摘要:

拓扑、几何和规范场在量子物理学中扮演着关键角色,如阿哈罗诺夫-玻姆效应、整数量子霍尔效应、自旋霍尔和拓扑绝缘体等基本现象。拓扑保护的概念也成为量子信息处理和容错量子计算的许多方案中的重要组成部分。这类系统的物理性质主要取决于基础完整性的对称群。本文研究了激光冷却的锶原子气体与激光场通过四能级共振三角架耦合的情况。通过变换三脚架光束的相对相位,实现了作用于系统暗态的非阿贝尔SU(2)几何变换,并证明了它们的非阿贝尔性质。我们还揭示了印记在原子上的规范场如何影响它们的内部状态动力学。提出了一种基于原子在三脚架光束中的干涉位移测温的新方法。

英文摘要:

Topology, geometry, and gauge fields play key roles in quantum physics as exemplified by fundamental phenomena such as the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the integer quantum Hall effect, the spin Hall, and topological insulators. The concept of topological protection has also become a salient ingredient in many schemes for quantum information processing and fault-tolerant quantum computation. The physical properties of such systems crucially depend on the symmetry group of the underlying holonomy. We study here a laser-cooled gas of strontium atoms coupled to laser fields through a 4-level resonant tripod scheme. By cycling the relative phases of the tripod beams, we realize non-Abelian SU(2) geometrical transformations acting on the dark-states of the system and demonstrate their non-Abelian character. We also reveal how the gauge field imprinted on the atoms impact their internal state dynamics. It leads to a new thermometry method based on the interferometric displacement of atoms in the tripod beams.
