Internal-quantum-state engineering using magnetic fields
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 06:22 authored by R T Sang, G S Summy, Benjamin T H Varcoe, W R MacGillivray, M C StandageWe present a general, semi-classical theory describing the interaction of an atom with an internal state consisting of a number of degenerate energy levels with static and oscillating magnetic fields. This general theory is applied to the 3P2 metastable energy level of neon to determine the dynamics of the populations and coherences that are formed due to the interaction. Through these calculations we demonstrate how the interaction may be used for the internal state preparation of an atom.
