Fine-Structure Qubit Encoded in Metastable Strontium Trapped in an Optical Lattice

S. Pucher, V. Klüsener, F. Spriestersbach +4

We demonstrate coherent control of the fine-structure qubit in neutral strontium atoms. This qubit is encoded in the metastable ${}^3{\mathrm{P}}_2$ and ${}^3{\mathrm{P}}_0$ states, couple…
