Phase gate and readout with an atom/molecule hybrid platform (2009)

Kuznetsova, Elena, Gacesa, Marko, Yelin, Susanne F., Côté, Robin

We suggest a combined atomic/molecular system for quantum computation, which takes advantage of highly developed techniques to control atoms and recent experimental progress in manipulation of...

Efficient formation of ground state ultracold molecules via STIRAP from the continuum at a Feshbach resonance (2008)

Kuznetsova, Elena, Yelin, Susanne F., Gacesa, Marko, Pellegrini, Philippe, Côté, Robin

We develop a complete theoretical description of photoassociative Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) near a Feshbach resonance in a thermal atomic gas. We show that it is possible to use low...

Formation of deeply bound molecules via chainwise adiabatic passage (2008)

Kuznetsova, Elena, Pellegrini, Philippe, Côté, Robin, Lukin, M. D., Yelin, S. F.

We suggest and analyze a novel technique for efficient and robust creation of dense ultracold molecular ensembles in their ground rovibrational state. In our approach a molecule is brought to the...

Schemes for robust quantum computation with polar molecules: analysis of experimental feasibility (2007)

Kuznetsova, Elena, Côté, Robin, Kirby, Kate, Yelin, Susanne

We analyse recently proposed physical implementations of a quantum computer based on polar molecules. A set of general requirements for a molecular system is presented, which would provide an optimal...

Generation of coherent terahertz pulses in Ruby at room temperature (2006)

Kuznetsova, Elena, Rostovtsev, Yuri, Kalugin, Nikolai G., Kolesov, Roman, Kocharovskaya, Olga, Scully, Marlan O.

We have shown that a coherently driven solid state medium can potentially produce strong controllable short pulses of THz radiation. The high efficiency of the technique is based on excitation of...
