Quantum beats for the measurement of topological phases in Rabi oscillations of two-level atoms. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We demonstrate how the topological phase associated with Rabi flopping in two-level atoms in optical fields can be measured by quantum-beat experiments. We use the Zeeman coherences in j=0 to j=1 transition which is excited by both broad-band field and circularly polarized pulses. 1988 The American Physical Society.
