Collective Dark States of Atoms in Optical Cavities

Objective

The use of large ensembles of two-level atoms (qubits) in cavity QED allows the exploration of collective states with long-range couplings mediated by the electromagnetic field of the cavity. Such systems are interesting quantum sensors and can be used to improve the performance of lasers and atomic clocks in addition to studying fundamental quantum mechanical behaviors. However, this approach limits the possibilities of exploration to collective qubit behavior, whilst much more rich physics can be explored if one allows for the use of multi-level atoms (qudits).

In this project I will use cold atoms coupled to optical cavities in order to generate entangled dark collective states in many-level atoms. Such dark collective states can be accessed via superradiant decay and may be used to enhance some quantum sensors. In addition they are of interest to quantum simulations to simulate topological systems and to quantum computation as temporary memories. I will demonstrate the experimental realization of theoretically proposed many-level dark states for quantum simulations and controlled coherence lifetimes.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
