Optical trapping, manipulation, and 3D imaging of disclinations in liquid crystals and measurement of their line tension
Ivan I. Smalyukh, Bohdan I. Senyuk, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii +4
We demonstrate optical trapping and manipulation of defects and transparent microspheres in nematic liquid crystals (LCs). The three-dimensional director fields and positions of th…
Resurrection of Schrodinger Cat
Jae-Seung Lee, A. K. Khitrin
Quantum decoherence is the major obstacle in using the potential of engineered quantum dynamics to revolutionize high-precision measurements, sensitive detection, or information pr…
Twelve-spin "Schrodinger cat"
Jae-Seung Lee, A. K. Khitrin
Pseudopure "cat" state, a superposition of quantum states with all spins up and all spins down, is experimentally demonstrated for a system of twelve dipolar-coupled nuclear spins…
Adiabatic cross-polarization via intermediate dipolar-ordered state
Jae-Seung Lee, A. K. Khitrin
It is experimentally demonstrated that an adiabatic demagnetization - remagnetization scheme, where the Zeeman order of abundant nuclei is first adiabatically converted into the di…
Quantum state expansion
Jae-Seung Lee, A. K. Khitrin
It is experimentally demonstrated that an arbitrary quantum state of a single spin 1/2: a|u> + b|d> can be converted into a superposition of the two ferromagnetic states of a spin…
Stimulated wave of polarization in 1D Ising chain
Jae-Seung Lee, A. K. Khitrin
It is demonstrated that in one-dimensional Ising chain with nearest-neighbor interactions, irradiated by a weak resonant transverse field, a stimulated wave of flipped spins can be…
