Fictitious Magnetic Resonance by Quasi-Electrostatic Field
Abstract
We propose a new kind of spin manipulation method using a fictitious magnetic field generated by a quasi-electrostatic field. The method can be applicable to every atom with electron spins and has distinct advantages of small photon scattering rate and local addressability. By using a CO2 laser as a quasi-electrostatic field, we have experimentally demonstrated the proposed method by observing the Rabi-oscillation of the ground state hyperfine spin F=1 of the cold 87Rb atoms and the Bose-Einstein condensate.
