Phase‐Stable Multidimensional Coherent Spectroscopy Based on Dual‐Comb Interferometry

Zhong Zuo, Chenglin Gu, Siyi Wang +6 more

Abstract Multidimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS) is a highly intriguing field for the unique capacities to unravel quantum pathways of microscopic dynamics and discern different dipole–dipole interactions. These capabilities are not simultaneously accessible through any other techniques. The foundation of MDCS lies in the stable phase and accurate time information of the multi‐pulse sequences involved. Achieving the phase stability has traditionally relied on ingenious geometric optical designs and multiple feedback control systems, albeit at the cost of complexity. In this letter, a phase stability scheme for high‐resolution MDCS is proposed by replacing traditional laser sources with two highly coherent frequency combs. By employing dual‐comb interferometry, the phase distribution across a broad spectral range and the time information of all the excitation pulses are precisely measured, even in setups that lack phase stability. In the experiment, a rephasing MDCS of rubidium atoms is obtained by applying this approach, wherein the comb resolution is utilized to differentiate the couplings of hyperfine energy levels. This scheme simplifies the structure of MDCS and holds potential for applications in other MDCS systems involving many‐body interactions and non‐absorptive resonances.

Photon Correlations Control Quantum Fisher Information in Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy

Chenghong Huang, Yuta Fujihashi, Akihito Ishizaki

Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy probes interactions and dynamics of molecular systems through nonlinear optical signals. Quantum light excitation has been explored as a means of controlling these signals, raising the question of how excitation-light correlations affect the precision of molecular parameter estimation from the emitted signal. In this work, we show that photon-number correlations and two-photon coherence play distinct roles in encoding molecular information in the emitted rephasing signal. In the weak-emission regime and within the single Schmidt pair approximation, we derive a normally ordered information law in which the joint photon-number moment and the squared magnitude of the two-photon coherence weight the amplitude and phase sensitivities of the molecular response, respectively. For matched temporal modes and mean photon numbers in each input mode, two-mode squeezed vacuum enhances both weights relative to coherent excitation, whereas independent displaced squeezing preserves the amplitude weight but reduces the phase weight. The background population and its parameter dependence also affect the total quantum Fisher information, which therefore cannot be inferred from the coherent mean-field signal alone. We derive a leading-order bound on its enhancement over coherent excitation when the background population is nonnegative and common to the compared sources. These findings provide criteria for selecting excitation sources according to how the target molecular parameter affects the amplitude and phase of the response.
