- Title: Kapitza-Dirac blockade: A universal tool for the deterministic
preparation of non-Gaussian oscillator states
- Authors: Wayne Cheng-Wei Huang, Herman Batelaan, and Markus Arndt
- Abstract summary: We show how interference in the transition amplitudes in a bichromatic laser field can suppress the sequential climbing of harmonic oscillator states.
This technique can transform the harmonic oscillator into a coherent two-level system or be used to build a large-momentum-transfer beam splitter for matter-waves.

- Abstract: Harmonic oscillators count among the most fundamental quantum systems with
important applications in molecular physics, nanoparticle trapping, and quantum
information processing. Their equidistant energy level spacing is often a
desired feature, but at the same time a challenge if the goal is to
deterministically populate specific eigenstates. Here, we show how interference
in the transition amplitudes in a bichromatic laser field can suppress the
sequential climbing of harmonic oscillator states (Kapitza-Dirac blockade) and
achieve selective excitation of energy eigenstates, Schr\"{o}dinger cats and
other non-Gaussian states. This technique can transform the harmonic oscillator
into a coherent two-level system or be used to build a large-momentum-transfer
beam splitter for matter-waves. To illustrate the universality of the concept,
we discuss feasible experiments that cover many orders of magnitude in mass,
from single electrons over large molecules to dielectric nanoparticles.

At quantum critical points, correlations decay as a power law, with exponents determined by a set of universal scaling dimensions.
Here, we employ a Rydberg quantum simulator to adiabatically prepare critical ground states of both a one-dimensional ring and a two-dimensional square lattice.
By accounting for and tuning the openness of our quantum system, we are able to directly observe power-law correlations and extract the corresponding scaling dimensions.
