Creating and Measuring a coherent superposition in metastable Neon — •Ulrich Schneider, Frank Vewinger, Manfred Heinz, Ruth Garcia Fernandez, and Klaas Bergmann — Fachbereich Physik TU Kaiserslautern

We demonstrate a technique, suitable for neutral atoms in an atomic beam, that allows the preparation of a superposition state in an efficient and robust way with a predetermined relative phase. For the preparation we use the tripod-STIRAP scheme [1] applied to the creation of a coherent superposition of two mj-states of the metastable state 3P2 of Neon atoms [2]. We also measure the relative phase of the two mj-components of the superposition state about 16mm downstream of the preparation region. The measurement is based on the mapping of the relative phase into the population of the excited state as a function of the polarization angle of a probe laser. We report data concerning the superposition of the pairs of levels mj=+1 and mj=−1 as well as mj=−2 and mj=0.
