Here, we propose and demonstrate an approach towards inducing synchronizations between non-overlapping laser beams by intrinsic spin noise. Two linearly polarized and non-overlapping laser beams propagate through a vapor of flying unpolarized alkali atoms and capture their correlated noise properties by the atom-light interaction, resulting in synchronization between the two laser beams. Using correlation spectra, we demonstrate the nearly in phase synchronization at the atomic Larmor frequency between the two laser beams, which can easily be varied across a wide frequency range by the magnetic-field strength. Moreover, we show that the degree of synchronization increases with the atomic density, and the synchronization remains effective when the Larmor frequencies in the regions of the two laser beams are different. Our method may be useful for applications like secure key distribution and secure communication.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we improve the current method of building the Wannier functions of ultracold atomic systems, including the case in the presence or absence of interactions. In noninteracting systems, we propose a method to directly obtain the real-valued maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) by using real-valued eigenstates, and verify the effectiveness of this method in a two-dimensional (2D) degenerate system. In interacting systems, we obtain the effect of high-energy bands on the lowest-energy band by using the accurate calculation results of the two-particle system. In the two-particle system, we consider the effect of the entanglement between the particles and obtain the optimal two-particle Wannier functions. These Wannier functions are then further utilized to obtain the parameters of the extended Bose-Hubbard model. The effectiveness of the method is verified by taking a one-dimensional (1D) system with contact interaction as an example. In the three-particle and four-particle systems, compared calculation results with the original system and the unmodified two-band Bose-Hubbard model, we find that the effective Hamiltonian is more accurate than the unmodified two-band model. This verifies the effectiveness of our method, and the parameters obtained can reflect the original system well, which provides an effective method for accurate modeling of interacting systems.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we propose a gain-assisted model to control the SHE in the reflected probe light. In this model, a probe light is incident on a cavity containing a three-level dilute gaseous atomic medium, where the interaction between the atom and the control field follows two-photon Raman transitions. We show that the direction of photonic spin accumulations can be switched between positive and negative values across the Brewster angle in both the anomalous and normal dispersion regimes. For the same magnitude of control fields, the peak value of the photonic SHE is higher in the anomalous dispersion region compared to the normal dispersion regime. Additionally, the angular range around the Brewster angle is wider in the normal dispersion regime than in the anomalous dispersion region. Furthermore, the peak value of the photonic SHE and the angular range can be controlled by changing the Rabi frequencies of the control fields and the probe field detuning. The measurement of photonic SHE based on gain assistance may enable spin-related applications such as optical sensing.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"569 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
