Fermionic Mean-Field Theory as a Tool for Studying Spin Hamiltonians

Thomas M. Henderson, Brent Harrison, Ilias Magoulas +5

The Jordan--Wigner transformation permits one to convert spin operators into spinless fermion ones, or vice versa. In some cases, it transforms an interacting spin Hamiltonia…

Controlling quantum interference between virtual and dipole two-photon optical excitation pathways using phase-shaped laser pulses

Jurick Lahiri, Stephen H. Yuwono, Ilias Magoulas +5

Two-photon excitation (TPE) proceeds via a "virtual" pathway, which depends on the accessibility of one or more intermediate states, and, in the case of non-centrosymmetric molecul…
