Optical analog of Rabi oscillation suppression due to atomic motion
J. G. Muga, B. Navarro
The Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom illuminated by a laser on resonance with the atomic transition may be suppressed by the atomic motion through averaging or filtering mecha…
Quantum dwell times
J. A. Damborenea, I. L. Egusquiza, J. G. Muga +1
We put forward several inherently quantum characteristics of the dwell time, and propose an operational method to detect them. The quantum dwell time is pointed out to be a conserv…
Operator normalized quantum arrival times in the presence of interactions
G. C. Hegerfeldt, D. Seidel, J. G. Muga +1
We model ideal arrival-time measurements for free quantum particles and for particles subject to an external interaction by means of a narrow and weak absorbing potential. This app…
Optimal atomic detection by control of detuning and spatial dependence of laser intensity
B. Navarro, I. L. Egusquiza, J. G. Muga +1
Atomic detection by fluorescence may fail because of reflection from the laser or transmission without excitation. The detection probability for a given velocity range may be impro…
Suppression of Rabi oscillations for moving atoms
B. Navarro, I. L. Egusquiza, J. G. Muga +1
The well-known laser-induced Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom are shown to be suppressed under certain conditions when the atom is entering a laser-illuminated region. For tem…
