摘要:

单个受限自旋与费米库自旋之间的相互作用导致了多体物理学中最壮观的现象之一--近藤效应。在这里,我们报告的观察近藤关联的光吸收测量的单个半导体量子点隧道耦合到一个简并电子气。与输运实验形成鲜明对比的是,单个光子的吸收导致系统哈密顿量的突然变化和近藤关联的量子猝灭。通过推断的特征幂律指数从实验的吸收线的形状,我们发现一个独特的签名的形式的安德森正交性灾难的淬火,起源于消失的重叠之间的初始和最终的多体波函数。我们还表明,幂律指数,确定的正交度可以通过施加外部磁场,逐渐关闭近藤相关调谐。我们的实验表明,对单个人造原子的光学测量为以前专门使用输运光谱研究的多体现象提供了新的视角。此外,他们开创了量子光学的新范式,其中多体物理影响电场和强度相关性。

英文摘要:

The interaction between a single confined spin and the spins of a Fermionic reservoir leads to one of the most spectacular phenomena of many body physics -- the Kondo effect. Here we report the observation of Kondo correlations in optical absorption measurements on a single semiconductor quantum dot tunnel-coupled to a degenerate electron gas. In stark contrast to transport experiments, absorption of a single photon leads to an abrupt change in the system Hamiltonian and a quantum quench of Kondo correlations. By inferring the characteristic power law exponents from the experimental absorption line-shapes, we find a unique signature of the quench in the form of an Anderson orthogonality catastrophe, originating from a vanishing overlap between the initial and final many-body wave-functions. We also show that the power-law exponents that determine the degree of orthogonality can be tuned by applying an external magnetic field which gradually turns the Kondo correlations off. Our experiments demonstrate that optical measurements on single artificial atoms offer new perspectives on many-body phenomena previously studied exclusively using transport spectroscopy. Moreover, they initiate a new paradigm for quantum optics where many-body physics influences electric field and intensity correlations.
