论文摘要
被困在一个红色失谐的复古反射的拉瓜仪梁中的原子在中心位于激光束的轴上的环内经历轨道运动。我们确定此类量子转子(QRS)的波函数,能量和变性,并阐明了能级之间的微波跃迁。然后,我们展示当环单独占用时,如何将这种QR原子用作高准确旋转传感器。
Atoms trapped in a red detuned retro-reflected Laguerre-Gaussian beam undergo orbital motion within rings whose centers are on the axis of the laser beam. We determine the wave functions, energies and degeneracies of such quantum rotors (QRs), and the microwave transitions between the energy levels are elucidated. We then show how such QR atoms can be used as high-accuracy rotation sensors when the rings are singly-occupied.
