- Atoms can be trapped and guided with electromagnetic fields, using nanofabricated structures. We describe the fundamental features of an interferometer for guided matter waves, built of two combined Y-shaped beam splitters. We find that such a device is expected to exhibit high contrast fringes even in a multimode regime, analogous to a white light interferometer.

Nonadiabatic effects in the photoelectron spectra of HCl and DCl. II. Theory

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra of HCl and DCl in the 25-28 eV region were computed using a time-dependent approach for the nuclear dynamics. The spectral features cannot be understood without including a nonadiabatic coupling between the dissociative 3 (2)Sigma(+) state and the bound 4 (2)Sigma(+) state in the adiabatic picture. Alternatively, in the diabatic picture a dissociative two-hole-one-particle state interacts with a bound one-hole state. The molecular system is of intermediate coupling strength, i.e., it cannot be described by a single potential-energy curve. The interaction between a bound and a dissociative state leads to Fano resonances superimposed on a broad back-round, as observed in the experimental spectra [Burmeister et al., Phys. Rev. A 65, 012704 (2001)]. From modified potential-energy curves, all features of the experimental spectra, including Fano resonance parameters and lifetimes, were reproduced. From the simulations we observe that two additional peaks in the experimental DCl spectra should appear if the resolution were to be enhanced to around 10 meV.

Properties of a discretized coherent state representation and the relation to Gabor analysis
- 2002

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Properties of a discretized coherent state representation (DCSR) and its connection to Gabor frame analysis are discussed. The DCSR approach was recently shown (Andersson L M 2001 J. Chem. Phys. 115 1158) to yield a practical computational scheme for quantum dynamics, and an iterative scheme for finding the identity operator was proposed. In the present work, we suggest a proof of fast convergence of the iterative scheme for computing the canonical dual to any given countable frame in a Hilbert space. The method of frames is concerned with the use of a non-orthogonal, over-complete set of functions for expansion of an arbitrary function. We also introduce the concept of 'representations of the identity operator' and show how to expand arbitrary vectors using the frame elements, without explicit diagonalization to an orthonormal basis. Numerical examples that illustrate the method are shown.

Quantum dynamics using a discretized coherent state representation : An adaptive phase space method
- 2001

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We introduce a discretized coherent state representation (DCSR) for quantum dynamics. Expansion of a wave function in the nonorthogonal slightly overcomplete set is made with an identity operator computed using an iterative refinement method. Calculating the inverse of the overlap matrix is not necessary. The result is an accurate and efficient representation, where you only put basis functions in the region of phase space where the wave function is nonvanishing. Compared to traditional spatial grid methods, fewer grid points are needed. The DCSR can be viewed as an application of the Weyl-Heisenberg frame and extends it into a useful computational method. A scheme for fully quantum mechanical propagation is constructed and applied to the realistic problem of highly excited vibration in the heavy diatomic molecule Rb-2. Compared to split-operator propagation in a conventional spatial grid, an order of magnitude longer time steps can be taken and fewer grid points are needed. The computational effort scales linearly with the number of basis functions. Nonreflecting boundary conditions are a natural property of the representation and is illustrated in a model of predissociation.

Orbital angular momentum modes do not increase the channel capacity in communication links
- 2015
-
In: New Journal of Physics. - : IOP Publishing. - 1367-2630. ; 17
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The orbital momentum of optical or radio waves can be used as a degree of freedom to transmit information. However, mainly for technical reasons, this degree of freedom has not been widely used in communication channels. The question is if this degree of freedom opens up a new, hitherto unused 'communication window' supporting 'an infinite number of channels in a given, fixed bandwidth' in free space communication as has been claimed? We answer this question in the negative by showing that on the fundamental level, the mode density, and thus room for mode multiplexing, is the same for this degree of freedom as for sets of modes lacking angular momentum. In addition we show that modes with angular momentum are unsuitable for broadcasting applications due to excessive crosstalk or a poor signal-to-noise ratio.

Quantum Dynamics of Molecular Systems and Guided Matter Waves
- 2001
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Quantum dynamics is the study of time-dependent phenomena in fundamental processes of atomic and molecular systems. This thesis focuses on systems where nature reveals its quantum aspect; e.g. in vibrational resonance structures, in wave packet revivals and in matter wave interferometry. Grid based numerical methods for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation are implemented for simulating time resolved molecular vibrations and to compute photo-electron spectra, without the necessity of diagonalizing a large matrix to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors.Pump-probe femtosecond laser spectroscopy on the sodium potassium molecule, showing a vibrational period of 450 fs, is theoretically simulated. We find agreement with experiment by inclusion of the finite length laser pulse and finite temperature effects.Complicated resonance structures observed experimentally in photo-electron spectra of hydrogen- and deuterium chloride is analyzed by a numerical computation of the spectra. The dramatic difference in the two spectra arises from non-adiabatic interactions, i.e. the interplay between nuclear and electron dynamics. We suggest new potential curves for the 32Σ+ and 42Σ+ states in HCI+.It is possible to guide slow atoms along magnetic potentials like light is guided in optical fibers. Quantum mechanics dictates that matter can show wave properties. A proposal for a multi mode matter wave interferometer on an atom chip is studied by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in two dimensions. The results verifies a possible route for an experimental realization.An improved representation for wave functions using a discrete set of coherent states is presented. We develop a practical method for computing the expansion coefficients in this non-orthogonal set. It is built on the concept of frames, and introduces an iterative method for computing a representation of the identity operator. The phase-space localization property of the coherent states gives adaptability and better sampling efficiency.

Isotope exchange and structural rearrangements in reactions between size-selected ionic water clusters, H3O+(H2O)n and NH4+(H2O)n, and D2O
- 2008
-
In: Phys.Chem.Chem.Phys. - : Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). ; 10, s. 6127-6134
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hydrogen/deuterium exchange in reactions of H3O+(H2O)n and NH4+(H2O)n (1 n 30) with D2O has been studied experimentally at center-of-mass collisions energies of 0.2 eV. For a given cluster size, the cross-sections for H3O+(H2O)n and NH4+(H2O)n are similar, indicating a structural resemblance and energetics of binding. For protonated pure water clusters, H3O+(H2O)n, reacting with D2O the main H/D exchange mechanism is found to be proton catalyzed. In addition the H/D scrambling becomes close to statistically randomized for the larger clusters. For NH4+(H2O)n clusters reacting with D2O, the main mechanism is a D2O/H2O swap reaction. The lifetimes of H3O+(H2O)n clusters have been estimated using RRKM theory and a plateau in lifetime vs. cluster size is found already at n = 10.

A study of the inner-valence ionization region in HCl and DCl
- 2004

In: Journal of Physics B. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-4075 .- 1361-6455. ; 37:6, s. 1173-1183

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An in-depth photoionization study of the inner-valence electrons in HCl and DCl has been performed using synchrotron radiation. A series of photoelectron spectra of HCl were obtained at a resolution of 23 meV over the binding energy range 25-30.5 eV at various excitation energies and at two different electron collection angles relative to the plane of polarization of the undulator radiation. In addition, photoelectron spectra of DCl were recorded at two different excitation energies. These spectra were compared directly with the threshold photoelectron spectra of HCl and DCl that were recorded previously under similar resolution conditions (similar to30 meV). This comparative study reveals new information on the nature of the numerous band systems observed in this binding energy region. In addition, we present the experimental confirmation of the theoretical prediction given by Andersson et al (2001 Phys. Rev. A 65 012705) that a vibrational progression showing interference structure would appear in the main inner-valence ionization band in the photoelectron spectrum of DCl at a resolution of 10 meV.
