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…
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…
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…
