- Abstract: We report experimental measurements showing how one can combine quantum
interference and thermal Doppler shifts at room temperature to detect weak
magnetic fields. We pump ${}^{87}$Rb atoms to a highly-excited, Rydberg level
using a probe and a coupling laser, leading to narrow transmission peaks of the
probe due to destructive interference of transition amplitudes, known as
Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT). While it is customary in such
setups to use counterpropagating lasers to minimize the effect of Doppler
shifts, here we show, on the contrary, that one can harness Doppler shifts in a
copropagating arrangement to produce an enhanced response to a magnetic field.
In particular, we demonstrate an order-of-magnitude bigger splitting in the
transmission spectrum as compared to the counterpropagating case. We explain
and generalize our findings with theoretical modelling and simulations based on
a Lindblad master equation. Our results pave the way to using quantum effects
for magnetometry in readily deployable room-temperature platforms.

wavenumber mismatch in hot atoms [0.0699049312989311]
In a three-level atomic ladder-system, Doppler broadening limits the visibility of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) when the probe and control fields are co-propagating.
We show the underlying mechanism to be an avoided crossing of the states dressed by the coupling laser as a function of atomic velocities when $k_pk_c$.
We investigate how the non-reciprocity scales with wavelength mismatch and show how to experimentally demonstrate the effect in a simple Rydberg-EIT system using thermal Rubidium atoms.

A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins.
These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field.
We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
