Spin-dependent Optical Superlattice
arXiv:1708.07406 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.011602
Abstract
We propose and implement a lattice scheme for coherently manipulating atomic spins. Using the vector light shift and a superlattice structure, we demonstrate experimentally the capability on parallel spin addressing in double-wells and square plaquettes with subwavelength resolution. Quantum coherence of spin manipulations is verified through measuring atom tunneling and spin exchange dynamics. Our experiment presents a building block for engineering many-body quantum states in optical lattices for realizing quantum simulation and computation tasks.
