Feedback cooling of atomic motion in cavity QED
Daniel A. Steck, Kurt Jacobs, Hideo Mabuchi +2
We consider the problem of controlling the motion of an atom trapped in an optical cavity using continuous feedback. In order to realize such a scheme experimentally, one must be a…
The Emergence of Classical Dynamics in a Quantum World
Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Salman Habib, Kurt Jacobs
Ever since the advent of quantum mechanics, it has been clear that the atoms composing matter do not obey Newton's laws. Instead, their behavior is described by the Schroedinger eq…
Gaussian Dynamics is Classical Dynamics
Salman Habib
A direct comparison of quantum and classical dynamical systems can be accomplished through the use of distribution functions. This is useful for both fundamental investigations suc…
Quantum Feedback Control of Atomic Motion in an Optical Cavity
Daniel A. Steck, Kurt Jacobs, Hideo Mabuchi +2
We study quantum feedback cooling of atomic motion in an optical cavity as a prototypical nonlinear quantum control problem. We design a feedback algorithm that can cool the atom t…
The transition to classical chaos in a coupled quantum system through continuous measurement
Shohini Ghose, Paul Alsing, Ivan Deutsch +3
Continuous observation of a quantum system yields a measurement record that faithfully reproduces the classically predicted trajectory provided that the measurement is sufficiently…
Continuous Quantum Measurement and the Quantum to Classical Transition
Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Salman Habib, Kurt Jacobs
While ultimately they are described by quantum mechanics, macroscopic mechanical systems are nevertheless observed to follow the trajectories predicted by classical mechanics. Henc…
