Optimal Pulse sequences for efficient population transfer in lower (n<10) Rydberg states Mudessar Shah How Camp Marc Trachy Supervisor: Brett DePaola
Application Need for a system to be in a specified quantum state • Laser control of chemical reactions • Atom optics • Quantum information
Absorp. k E=ћω P=ћK J= ћ E=0 P=0 J= 0 E=ћω P=ћK J= ћ Two level system 1.0 adiab. coh. exc. Exci. population 0.5 incoh. exc. Pe(t)=1/2[1-e-F(T)] F(T)= I(t)dt Pe(t)=1/2[1-cosΩt] when radiation varies in amplitude cosine argument is replaced by so-called pulse area 0.0 time
Advantages • Excitation between state of same parity can be produced, for which single photon transition are forbidden for electric dipole radiation, or between magnetic sublevels. (for 3 and higher) • Excitation efficiency can be made insensitive to many of experimental details (pulse area, Shape etc). • 100% population transfer between same parity state is possible
