6 p, 683.9 KB Coherent patterning of matter waves with subwavelength localization / Mompart Penina, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Ahufinger, Verònica (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Birkl, Gerhard (Universität Darmstadt. Institut für Angewandte Physik, Technische) ; American Physical Society
We propose the subwavelength localization via adiabatic passage (SLAP) technique to coherently achieve state-selective patterning of matter waves well beyond the diffraction limit. The SLAP technique consists in coupling two partially overlapping and spatially structured laser fields to three internal levels of the matter wave yielding state-selective localization at those positions where the adiabatic passage process does not occur.

Departament de Física) ; Plaja, L. (Universidad de Salamanca. Departamento de Física Aplicada) ; American Physical Society
We analyze the dipole spectrum of a two-level atom excited by a nonresonant intense monochromatic field under the electric dipole approximation and beyond the rotating wave approximation. We show that the apparently complex spectral structure can be completely described by two families: harmonic frequencies of the driving field and field-induced nonlinear fluorescence. [...]

8 p, 806.0 KB Adiabatic splitting, transport, and self-trapping of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential / Ottaviani, Carlo (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Ahufinger, Verònica (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Corbalán, R. (Ramón) (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Mompart Penina, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; American Physical Society
We show that the adiabatic dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double-well potential can be described in terms of a dark variable resulting from the combination of the population imbalance and the spatial atomic coherence between the two wells. [...]

7 p, 561.1 KB Filtering of matter-wave vibrational states via spatial adiabatic passage / Loiko, Yury (National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. B.I. Stepanov Institute of Physics) ; Ahufinger, Verònica (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Corbalán, R. (Ramón) (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Birkl, Gerhard (Universität Darmstadt. Institut für Angewandte Physik, Technische) ; Mompart Penina, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; American Physical Society
We discuss the filtering of the vibrational states of a cold atom in an optical trap by chaining this trap with two empty ones and adiabatically controlling the tunneling. Matter-wave filtering is performed by selectively transferring the population of the highest populated vibrational state to the most distant trap while the population of the rest of the states remains in the initial trap.

8 p, 406.5 KB Quantum-state storage and processing for polarization qubits in an inhomogeneously broadened Λ-type three-level medium / Viscor, Daniel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Ferraro, Alessandro (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Loiko, Yury (National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. B.I. Stepanov Institute of Physics) ; Mompart Penina, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; Ahufinger, Verònica (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Física) ; American Physical Society
We address the propagation of a single-photon pulse with two polarization components, i. e. , a polarization qubit, in an inhomogeneously broadened "phaseonium" Λ-type three-level medium. We combine some of the nontrivial propagation effects characteristic for this kind of coherently prepared systems and the controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening technique to propose several quantum information-processing applications, such as a protocol for polarization qubit filtering and sieving as well as a tunable polarization beam splitter.

We propose a quantum memory for a single-photon wave packet in a superposition of two different colors, i. e. , two different frequency components, using the electromagnetically induced transparency technique in a double-Λ system. [...]

7 p, 396.1 KB Single-site addressing of ultracold atoms beyond the diffraction limit via position-dependent adiabatic passage / Viscor, Daniel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

We propose a single-site addressing implementation based on the subwavelength localization via adiabatic passage (SLAP) technique. We consider a sample of ultracold neutral atoms loaded into a two-dimensional optical lattice with one atom per site. [...]

Departament de Física) ; Vilaseca, Ramon (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament de Física i Enginyeria Nuclear) ; American Physical Society
Local-field effects are known to induce bistability in dense optical media. We examine theoretically whether this property is preserved in broad-area cavities, and show that bistability between the homogeneous lasing and nonlasing states of the system persists provided a Fourier filtering technique is used to prevent off-axis emission.

We analyze finite temperature effects in the generation of bright solitons in condensates in optical lattices. We show that even in the presence of strong phase fluctuations solitonic structures with a well defined phase profile can be created. [...]
