  • 在合成维度中构建可调谐的规范场,为精确操控多能级量子系统的相干演化及开展量子模拟提供了一条重要途径.本文基于量子相干控制理论,系统研究了在宽带宽激光脉冲全局驱动下,超冷87Rb原子超精细能级构成的四格点闭合环路中,谱相位对有效合成磁通的调控机制及其对量子态布居转移的影响.数值求解含时薛定谔方程的结果表明,谱相位调制可有效控制合成磁通,实现系统在相消干涉主导的布居抑制与相干布居转移之间的切换.进一步分析发现,在无外部调制时,由闭合环路中电偶极跃迁矩阵元乘积的相对符号所决定的内禀等效π磁通天然存在,使不同双光子拉曼跃迁路径之间发生相消干涉,从而使该四能级闭合环路构成描述类Aharonov-Bohm (AB)笼相消干涉机制的最小模型,并将量子布居限制于特定的能级子空间内.此外,该相消干涉导致的布居限制现象对脉冲带宽和单光子失谐表现出一定的鲁棒性.本研究通过谱相位整形宽带宽脉冲场,为合成维度中规范场的调控及多能级量子系统的相干操控提供了一种理论途径.

     

    Engineering gauge fields in synthetic dimensions provides a useful framework for studying quantum interference associated with effective synthetic flux and coherent population dynamics. We study a spectral phase control scheme for tuning the effective synthetic flux in a finite synthetic structure formed by two hyperfine levels in the ground electronic state and two hyperfine levels in the excited electronic state of ultracold 87Rb atoms on the D1 line. These four levels form a four site closed diamond loop, which serves as a minimal physical model for examining an interference mechanism analogous to Aharonov Bohm caging. The loop is driven by a broadband laser pulse field shaped by spectral phase, whose spectrum covers the relevant hyperfine splittings, so that several transitions allowed by electric dipole selection rules are addressed coherently by the same optical field. By solving the time dependent Schrödinger equation and analyzing the closed loop phase associated with the four optical couplings, we examine how spectral phase modulation changes the effective loop flux and affects the interference between two photon Raman transition pathways. Numerical simulations show that changing the spectral phase can switch the dynamics between population suppression caused by destructive interference and coherent population transfer. In the absence of externally imposed spectral phase modulation, the four level loop exhibits an intrinsic effective π synthetic flux, which originates from the relative sign structure of the electric dipole transition matrix elements. Under this condition, the competing Raman transition amplitudes interfere destructively, leading to suppression of the target state population and confinement of the dynamics within a restricted energy level subspace. Furthermore, this population confinement induced by destructive interference exhibits robustness with respect to variations in pulse bandwidth and single photon detuning. The results clarify how the dipole sign structure can generate an intrinsic loop phase and how spectral phase shaping can tune the associated synthetic flux. This study provides a theoretical approach for controlling effective gauge fields in synthetic dimensions and coherently manipulating multilevel quantum systems through spectral phase shaping of broadband pulse fields.
