Abstract

Using the time-dependent multilevel approach(TDMA),the properties of high excited Rydberg lithium atom have been obtained in the microwave field.The population transfer of lithium atom are studied on numerical calculation,quantum states are controlled and manipulated by microwave field. It shows that the population can be completely transferred to the target state by changing the chirped rate and field amplitude.

Using the time-dependent multilevel approach (TDMA) and combining the B-spline expansion technique and the model potenial method of atom, the properties of Rydberg sodium atom are investigated. The energy level structure of high excited states and population transfer of sodium atom in a microwave field are studied by numerical calculation, and quantum states are controlled and manipulated by microwave field. The results show that the method we used can be applied to the investigation of the properties of alkali-metal atoms in external field, that the population is very sensitive to the parameters of chirped rate and field amplitude, and that the population can be completely transferred into the target state and trapped there by changing the chirped rate and field amplitude.

The time-dependent multilevel approach (TDMA) and the B-spline expansion technique are used to study the properties of Rydberg lithium atom. The energy level structures of high excited states n = 7075, l = 05 and population transfer of lithium atom in a microwave field are studied by numerical calculation.

Using the time-dependent multilevel approach and the B-spline technique, populations of Rydberg lithium atoms in chirped microwave pulses are demonstrated. Firstly the populations of two energy levels are controlled by the microwave pulse parameters. Secondly the atoms experience the consequence 70s-71p-72s-73p-74s in a microwave field using optimized microwave field parameters. It is shown that the coherent control of the population transfer in the microwave field from the initial to the target states can be accomplished by optimizing the microwave field parameters.

Population coherent control of Rydberg potassium atom via adiabatic passage

Lijuan Jiang, Xianzhou Zhang, Guang-Rui Jia +2 more

The time-dependent multilevel approach (TDMA) and B-spline expansion technique are used to study the coherent population transfer between the quantum states of a potassium atom by a single frequency-chirped microwave pulse. The Rydberg potassium atom energy levels of n = 6–15, l = 0–5 states in zero field are calculated and the results are in good agreement with other theoretical values. The time evolutions of the population transfer of the six states from n = 70 to n = 75 in different microwave fields are obtained. The results show that the coherent control of the population transfer from the lower states to the higher ones can be accomplished by optimizing the microwave pulse parameters.

Lithium atom population transfer by population trapping in a chirped microwave pulse

Guang-Rui Jia, Xianzhou Zhang, Ren Zhen-Zhong +1 more

Using a time-dependent multilevel approach, we demonstrate that lithium atoms can be transferred to states of lower principle quantum number by exposing them to a frequency chirped microwave pulse. The population transfer from n = 79 to n = 70 states of lithium atoms with more than 80% efficiency is achieved by means of the sequential two-photon Δn = −1 transitions. It is shown that the coherent control of the population transfer can be accomplished by the optimization of the chirping parameters and microwave field strength. The calculation results agree well with the experimental ones and novel explanations have been given to understand the experimental results.
