手性环环境中的间歇性退相干阻断
Intermittent decoherence blockade in a chiral ring environment
摘要:
人们早就认识到,原子的辐射发射并不是单个原子本身的固有特性,而是在很大程度上受到光子环境的特性和原子之间的集体相互作用的影响。一般认为,防止完全衰变和/或退相干需要存在暗态,即,在耗散环境下不会衰变的修饰光原子态。在这里,我们表明,与这样一个共同的智慧,消相干抑制可以间歇地实现在有限的时间尺度上,而不需要任何暗态,当原子耦合到手性环环境,导致一个高度非指数的阶梯衰减。我们称之为间歇性退相干阻断的这种效应是由现在发射的光和过去发射的光之间的周期性相消干涉引起的,即,来自延迟相干量子反馈。
英文摘要:
It has long been recognized that emission of radiation from atoms is not an intrinsic property of individual atoms themselves, but it is largely affected by the characteristics of the photonic environment and by the collective interaction among the atoms. A general belief is that preventing full decay and/or decoherence requires the existence of dark states, i.e., dressed light-atom states that do not decay despite the dissipative environment. Here, we show that, contrary to such a common wisdom, decoherence suppression can be intermittently achieved on a limited time scale, without the need for any dark state, when the atom is coupled to a chiral ring environment, leading to a highly non-exponential staircase decay. This effect, that we refer to as intermittent decoherence blockade, arises from periodic destructive interference between light emitted in the present and light emitted in the past, i.e., from delayed coherent quantum feedback.
