Blueprint for a fault-tolerant compound photon-atom quantum architecture

Geva Arwas, Doron Azoury, Daniel Azses +11

Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires architectures that simultaneously address scalability, connectivity, and error correction under realistic noise constraints. We present a…

Single-atom trapping in the evanescent field of an integrated photonic resonator

Yair Margalit, Omri Davidson, Oded Zemer +16

Strong atom-photon interactions on scalable photonic platforms hold significant potential for both atomic and photonic quantum information platforms. In particular, trapping of a s…

Observation of bosonic stimulation in light scattering

Yu-Kun Lu, Yair Margalit, Wolfgang Ketterle

For bosons, the transition rate into an already occupied quantum state is enhanced by its occupation number: the effect of bosonic stimulation. Bosonic enhancement of light scatter…

Catching Bethe phantoms and quantum many-body scars: Long-lived spin-helix states in Heisenberg magnets

Paul Niklas Jepsen, Yoo Kyung Lee, Hanzhen Lin +4

Exact solutions for quantum many-body systems are rare and provide valuable insight to universal phenomena. Here we show experimentally in anisotropic Heisenberg chains that specia…

Observation of Anomalous Moiré Patterns

Omer Amit, Or Dobkowski, Zhifan Zhou +6

Moiré patterns are omnipresent. They are important for any overlapping periodic phenomenon, from vibrational and electromagnetic, to condensed matter. Here we show, both theoretica…

Pauli blocking of light scattering in degenerate fermions

Yair Margalit, Yu-Kun Lu, Furkan Cagri Top +1

Pauli blocking of spontaneous emission is responsible for the stability of atoms. Higher electronic orbitals cannot decay to lower-lying states if they are already occupied -- this…

Realization of a complete Stern-Gerlach interferometer: Towards a test of quantum gravity

Yair Margalit, Or Dobkowski, Zhifan Zhou +8

The Stern-Gerlach effect, discovered a century ago, has become a paradigm of quantum mechanics. Surprisingly there has been little evidence that the original scheme with freely pro…

Spin-polarized fermions with -wave interactions

Furkan Çağrı Top, Yair Margalit, Wolfgang Ketterle

We study quantum degenerate Fermi gases of Li atoms at high densities ( cm) and observe elastic and inelastic -wave collisions far away from any Feshbach r…

Stern-Gerlach Interferometry with the Atom Chip

Mark Keil, Shimon Machluf, Yair Margalit +12

In this invited review in honor of 100 years since the Stern-Gerlach (SG) experiments, we describe a decade of SG interferometry on the atom chip. The SG effect has been a paradigm…

An experimental test of the geodesic rule proposition for the non-cyclic geometric phase

Zhifan Zhou, Yair Margalit, Samuel Moukouri +2

The geometric phase due to the evolution of the Hamiltonian is a central concept in quantum physics, and may become advantageous for quantum technology. In non-cyclic evolutions, a…

Survival of the fittest in the coherent evolution of quantum ensembles

G. Liu, O. Be'er, Y. Margalit +4

We report two novel effects in an inhomogeneous ensemble of two-level systems driven by an external field. First, we observe a rigidity of the oscillation frequency: the dominant R…

Realization of a complete Stern-Gerlach interferometer

Yair Margalit, Zhifan Zhou, Or Dobkowski +4

The Stern-Gerlach (SG) effect, discovered almost a century ago, has become a paradigm of quantum mechanics. Surprisingly there is little evidence that the original scheme with free…

Quantum complementarity of clocks in the context of general relativity

Zhifan Zhou, Yair Margalit, Daniel Rohrlich +2

Clocks play a special role at the interface of general relativity and quantum mechanics. We analyze a clock-interferometry thought experiment and go on to theoretically derive and…

Using a quantum work meter to test non-equilibrium fluctuation theorems

Federico Cerisola, Yair Margalit, Shimon Machluf +3

Non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is essential to describe new devices that operate far from the regime where the usual thermodynamical laws are obeyed. When quantum fluctuati…

A self-interfering clock as a "which path" witness

Yair Margalit, Zhifan Zhou, Shimon Machluf +3

We experimentally demonstrate a new interferometry paradigm: a self-interfering clock. We split a clock into two spatially separated wave packets, and observe an interference patte…

Magic frequencies in atom-light interaction for precision probing of the density matrix

Menachem Givon, Yair Margalit, Amir Waxman +4

We analyze theoretically and experimentally the existence of a {\it magic frequency} for which the absorption of a linearly polarized light beam by vapor alkali atoms is independen…
