• Title: Regeneration of Spin Wave in Atomic Vapor
• Abstract summary: We observe a phenomenon reminiscent of life: The atomic spin wave stored in atomic vapor has a capability of absorbing energy from an external light source, and exhibits behaviors akin to active regeneration. Our results suggest that the regeneration mechanism holds promise for mitigating the pronounced decoherence typically encountered in spin waves carried by room-temperature media.

• Abstract: Conventionally, atomic vapor is perceived as a non-living system governed by the principles of thermodynamics and statistical physics. However, the demarcation line between life and non-life appears to be less distinct than previously thought. In a study of amplifying spin waves, we observe a phenomenon reminiscent of life: The atomic spin wave stored in atomic vapor has a capability of absorbing energy from an external light source, and exhibits behaviors akin to active regeneration. We demonstrate that this regeneration significantly enhances the lifetime and retrieval efficiency of the spin wave, while concurrently the noise is effectively suppressed. Our results suggest that the regeneration mechanism holds promise for mitigating the pronounced decoherence typically encountered in spin waves carried by room-temperature media, therefore offering potential applications in the realms of quantum information and precision measurements at ambient conditions.

  Quantum many-body scarred systems exhibit atypical dynamical behavior, evading thermalization and featuring periodic state revivals. We investigate the impact of projective measurements on the dynamics in the scar subspace for the paradigmatic PXP model. We identify a measurement-induced phase resynchronization, countering the natural dephasing of quantum scars, as the key mechanism underlying this phenomenon.

  In this work, we investigate the effects of rotation on the physical properties of a quantum dot described by a radial potential and subjected to a rotating reference frame. The interplay between rotation and confinement is analyzed by solving the Schr"odinger equation for the system. We compute key thermodynamic properties, including the density of states, magnetization, entropy, and heat capacity, in the absence of an external magnetic field.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.
