Several modifications are made on our previous physical and optical system. The effective atomic signal in the top detection zone is increased to 2.5 times with 87% pumping efficiency. The temperature of the cold atom cloud is increased by 1.4 μK. We study the dependences of the effective signal gain and pumping efficiency on the pumping laser intensity and detuning. The effects of σ transition are discussed. This technique may be used in the future space cold atom clocks.展开更多

The results show that the fidelity significantly decreases with the values of Lamb-Dicke parameter η and coherent state amplitude α increasing. For η= 0.20 and α = 3, the typical values of experimental parameters, the fidelity is rather low （3070）. A scheme for generating the SCS is proposed without making the Lamb-Dike approximation in laser-ion interaction, and the fidelity of the generated SCS is about 99% for the typical values of experimental Lamb- Dicke parameters.展开更多

The dark state depends strongly on field Rabi frequencies, spontaneous decay rates, and the initial atomic population in a complicated way. Analytical results reveal that it is a sixfold degenerate dark state with its three components superposed both coherently and incoherently due to population redistribution from spontaneous emission.展开更多

Examples are a checkerboard lattice around half filling and a kagome lattice above one third filling. Instead of pairing between spin states, here we focus on pairing interactions between different orbital states. We find that our systems have only odd-parity （orbital） pairing instability while the singlet （orbital） pairing instability vanishes thanks to the quadratic band touching. In the mean field level, the ground state is found to be a chiral p-wave pairing superfluid （mixed with finite f-wave pairing order-parameters） which supports Majorana fermions.展开更多
