Title: Error analysis in large area multi-Raman pulse atom interferometry due to undesired spontaneous decay
Authors: Philip Chrostoski, Scott Bisson, David Farley, Frank Narducci, Daniel Soh,
Abstract summary: atom interferometer (which controls the sensitivity) can be increased by providing a larger momentum kick to the atom cloud. One such atom optics technique involves increasing the number of central $pi-$Raman pulses. Increased time in the intermediate high energy state results in a higher probability of undesired spontaneous decay and a loss of quantum information.

Abstract: Despite the fact that atom interferometry has been a successful application of quantum sensing, a major topic of interest is the further improvement of the sensitivity of these devices. In particular, the area enclosed by the interferometer (which controls the sensitivity) can be increased by providing a larger momentum kick to the atom cloud, increasing the extent of the momentum axis. One such atom optics technique involves increasing the number of central $\pi-$Raman pulses. This technique, while providing the prerequisite additional momentum boost, also causes the atom to remain in the intermediate high energy state for longer periods of time. This additional length of time is often neglected in many treatments due to the adiabatic elimination of the higher energy state enabled by the large optical detuning. The increased time in the intermediate high energy state results in a higher probability of undesired spontaneous decay and a loss of quantum information, thereby adding error to the atom interferometer. In this work, we consider an open quantum system using the Lindblad master equation to devise a model for the atomic state dynamics that includes the undesired spontaneous decay from the intermediate high energy state. We formulate an error figure of merit to analyze limitations of an atom interferometer configured for acceleration measurements. Our theoretical results show the error figure of merit will be dominated by a $N_{R}^{-2}$ scaling factor for low numbers of $\pi-$Raman pulses, but will be dominated by a monotonic increase in error for high number of $\pi-$Raman pulses. We determined the number of $\pi$-Raman pulses that accomplishes maximal momentum transfer with a the minimal error, depending on major system parameters.

Quantifying the limits of controllability for the nitrogen-vacancy electron spin defect [0.0]
Solid-state electron spin qubits rely on control sequences of population inversion to enhance sensitivity and improve device coherence. We show that the limits of population inversion and potential impacts on applications like quantum sensing have not been assessed quantitatively. We identify a potentially realizable regime of nanosecond control duration for high-fidelity multipulse sequences.

Threshold studies for a hot beam superradiant laser including an atomic guiding potential [0.0]
Recent theoretical predictions hint at an implementation of a superradiant laser based on narrow optical clock transitions. We show that the temperature threshold can be significantly increased by using more atoms. Interestingly we see that higher order atom-field and direct atom-atom quantum correlations play only a minor role in the laser dynamics.

Thermal masses and trapped-ion quantum spin models: a self-consistent approach to Yukawa-type interactions in the $λ\!φ^4$ model [44.99833362998488]
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.

Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

Rydberg gate fidelity that arise from the entanglement of internal states of neutral atoms with the motional degrees of freedom is quantified. This occurs when the atom is in a superposition of internal states but only one of these states is manipulated by visible or UV photons. The Schr"odinger equation that describes this situation is presented and two cases are explored.

All optical materials with a positive refractive index have a value of index that is of order unity.

We propose an explanation based upon strong-disorder renormalization group theory.
