We examine the effect of a parasitic rf magnetic field, attributed to ion trapping, on the highly anticipated nuclear clock based on ^{229}Th^{3+} [C. J. Campbell et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 120802 (2012)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.108.120802]. The rf magnetic field induces an ac Zeeman shift to the clock frequency. As we demonstrate, this shift threatens to be the dominant systematic frequency shift for the clock, exceeding other systematic frequency shifts and the projected systematic uncertainty of the clock by orders of magnitude. We propose practical means to suppress or eliminate this shift.

We explore the spin dynamics process in ferromagnets driven by chirped THz fields, utilizing the spin dynamics model derived from the inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Our findings reveal a substantial enhancement in spin dynamics intensity, ranging from 15% to 20% when the sample is subjected to a chirped THz pulse. Additionally, it is observed that chirped THz fields have the capability to shift the peak of spin dynamics, with the variation dependent on the chirping time of the THz pulse.

We propose a technique for frequency locking a laser to the Zeeman sublevel transitions between the 5P3/2 intermediate and 32D5/2 Rydberg states in 87Rb. This method allows for continuous frequency tuning over 0.6 GHz by varying an applied external magnetic field.

A retrospective assessment of forecasting the peak of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 wave in England.

PLoS Comput Biol

September 2024

The Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology & Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research, School of Life Sciences and Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL, United Kingdom.

We discuss the invasion of the Omicron BA.1 variant into England as a paradigm for real-time model fitting and projection. Here we use a mixture of simple SIR-type models, analysis of the early data and a more complex age-structure model fit to the outbreak to understand the dynamics.

AC Zeeman effect in microfabricated surface traps.

Rev Sci Instrum

September 2024

Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185, USA.

Quantum processors and atomic clocks based on trapped ions often utilize an ion's hyperfine transition as the qubit state or frequency reference, respectively. These states are a good choice because they are insensitive in first order to magnetic field fluctuations, leading to long coherence times and stable frequency splittings. In trapped ions, however, these states are still subject to the second order AC Zeeman effect due to the necessary presence of an oscillating magnetic field used to confine the ions in a Paul trap configuration.

Scalable Spin Squeezing in Two-Dimensional Arrays of Dipolar Large-S Spins.

Phys Rev Lett

August 2024

ENS de Lyon, CNRS, Laboratoire de Physique, F-69342 Lyon, France.

We theoretically show that the spin-spin interactions realized in two-dimensional Mott insulators of large-spin magnetic atoms (such as Cr, Er, or Dy) lead to scalable spin squeezing along the nonequilibrium unitary evolution initialized in a coherent spin state. An experimentally relevant perturbation to the collective squeezing dynamics is offered by a quadratic Zeeman shift, which leads instead to squeezing of individual spins. Making use of a truncated cumulant expansion for the quantum fluctuations of the spin array, we show that, for sufficiently small quadratic shifts, the spin squeezing dynamics is akin to that produced by the paradigmatic one-axis-twisting model-as expected from an effective separation between collective-spin and spin-wave variables.
