We demonstrate fourth-order quantum beat between sunlight and single photons from a quantum dot. With a fast time-resolved detection system, we observed high-visibility quantum beat between the independent photons of different frequencies from the two astronomically separated light sources. The temporal dynamics of the beat oscillation indicate the coherent behavior of the interfering photons, and the raw visibility of two-photon interference shows violation of the classical limit with a frequency mismatch of three-times the line width.

Vibronic coherence has been studied for years, but direct comparisons between the rich experimental features and theory remain rare. In this work, we investigate the vibronic coherent quantum beat of a four-layer platinum carbonyl cluster [Pt3(CO)6]42- in a solution utilizing femtosecond vis-pump/vis-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. By varying the excitational wavelength, quantum beats coupled to either the electronic ground state or the excited state are selectively prepared.

Observation and understanding of fine-structure splitting of bright excitons in lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are crucial to their emerging applications in quantum light sources and exciton coherence manipulation. Recent studies demonstrate that ensemble-level polarization-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy can reveal the quantum beats arising from the coherence between two fine-structure levels. Here we report the observation of an extra fine-structure quantum coherence hidden in previous studies by using cryo-magnetic quantum beat spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Divalent atoms have potential for improved control in quantum simulation and computing due to a second valence electron, with circular Rydberg atoms being especially promising for avoiding autoionization.
- A specific experiment used electric quadrupole coupling between a metastable 4D_{3/2} level and a high-n circular Rydberg qubit in ^{88}Sr atoms, measuring a small differential level shift with advanced interferometry techniques.
- The study demonstrated effective qubit coherence maintenance despite continuous photon scattering, opening new avenues for laser cooling and further manipulation of Rydberg atoms in quantum computing.
