the depth of individual shallow Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with nm uncertainty. We use a confocal…

PT-symmetric Rabi model: Perturbation theory

Tony E. Lee, Yogesh N. Joglekar

We study a non-Hermitian version of the Rabi model, where a two-level system is periodically driven with an imaginary-valued drive strength, leading to alternating gain and loss. I…

Cooperative shielding in many-body systems with long-range interaction

Lea F. Santos, Fausto Borgonovi, Giuseppe Luca Celardo

In recent experiments with ion traps, long-range interactions were associated with the exceptionally fast propagation of perturbation, while in some theoretical works they have als…

Optimizing a Dynamical Decoupling Protocol for Solid-State Electronic Spin Ensembles in Diamond

Demitry Farfurnik, Andrey Jarmola, Linh M. Pham +5

We demonstrate significant improvements of the spin coherence time of a dense ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond through optimized dynamical decoupling (DD). Cool…

Universal Quantum Transducers based on Surface Acoustic Waves

Martin J. A. Schuetz, Eric M. Kessler, Geza Giedke +3

We propose a universal, on-chip quantum transducer based on surface acoustic waves in piezo-active materials. Because of the intrinsic piezoelectric (and/or magnetostrictive) prope…

Long-distance entanglement distribution using individual atoms in optical cavities

Johannes Borregaard, Peter Kómár, Eric M. Kessler +2

Individual atoms in optical cavities can provide an efficient interface between stationary qubits and flying qubits (photons), which is an essentiel building block for quantum comm…

Adiabatic rapid passage two-photon excitation of a Rydberg atom

Elena Kuznetsova, Gengyuan Liu, Svetlana A. Malinovskaya

We considered the two-photon adiabatic rapid passage excitation of a single atom from the ground to a Rydberg state. Three schemes were analyzed: both pump and Stokes fields chirpe…

Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49

Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…

Tachyon physics with trapped ions

Tony E. Lee, Unai Alvarez-Rodriguez, Xiao-Hang Cheng +2

It has been predicted that particles with imaginary mass, called tachyons, would be able to travel faster than the speed of light. There has not been any experimental evidence for…

Heralded quantum gates with integrated error detection in optical cavities

J. Borregaard, P. Kómár, E. M. Kessler +2

We propose and analyze heralded quantum gates between qubits in optical cavities. They employ an auxiliary qubit to report if a successful gate occurred. In this manner, the errors…

Transport of quantum excitations via local and nonlocal fluctuations

M. Zhang, Tony E. Lee, H. R. Sadeghpour

In quantum systems, one usually seeks to minimize dephasing noise and disorder. The efficiency of transport in a quantum system is usually degraded by the presence of noise and dis…
