Chirping a two-photon transition in a multi-state ladder
Wolfgang Merkel, Holger Mack, Wolfgang P. Schleich +3
We consider a two-photon transition in a specific ladder system driven by a chirped laser pulse. In the weak field limit, we find that the excited state probability amplitude arise…
Is Fresnel Optics Quantum Mechanics in Phase Space?
O. Crasser, H. Mack, W. P. Schleich
We formulate and argue in favor of the following conjecture: There exists an intimate connection between Wigner's quantum mechanical phase space distribution function and classical…
Wave Packets can Factorize Numbers
Holger Mack, Marc Bienert, Florian Haug +2
We draw attention to various aspects of number theory emerging in the time evolution of elementary quantum systems with quadratic phases. Such model systems can be realized in actu…
Dynamics of entanglement between two trapped atoms
Holger Mack, Matthias Freyberger
We investigate the dynamics of entanglement between two continuous variable quantum systems. The model system consists of two atoms in a harmonic trap which are interacting by a si…
Fresnel Representation of the Wigner Function: An Operational Approach
P. Lougovski, E. Solano, Z. M. Zhang +3
We present an operational definition of the Wigner function. Our method relies on the Fresnel transform of measured Rabi oscillations and applies to motional states of trapped atom…
Wave packet dynamics and factorization of numbers
Holger Mack, Marc Bienert, Florian Haug +3
We connect three phenomena of wave packet dynamics: Talbot images, revivals of a particle in a box and fractional revivals. The physical origin of these effects is deeply rooted in…
