Geometric Phases generated by the non-trivial spatial topology of static vector fields coupled to a neutral spin-endowed particle. Application to 171Yb atoms trapped in a 2D optical lattice
Marie-Anne Bouchiat, Claude Bouchiat
We have constructed the geometric phases emerging from the non-trivial topology of a space-dependent magnetic field, interacting with the spin magnetic moment of a neutral particle…
Atomic interferometer measurements of Berry's and Aharonov-Anandan's phases for isolated spins S > 1/2 non-linearly coupled to external fields
Marie-Anne Bouchiat, Claude Bouchiat
The aim of the present paper is to propose experiments for observing the significant features of Berry's phases for S>1, generated by spin-Hamiltonians endowed with two couplings,…
Berry's Phases for Arbitrary Spins Non-Linearly Coupled to External Fields. Application to the Entanglement of N > 2 Non-Correlated One-Half Spins
Marie-Anne Bouchiat, Claude Bouchiat
We derive the general formula giving the Berry phase for an arbitrary spin, having both magnetic-dipole and electric-quadrupole couplings with external time-dependent fields. We as…
Spatial Constraint Corrections to the Elasticity of dsDNA Measured with Magnetic Tweezers
C. Bouchiat
In this paper, we have studied, within a discrete WLC model, the spatial constraints in magnetic tweezers used in single molecule experiments. Two elements are involved: first, the…
Entropic Elasticity of Double-Strand DNA Subject to Simple Spatial Constraints
C. Bouchiat
The aim of the present paper is the study of the entropic elasticity of the dsDNA molecule, having a cristallographic length L of the order of 10 to 30 persistence lengths A, when…
Constraints on the parity-violating couplings of a new gauge boson
C. Bouchiat, P. Fayet
High-energy particle physics experiments allow for the possible existence of a new light, very weakly coupled, neutral gauge boson (the U boson). This one permits for light (spin-1…
