Interferometric Control of Photo-Chemical Reactions in 87Rb Bose-Einstein Condensates

Abstract

We report on an interferometric control of photo-chemical reactions in 87Rb condensates, where the scattering channels behaves as if the arms of an interferometer. We control the relative phase between the scattering channels by exploiting the quadratic Zeeman shift at low magnetic field strengths.

Constructive Quantum Interference in a Photo-Chemical Reaction of $^{87}$Rb Bose Einstein Condensate

Sumit Suresh Kale, Yong P. Chen, Sabre Kais

Interferences emerge when multiple pathways coexist together leading towards the same result. A Recent study by Blasing and coworkers [PRL 121(7):073202] showed that in a photo-association reaction of Raman dressed spin orbit coupled $^{87}$Rb Bose Einstein Condensate when the reactant spin state is prepared in a coherent superposition of multiple bare spin states it leads to a destructive interference between reaction pathways. Here we report a theoretical study for a reaction scheme which leads to constructive quantum interference. This is achieved by changing the reactive scattering channel in the reaction. As the origin of coherent control comes from the spin part of the wavefunction it is sufficient to use radio frequency coupling to achieve the superposition state. Our results show that interferences can be used as a resource for the coherent control of photo-chemical reactions. The approach is general and can be employed to study a wide spectra of chemical reactions in the ultracold regime.

Interferometry using spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Ruggero Vasile, H. Mäkelä, Kalle‐Antti Suominen

We study the time-evolution of an optically trapped spinor Bose-Einstein condensate under the influence of a dominating magnetic bias field in the z-direction, and a perpendicular smaller field that couples the spinor states. We show that if the bias field depends quadratically on time, the relative phases of the spinor components affect the populations of the final state. This allows one to measure the differences in the time-evolution of the relative phases, thereby realizing a multi-arm interferometer in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate.

Constructive Quantum Interference in Photochemical Reactions

Sumit Suresh Kale, Yong P. Chen, Sabre Kais

Interferences emerge when multiple pathways coexist together, leading toward the same result. Here, we report a theoretical study for a reaction scheme that leads to constructive quantum interference in a photoassociation (PA) reaction of a 87 Rb Bose–Einstein condensate where the reactant spin state is prepared in a coherent superposition of multiple bare spin states. This is achieved by changing the reactive scattering channel in the PA reaction. As the origin of coherent control comes from the spin part of the wavefunction, we show that it is sufficient to use radio frequency (RF) coupling to achieve the superposition state. We simulate the RF coupling on a quantum processor (IBMQ Lima), and our results show that interferences can be used as a resource for the coherent control of photochemical reactions. The approach is general and can be employed to study a wide spectrum of chemical reactions in the ultracold regime.

Controlling phase separation of binary Bose-Einstein condensates via mixed-spin-channel Feshbach resonance

賢 東條, Yoshihisa Taguchi, Y. MASUYAMA +3 more

We investigate controlled phase separation of a binary Bose-Einstein condensate in the proximity of a mixed-spin-channel Feshbach resonance in the $|F=1,{m}_{F}=+1\ensuremath{\rangle}$ and $|F=2,{m}_{F}=\ensuremath{-}1\ensuremath{\rangle}$ states of $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ at a magnetic field of 9.10 G. Phase separation occurs on the lower-magnetic-field side of the Feshbach resonance while the two components overlap on the higher-magnetic-field side. The Feshbach resonance curve of the scattering length is obtained from the shape of the atomic cloud by comparison with the numerical analysis of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations.

Molecular Bose-Einstein condensate as an amplifier of weak interactions

V. V. Flambaum, J. S. M. Ginges

Collisions and chemical reactions of molecules in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are extremely sensitive to weak fields. This sensitivity arises due to the high density of compound resonances and a macroscopic number of molecules with kinetic energy E=0 (perfect energy resolution). We suggest that chemical reactions in molecular BECs could be used to enhance effects produced by small external perturbations and search for a parity-violating energy difference in chiral molecules.

⁸⁷Rubidium Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices

Gretchen K. Campbell

Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices have proven to be a powerful tool for studying a wide variety of physics. In this thesis a series of experiments using optical lattices to manipulate 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensates are described. A systematic shift of the photon recoil momentum due to the index of refraction of a dilute gas of atoms has been observed. The recoil frequency was measured interferometrically using a two-pulse Ramsey interferometer. The two pulses were created using a one dimensional optical lattice. By measuring the resulting frequency as a function of the lattice detuning from the atomic resonance, we found a distinctive dispersive shape for the recoil frequency that fit the recoil momentum as nr~k. A one-dimensional optical lattice was used to modify the dispersion relation of the condensate in order to demonstrate the matter-wave analogue of Optical Parametric Generation (OPG) and Amplification (OPA) of photons. A condensate was loaded into a moving optical lattice with adjustable quasimomentum k0. As the value for k0 was varied, we observed elastic scattering into two distinct final momentum states k1
