A quantum memory protocol of controlled ac Stark echoes (CASE) based on a double rephasing photon echo scheme via controlled Rabi flopping is proposed. The double rephasing scheme of photon echoes inherently satisfies the no-population inversion requirement for quantum memories, but the resultant absorptive echo remains a fundamental problem. Herein, it is reported that the first echo in the double rephasing scheme can be dynamically controlled so that it does not affect the second echo, which is accomplished by using unbalanced ac Stark shifts. Then, the second echo is coherently controlled to be emissive via controlled coherence conversion. Finally a near perfect ultralong CASE is presented using a backward echo scheme. Compared with other methods such as dc Stark echoes, the present protocol is all-optical with advantages of wavelength-selective dynamic control of quantum processing for erasing, buffering, and channel multiplexing.

The objective was to investigate the influence of different pre-storage temperatures in the dicentric chromosome analysis (DCA) protocol (22°C vs. 37°C) by using γ-H2AX + 53BP1 foci as a marker for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double-strand break (DSB) damage induction and repair and the formation of dicentric chromosomes as a result of mis-repair. Repair of γ-H2AX + 53BP1 DSB foci was absent in samples that were incubated for 2 h at 22°C after exposure of 0.

Over the last two decades, quantum memories have been intensively studied for potential applications of quantum repeaters in quantum networks. Various protocols have also been developed. To satisfy no noise echoes caused by spontaneous emission processes, a conventional two-pulse photon-echo scheme has been modified.

Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) has been widely employed as an efficient tool to reveal the impact of intermolecular electronic and/or vibronic quantum coherence on excitation energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes. However, intramolecular vibrational coherence would also contribute to oscillating signals in 2D spectra, along with the intermolecular coherence signals that are directly related to energy transfer. In this work, the possibility of screening the vibrational coherence signals is explored through polarization-dependent 2DES.

A double rephasing scheme of a photon echo is analyzed for inversion-free photon echo-based quantum memories using controlled Rabi flopping, where the Rabi flopping is used for phase control of collective atom coherence. Unlike the rephasing-caused π-phase shift in a single rephasing scheme, the control Rabi flopping between the excited state and an auxiliary third state induces coherence inversion. Thus, the absorptive photon echo in a double rephasing scheme can be manipulated to be emissive.

A near-perfect storage time-extended photon echo-based quantum memory protocol has been analyzed by solving the Maxwell-Bloch equations for a backward scheme in a three-level system. The backward photon echo scheme is combined with a controlled coherence conversion process via controlled Rabi flopping to a third state, where the control Rabi flopping collectively shifts the phase of the ensemble coherence. The propagation direction of photon echoes is coherently determined by the phase-matching condition between the data (quantum) and the control (classical) pulses.
