Modern x-ray light sources promise access to structure and dynamics of matter in largely unexplored spectral regions. However, the desired information is encoded in the light intensity and phase, whereas detectors register only the intensity. This phase problem is ubiquitous in crystallography and imaging, and impedes the exploration of quantum effects at x-ray energies. Here, we demonstrate phase-sensitive measurements characterizing the quantum state of a nuclear two-level system at hard x-ray energies. The nuclei are initially prepared in a superposition state. Subsequently, the relative phase of this superposition is interferometrically reconstructed from the emitted x-rays. Our results form a first step towards x-ray quantum state tomography, and provide new avenues for structure determination and precision metrology via x-ray Fano interference.

The control of light-matter interaction at the quantum level usually requires coherent laser fields. But already an exchange of virtual photons with the electromagnetic vacuum field alone can lead to quantum coherences, which subsequently suppress sp
ontaneous emission. We demonstrate such spontaneously generated coherences (SGC) in a large ensemble of nuclei operating in the x-ray regime, resonantly coupled to a common cavity environment. The observed SGC originates from two fundamentally different mechanisms related to cooperative emission and magnetically controlled anisotropy of the cavity vacuum. This approach opens new perspectives for quantum control, quantum state engineering and simulation of quantum many-body physics in an essentially decoherence-free setting.
Fano resonances are proposed to perform a measurement of a spin state (whether it is up or down) of a single electron in a quantum dot via a spin-polarized current in an adjacent quantum wire. Rashba-like spin-orbit interaction in a quantum dot prohi
bits spin-flip events (Kondo-like phenomenon). That ensures the measurement to be non-demolishing.
Bayesian estimation approaches, which are capable of combining the information of experimental data from different likelihood functions to achieve high precisions, have been widely used in phase estimation via introducing a controllable auxiliary pha
se. Here, we present a non-adaptive Bayesian phase estimation (BPE) algorithms with an ingenious update rule of the auxiliary phase designed via active learning. Unlike adaptive BPE algorithms, the auxiliary phase in our algorithm is determined by a pre-established update rule with simple statistical analysis of a small batch of data, instead of complex calculations in every update trails. As the number of measurements for a same amount of Bayesian updates is significantly reduced via active learning, our algorithm can work as efficient as adaptive ones and shares the advantages (such as wide dynamic range and perfect noise robustness) of non-adaptive ones. Our algorithm is of promising applications in various practical quantum sensors such as atomic clocks and quantum magnetometers.
Using a transient regime approach, we explore atomic two-photon spectroscopy with self-aligned homodyne interferometry in the $Lambda$-system. The two light sources at the origin of the interference, are the single-photon transient transmission of th
e probe, and the slow light of the electromagnetically induced transparency, whereas the atomic medium is characterized by a large optical depth. After an abrupt switch off of the probe laser (flash effect), the transmission signal is reinforced by cooperativity, showing enhanced sensitivity to the two-photon frequency detuning. If the probe laser is periodically switched on and off, the amplitude of the transmission signal varies and remains large even at high modulation frequency. This technique has potential applications in sensing, such as magnetometry and velocimetry, and in coherent population trapping clock.
In a previous paper it has been shown that the interference of the first and second order pole of the Greens function at an exceptional point, as well as the interference of the first order poles in the vicinity of the exceptional point, gives rise t
o asymmetric scattering cross section profiles. In the present paper we demonstrate that these line profiles are indeed well described by the Beutler-Fano formula, and thus are genuine Fano resonances. Also further away from the exceptional points excellent agreement can be found by introducing energy dependent Fano parameters.
