Spin squeezed states can be used to improve the performance of atomic clocks and magnetometers. Recently, atom-light interaction of a similar type has also been used to demonstrate quantum memory and quantum teleportation between light and matter. Furthermore, this interaction facilitates studies in the field of controlled quantum dynamics.

Spin wave diffraction control and read-out with a quantum memory for light

Gabriel Hetet, David Guéry-Odelin

A scheme for control and read-out of diffracted spins waves to propagating light fields is presented. Diffraction is obtained via sinusoidally varying lights shifts and ideal one-to-one mapping to light is realized using a gradient echo quantum memory. We also show that dynamical control of the diffracted spin waves spatial orders can be implemented to realize a quantum pulse sequencer for temporal modes that have high time-bandwidth products. Full numerical solutions suggest that both co-propagating and counterpropagating light shift geometries can be used, making the proposal applicable to hot and cold atomic vapours as well as solid state systems with two-level atoms.A scheme for control and read-out of diffracted spins waves to propagating light fields is presented.

Manipulation of heteronuclear spin dynamics with microwave and vector light shift

Lintao Li, Bing Zhu, Bo Lü +2 more

We report the observation and manipulation of heteronuclear spin dynamics in a spin-1 mixture of ultracold $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ and $^{23}\mathrm{Na}$ atoms. The dynamics is driven by the interspecies spin-dependent interaction and shows a pronounced dependence on magnetic fields with influences from both linear and quadratic Zeeman shifts. Similar to the well-studied homonuclear cases, the interspecies spin dynamics can be controlled by tuning the quadratic Zeeman shift with far-detuned microwave fields. In addition, we successfully realize spin dynamics' control with vector light shifts which act as a species-selective effective magnetic field on $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms. Both methods show negligible loss of atoms thus will be powerful techniques for investigating spin dynamics with fast temporal and high spatial resolutions.We report the observation and manipulation of heteronuclear spin dynamics in a spin-1 mixture of ultracold $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ and $^{23}\mathrm{Na}$ atoms.
