Pulse echo: Why it’s important Inhomogeneous decay due to dephasing
can be reversed!
(De)coherence time due to homogeneous decay can be measured directly.
Coherence time decides how long quantum information can be stored in a quantum system.

Optical LatticeOptical lattices are periodic potentials formed by the ac Stark shift (light shift) seen by atoms when they interact with a set of interfering laser beams.

What if we try “bang-bang”?(Repeat pulses before the bath gets amnesia; trade-off since each pulseis imperfect.)
“bang-bang” pulse sequences...Some coherence out to > 3 ms now...
• Optimisation of certain class of echo pulses• Preliminary work on 3D lattice• Preliminary work on characterization of
frequency response of the system due to Quasi-monochromatic excitation
• Observation of higher-order Echoes
Future work• Characterize homogeneous and
inhomogeneous broadening through 2D FT spectroscopy• Design adiabatic pulses for inversion of states• Study decoherence due to tunneling
