A spin heat engine coupled to a harmonic-oscillator flywheel

David von Lindenfels, Oliver Gräb, Christian T. Schmiegelow +6

We realize a heat engine using a single electron spin as a working medium. The spin pertains to the valence electron of a trapped Ca ion, and heat reservoirs are emulate…

Active SU(1,1) atom interferometry

D. Linnemann, J. Schulz, W. Muessel +5

Active interferometers use amplifying elements for beam splitting and recombination. We experimentally implement such a device by using spin exchange in a Bose-Einstein condensate.…

Experimental Verification of Position-Dependent Angular-Momentum Selection Rules for Absorption of Twisted Light by a Bound Electron

Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson, Christian T. Schmiegelow +3

We analyze the multipole excitation of atoms with twisted light, i.e., by a vortex light field that carries orbital angular momentum. A single trapped Ca ion serves as a…

Scalable creation of long-lived multipartite entanglement

H. Kaufmann, T. Ruster, C. T. Schmiegelow +6

We demonstrate the deterministic generation of multipartite entanglement based on scalable methods. Four qubits are encoded in Ca, stored in a micro-structured segmented…

Fast ion swapping for quantum information processing

Henning Kaufmann, Thomas Ruster, Christian T. Schmiegelow +6

We demonstrate a SWAP gate between laser-cooled ions in a segmented microtrap via fast physical swapping of the ion positions. This operation is used in conjunction with qubit init…

Quantum-Enhanced Sensing Based on Time Reversal of Nonlinear Dynamics

Daniel Linnemann, Helmut Strobel, Wolfgang Muessel +4

We experimentally demonstrate a nonlinear detection scheme exploiting time-reversal dynamics that disentangles continuous variable entangled states for feasible readout. Spin-excha…
