Floquet space exploration for the dual-dressing of a qubit.

The application of a periodic nonresonant drive to a system allows the Floquet engineering of effective fields described by a broad class of quantum simulated Hamiltonians. The Floquet evolution is based on two different elements. The first one is a time-independent or stroboscopic evolution with an effective Hamiltonian corresponding to the quantum simulation target.

Size-dependent optical forces on dielectric microspheres in hollow core photonic crystal fibers: erratum.

The beam shape coefficients for cylindrical vector modes are of great importance for other researchers to reproduce our results, however they were accidentally reported incorrectly in our recently published manuscript [Opt. Express30(14), 24407 (2022)10.1364/OE.

Size-dependent optical forces on dielectric microspheres in hollow core photonic crystal fibers.

Optical forces on microspheres inside hollow core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) are often predicted using a ray optics model, which constrains its validity based on wavelength and microsphere sizes. Here, we introduce a rigorous treatment of the electromagnetic forces based on the Lorenz-Mie theory, which involves analytical determination of beam shape coefficients for the optical modes of a HC-PCF. The method is more practicable than numerical approaches and, in contrast with ray optics models, it is not limited by system size parameters.

Harmonic Fine Tuning and Triaxial Spatial Anisotropy of Dressed Atomic Spins.

The addition of a weak oscillating field modifying strongly dressed spins enhances and enriches the system quantum dynamics. Through low-order harmonic mixing, the bichromatic driving generates additional rectified static field acting on the spin system. The secondary field allows for a fine tuning of the atomic response and produces effects not accessible with a single dressing field, such as a spatial triaxial anisotropy of the spin coupling constants and acceleration of the spin dynamics.

Optimized three-level quantum transfers based on frequency-modulated optical excitations.

The difficulty in combining high fidelity with fast operation times and robustness against sources of noise is the central challenge of most quantum control problems, with immediate implications for the realization of quantum devices. We theoretically propose a protocol, based on the widespread stimulated Raman adiabatic passage technique, which achieves these objectives for quantum state transfers in generic three-level systems. Our protocol realizes accelerated adiabatic following through the application of additional control fields on the optical excitations.
