Quantum mechanical modeling of the multi-stage Stern$\unicode{x2013}$Gerlach experiment conducted by Frisch and Segrè

The multi-stage Stern$\unicode{x2013}$Gerlach experiment conducted by Frisch and Segrè includes two cascaded quantum measurements with a nonadiabatic flipper in between. The Frisch and Segrè experiment has been modeled analytically by Majorana without the nuclear effect and subsequently revised by Rabi with the hyperfine interaction. However, the theoretical predictions do not match the experimental observation accurately. Here, we numerically solve the standard quantum mechanical model, via the von Neumann equation, including the hyperfine interaction for the time evolution of the spin. Thus far, the coefficients of determination from the standard quantum mechanical model without using free parameters are still low, indicating a mismatch between the theory and the experiment. Non-standard variants that improve the match are explored for discussion.

Numerical modeling of the multi-stage Stern$\unicode{x2013}$Gerlach experiment by Frisch and Segrè using co-quantum dynamics via the Bloch equation

We numerically study the spin flip in the Frisch$\unicode{x2013}$Segrè experiment, the first multi-stage Stern$\unicode{x2013}$Gerlach experiment, within the context of the novel co-quantum dynamics theory. We model the middle stage responsible for spin rotation by sampling the atoms with the Monte Carlo method and solving the dynamics of the electron and nuclear magnetic moments numerically according to the Bloch equation. Our results show that, without using any fitting parameters, the co-quantum dynamics closely reproduces the experimental observation reported by Frisch and Segrè in 1933, which has so far lacked theoretical predictions.

Single-Pixel Multimode Fiber Spectrometer via Wavefront Shaping

When light passes through a multimode fiber, two-dimensional random intensity patterns are formed due to the complex interference within the fiber. The extreme sensitivity of speckle patterns to the frequency of light paved the way for high-resolution multimode fiber spectrometers. However, this approach requires expensive IR cameras and impedes the integration of spectrometers on-chip. In this study, we propose a single-pixel multimode fiber spectrometer by exploiting wavefront shaping. The input light is structured with the help of a spatial light modulator, and optimal phase masks, focusing light at the distal end of the fiber, are stored for each wavelength. Variation of the intensity in the focused region is recorded by scanning all wavelengths under fixed optimal masks. Based on the intensity measurements, we show that an arbitrary input spectrum having two wavelengths 20 pm apart from each other can be reconstructed successfully (with a reconstruction error of ~3%) in the near-infrared regime, corresponding to a resolving power of $ R \approx 10^5 $. We also demonstrate the reconstruction of broadband continuous spectra for various bandwidths. With the installation of a single-pixel detector, our method provides low-budget and compact detection at an increased single-to-noise ratio.
