Abstract

We used a Zeeman-like ac-Stark shift to perform spatially-resolved rotations of spins in cold rubidium. Using SLM we extended coherent spins oscillations time and imprinted comb-like patterns on the atomic ensemble.

Localized control of large ion crystals in a Penning trap using a spatial light modulator

Allison L. Carter, Jennifer F. Lilieholm, Bryce B. Bullock +3 more

Penning ion traps as quantum platforms have primarily utilized global control and symmetric Dicke states for quantum simulation and sensing experiments. The introduction of local control greatly increases the power of the platform as a quantum simulator but is technically challenging due to the rapid rotation of the ion crystals. Here we use an ultraviolet-compatible spatial light modulator (SLM) to imprint programmable AC Stark shift patterns with different azimuthal symmetries and gradients that co-rotate with the ion crystals, demonstrating localized coherent control of single plane crystals with greater than 100 ions. Comparisons of the measured ion qubit populations with calculations from independent measurements of the applied AC Stark shift patterns show good agreement, validating the technique and providing a path, with a higher format SLM, for parallelizable, coherent individual ion addressing in Penning traps.

Spatially resolved control of fictitious magnetic fields in a cold atomic ensemble

Adam Leszczyński, Mateusz Mazelanik, Michał Lipka +3 more

Effective and unrestricted engineering of atom-photon interactions requires precise spatially resolved control of light beams. The significant potential of such manipulations lies in a set of disciplines ranging from solid-state to atomic physics. Here we use a Zeeman-like ac-Stark shift caused by a shaped laser beam to perform rotations of spins with spatial resolution in a large ensemble of cold rubidium atoms. We show that inhomogeneities of light intensity are the main source of dephasing and, thus, decoherence; yet, with proper beam shaping, this deleterious effect is strongly mitigated allowing rotations of 15 rad within one spin-precession lifetime. Finally, as a particular example of a complex manipulation enabled by our scheme, we demonstrate a range of collapse-and-revival behaviors of a free-induction decay signal by imprinting comb-like patterns on the atomic ensemble.
