Rydberg atomic polarimetry of radio-frequency fields

This paper investigates how the angular momentum quantization of Rydberg atoms creates distinct, universal spectroscopic fingerprints in electromagnetically-induced transparency signals when exposed to rotating linearly polarized radio-frequency fields, revealing two disparate atomic ladder behaviors that challenge prevailing interpretations of SI-traceable Rydberg atom electrometers.

Heterogeneous entanglement between a trapped ion and a solid-state quantum memory

This paper demonstrates a significant breakthrough in hybrid quantum networking by successfully entangling a single trapped ytterbium ion with a solid-state europium-doped quantum memory over a 75-meter distance, achieving a fidelity of 89.21% and violating the CHSH-Bell inequality to confirm nonlocality between heterogeneous quantum nodes.

In-situ Characterization of Light-Matter Coupling in Multimode Circuit-QED Systems

This paper presents a general measurement protocol that enables the in-situ characterization of light-matter coupling to individual photonic modes in complex multimode circuit-QED systems by leveraging AC-Stark and Kerr effects, thereby eliminating the need for single-photon resolution or calibration, and validates the method using a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to a microwave resonator lattice.

Fundamental linewidth limit of electromagnetically induced transparency in a thermal Rydberg ladder

This paper derives an analytic expression for the Doppler residual lineshape in thermal Rydberg ladder EIT, experimentally demonstrating a record-breaking two-photon energy resolution of 2.04 MHz (theoretically limited to 1.84 MHz) for Rubidium, which is approximately twice as narrow as previous estimates and measurements.

Driven-Dissipative Landau Polaritons: Two Highly Nonlinearly-Coupled Quantum Harmonic Oscillators

This paper demonstrates that a driven-dissipative system coupling the Landau levels of a charge-neutral particle in a synthetic gauge potential to a quantized optical cavity can be effectively modeled as two highly nonlinearly coupled quantum harmonic oscillators, giving rise to hybrid "Landau polaritons" with unique entanglement, squeezing, and diverse nonequilibrium dynamics.

Photon statistics in waveguide QED: II Exact solutions in a thermodynamic limit

This paper presents exact analytical solutions for photon statistics in waveguide quantum electrodynamics within the thermodynamic limit, demonstrating that a second-order mean-field method captures exponentially enhanced superradiance followed by subradiance, while revealing that shot-to-shot fluctuations vanish and second-order coherence becomes trivial as the number of atoms approaches infinity.

Angular distribution of Kα x rays following nonradiative double electron capture in relativistic collisions of Xe54+ ions with Kr and Xe atoms

This paper presents an experimental study at the HIRFL-CSR storage ring demonstrating that the angular distribution of Kα1 radiation from Xe52+ ions produced via nonradiative double electron capture in collisions with Kr and Xe targets is anisotropic and sensitive to collision energy and target type, while Kα2 radiation remains isotropic, revealing distinct differences from single electron capture processes.
