  • 本文研究了射频相位调控下冷原子内态的相干拉比振荡动力学过程。在实验中,利用双射频场耦合87Rb原子的两个超精细基态\left|F=1, m_F=-1\right\rangle 和 \left|F=1, m_F=0\right\rangle,通过测量原子的动力学演化过程,得到了不同射频相位下的耦合强度,并清晰揭示了射频相位对其大小的调控作用,系统验证了耦合强度随相位呈周期性变化的规律,实现了耦合强度从零到最大值的连续、高精度操控。通过相位调控实现了1微秒级别耦合强度切换,比功率调节快1-2个数量级。相较于激光相位,射频相位在调控原子内态间的耦合强度时,不仅具备更高的稳定性,更可实现毫弧度量级的精密调控。双射频场方案的引入进一步丰富了原子内态间耦合强度调控的多样性,为耦合强度的精准操控提供了新的途径。这一技术为在冷原子体系中实现复杂的量子态操控和量子模拟提供了新的手段。

     

    In this paper, we investigate the coherent Rabi oscillation dynamics of internal states in ultracold atoms under radio-frequency (RF) phase control. In the experiment, a single Zeeman sublevel of 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) was first prepared using an all-optical method. A single RF field was then applied to manipulate the atomic populations between two hyperfine ground states \left|F=1, m_F=-1\right\rangle and \left|F=1, m_F=0\right\rangle of 87Rb. By measuring the time evolution of the atomic dynamics, the RF coupling strength was calibrated. Then, two RF fields were employed to couple the two hyperfine ground states \left|F=1, m_F=-1\right\rangle and \left|F=1, m_F=0\right\rangle of 87Rb. By measuring the atomic dynamical evolution under different relative RF phases, the dependence of the coupling strength on the RF phase was obtained. The results clearly reveal the controlling effect of the RF phase on the coupling strength and systematically verify the periodic variation of the coupling strength with phase. Continuous and high-precision control of the coupling strength from zero to its maximum value was achieved. Compared with optical phase control, RF phase control exhibits higher stability because the RF wavelength is much larger than the atomic size, leading to reduced sensitivity to phase noise. Moreover, RF phase manipulation enables precision control at the milliradian level. Finally, phase control was used to achieve rapid switching of the coupling strength. Compared with conventional methods based on power modulation, replacing intensity control with phase control improves the switching speed of the coupling strength by one to two orders of magnitude, overcoming the intrinsic limitations imposed by power amplifiers. The introduction of the dual-RF-field scheme further enriches the available approaches for controlling coupling strengths between atomic internal states and provides a new pathway for precise manipulation of atomic interactions. This technique offers a new method for realizing complex quantum-state control and quantum simulation in ultracold atomic systems.
