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 Parity Violation. Early days, present results, prospects
Marie-Anne Bouchiat
This is a personal recollection of the time when the search for APV was beginning. In spite of today's remarkable results, summarized here, there are still important goals to be ac…
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,…
Linear Stark Shifts to Measure the Fr Weak Nuclear Charge with Small Atom Samples
Marie-Anne Bouchiat
We study the chirality of ground-state alkali atoms in E and B fields, dressed with a circularly-polarized laser beam close-detuned from an E-field-assisted forbidden transition, s…
A linear Stark shift in dressed atoms as a signal to measure a nuclear anapole moment with a cold atom fountain or interferometer
Marie-Anne Bouchiat
We demonstrate theoretically the existence of a linear dc Stark shift of the individual substates of an alkali atom in its ground state, dressed by a circularly polarized laser fie…
Pump-probe measurement of atomic parity violation in caesium with a precision of 2.6%
Michel Lintz, Jocelyne Guéna, Marie-Anne Bouchiat
We present the atomic parity violation measurements made in Cs vapour using a pump-probe scheme. After pulsed excitation of the 6S-7S forbidden transition in the presence of a long…
