Impulsively Excited Gravitational Quantum States: Echoes and Time-Resolved Spectroscopy

Ilia Tutunnikov, K. V. Rajitha, A. Yu. Voronin +2 more

We theoretically study an impulsively excited quantum bouncer (QB)-a particle bouncing off a surface in the presence of gravity. A pair of time-delayed pulsed excitations is shown to induce a wave-packet echo effect-a partial rephasing of the QB wave function appearing at twice the delay between pulses. In addition, an appropriately chosen observable [here, the population of the ground gravitational quantum state (GQS)] recorded as a function of the delay is shown to contain the transition frequencies between the GQSs, their populations, and partial phase information about the wave-packet quantum amplitudes. The wave-packet echo effect is a promising candidate method for precision studies of GQSs of ultracold neutrons, atoms, and antiatoms confined in closed gravitational traps.

Control of Pseudo-Markovian Evolution in Finite Quantum Systems via Feedback

Nicholas Chancellor, C. Petri, Lorenzo Campos Venuti +2 more

We consider the unitary time evolution of continuous quantum mechanical systems confined to a cavity in contact with a finite bath of variable size. Measures for Markovianity for such finite system-bath configurations are developed in terms of Hilbert-Schmidt distances of time evolving wave packets. The relevant time scales are identified, which characterize pseudo-Markovian transient behavior, boundary scattering induced non-Markovian oscillations at intermediate times, and non-Markovian rephasing events at long time scales. It is shown how these time scales can be controlled by tunable parameters such as the bath size and the strength of the system-bath coupling.

Quasiperiodic Atom Optics, Focusing, and Wave packet Rephasing

J. L. Cohen, B. Dubetsky, P. R. Berman

We propose a laser field configuration which acts as a quasiperiodic atom optical diffraction grating. Analytical and computational results for the atomic center-of-mass wavefunction after the grating reveal a quasiperiodic density pattern, a semiclassical focusing effect, and a quasiperiodic self-imaging of the atomic wavefunction analogous to a Talbot effect.
