Simultaneously giant enhancement of Forster resonance energy transfer rate and efficiency based on plasmonic excitations

We present a first-principles calculation on the rate and efficiency of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from a donor to an acceptor when they are located in the hotspots of nanoparticle clusters. Nonlocal effect has been considered by using a hydrodynamic model. It is found that FRET rate and efficiency can be enhanced simultaneously by more than 9 and 3 orders of magnitude, respectively. The physical origins for these phenomena have been disclosed. Two opposite phenomena, the energy transfer rate is independent or dependent of the local density of optical states (LDOS), have been observed in the same system under different conditions. These findings not only help us to understand the unresolved debate on how the FRET rate depends on the LDOS, but also provide a new way to realize ultrafast energy transfer process with ultrahigh efficiency.

Spin-dependent Optical Superlattice

We propose and implement a lattice scheme for coherently manipulating atomic spins. Using the vector light shift and a superlattice structure, we demonstrate experimentally the capability on parallel spin addressing in double-wells and square plaquettes with subwavelength resolution. Quantum coherence of spin manipulations is verified through measuring atom tunneling and spin exchange dynamics. Our experiment presents a building block for engineering many-body quantum states in optical lattices for realizing quantum simulation and computation tasks.

Observation of Quantum Criticality and Luttinger Liquid in One-dimensional Bose Gases

We experimentally investigate the quantum criticality and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) behavior within one-dimensional (1D) ultracold atomic gases. Based on the measured density profiles at different temperatures, the universal scaling laws of thermodynamic quantities are observed. The quantum critical regime and the relevant crossover temperatures are determined through the double-peak structure of the specific heat. In the TLL regime, we obtain the Luttinger parameter by probing sound propagation. Furthermore, a characteristic power-law behavior emerges in the measured momentum distributions of the 1D ultracold gas, confirming the existence of the TLL.

Observation of Various and Spontaneous Magnetic Skyrmionic Bubbles at Room-Temperature in a Frustrated Kagome Magnet with Uniaxial Magnetic Anisotropy

Various and spontaneous magnetic skyrmionic bubbles are experimentally observed for the first time, at room temperature in a frustrated kagome magnet Fe3Sn2 with unixial magnetic anisotropy. The magnetization dynamics were investigated using in-situ Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, revealing that the transformation between different magnetic bubbles and domains are via the motion of Bloch lines driven by applied external magnetic field. The results demonstrate that Fe3Sn2 facilitates a unique magnetic control of topological spin textures at room temperature, making it a promising candidate for further skyrmion-based spintronic devices.

Most Probable Phase Portraits of Stochastic Differential Equations and its Numerical Simulation

A practical and accessible introduction to most probable phase portraits is given. The reader is assumed to be familiar with stochastic differential equations and Euler-Maruyama method in numerical simulation. The article first introduce the method to obtain most probable phase portraits and then give its numerical simulation which is based on Euler-Maruyama method. All of these are given by examples and easy to understand.

Observation of Four-body Ring-exchange Interactions and Anyonic Fractional Statistics

Ring exchange is an elementary interaction for modeling unconventional topological matters which hold promise for efficient quantum information processing. We report the observation of four-body ring-exchange interactions and the topological properties of anyonic excitations within an ultracold atom system. A minimum toric code Hamiltonian in which the ring exchange is the dominant term, was implemented by engineering a Hubbard Hamiltonian that describes atomic spins in disconnected plaquette arrays formed by two orthogonal superlattices. The ring-exchange interactions were resolved from the dynamical evolutions in the spin orders, matching well with the predicted energy gaps between two anyonic excitations of the spin system. A braiding operation was applied to the spins in the plaquettes and an induced phase $1.00(3)π$ in the four-spin state was observed, confirming $\frac{1}{2}$-anynoic statistics. This work represents an essential step towards studying topological matters with many-body systems and the applications in quantum computation and simulation.

Generation and Detection of Atomic Spin Entanglement in Optical Lattices

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices offer a great promise to generate entangled states for scalable quantum information processing owing to the inherited long coherence time and controllability over a large number of particles. We report on the generation, manipulation and detection of atomic spin entanglement in an optical superlattice. Employing a spin-dependent superlattice, atomic spins in the left or right sites can be individually addressed and coherently manipulated by microwave pulses with near unitary fidelities. Spin entanglement of the two atoms in the double wells of the superlattice is generated via dynamical evolution governed by spin superexchange. By observing collisional atom loss with in-situ absorption imaging we measure spin correlations of atoms inside the double wells and obtain the lower boundary of entanglement fidelity as $0.79\pm0.06$, and the violation of a Bell's inequality with $S=2.21\pm 0.08$. The above results represent an essential step towards scalable quantum computation with ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

Tunable subwavelength strong absorption by graphene wrapped dielectric particles

The optical absorption properties of graphene wrapped dielectric particles have been investigated by using Mie scattering theory and exact multi-scattering method. It is shown that subwavelength strong absorption in infrared spectra can take place in such systems due to the excitation of plasmon resonance in graphene. The absorption characteristics and efficiency are tunable by varying Fermi level and damping constant of graphene, or by changing size and dielectric constant of small particles. For a cluster of these particles, the absorption characteristics are also affected by the separation distance between them. These extreme light resonances and absorptions in graphene wrapped nanostructures have great potential for opto-electronic devices.
