The Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom illuminated by a laser on resonance with the atomic transition may be suppressed by the atomic motion through averaging or filtering mechanisms. The optical analogs of these velocity effects are described. The two atomic levels correspond in the optical analogy to orthogonal polarizations of light and the Rabi oscillations to polarization oscillations in a medium which is optically active, naturally or due to a magnetic field. In the later case, the two orthogonal polarizations could be selected by choosing the orientation of the magnetic field, and one of them be filtered out. It is argued that the time-dependent optical polarization oscillations or their suppression are observable with current technology.

Coherent conversion between a Raman pump field and its Stokes field is observed in a Raman process with a strong atomic spin wave initially prepared by another Raman process operated in the stimulated emission regime. The oscillatory behavior resembl es the Rabi oscillation in atomic population in a two-level atomic system driven by a strong light field. The Rabi-like oscillation frequency is found to be related to the strength of the pre-built atomic spin wave. High conversion efficiency of 40% from the Raman pump field to the Stokes field is recorded and it is independent of the input Raman pump field. This process can act as a photon frequency multiplexer and may find wide applications in quantum information science.
The well-known laser-induced Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom are shown to be suppressed under certain conditions when the atom is entering a laser-illuminated region. For temporal Rabi oscillations the effect has two regimes: classical-like, at intermediate atomic velocities, and quantum at low velocities, associated respectively with the formation of incoherent or coherent internal states of the atom in the laser region. In the low velocity regime the laser projects the atom onto a pure internal state that can be controlled by detuning. Spatial Rabi oscillations are only suppressed in this low velocity, quantum regime.

VdW materials are a family of materials ranging from semimetal, semiconductor to insulator, and their common characteristic is the layered structure. These features make them widely applied in the fabrication of nano-photonic and electronic devices, particularly, vdW heterojunctions. HBN is the only layered material to date that is demonstrated to contain optically-detected electronic spins, which can benefit the construction of solid qubit and quantum sensor, etc., especially embedded in the nano-layered-devices. To realize this, Rabi oscillation is a crucial step. Here, we demonstrate the Rabi oscillation of V$_text{B}^-$ spins in hBN. Interestingly, we find the behaviors of the spins are completely different under the conditions of weak and relatively higher magnetic field. The former behaves like a single wide peak, but the latter behaves like multiple narrower peaks (e.g., a clear beat in Ramsey fringes). We conjecture a strong coupling of the spin with the surrounding nuclear spins, and the magnetic field can control the nuclear spin bath.
We report the localization of an ion by a one-dimensional optical lattice in the presence of an applied external force. The ion is confined radially by a radiofrequency trap and axially by a combined electrostatic and optical-lattice potential. The i on is cooled using a resolved Raman sideband technique to a mean vibrational number <n> = 0.6 pm 0.1 along the optical lattice. We implement a detection method to monitor the position of the ion subject to a periodic electrical driving force with a resolution down to lambda/40, and demonstrate suppression of the driven ion motion and localization to a single lattice site on time scales of up to 10 milliseconds. This opens new possibilities for studying many-body systems with long-range interactions in periodic potentials.
We have developed a general model for determining density-dependent effective dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients in order to explore finite-density effects on the ionization balance of plasmas. Our model consists of multiplying by a su ppression factor those highly-accurate total zero-density DR rate coefficients which have been produced from state-of-the-art theoretical calculations and which have been benchmarked by experiment. The suppression factor is based-upon earlier detailed collision-radiative calculations which were made for a wide range of ions at various densities and temperatures, but used a simplified treatment of DR. A general suppression formula is then developed as a function of isoelectronic sequence, charge, density, and temperature. These density-dependent effective DR rate coefficients are then used in the plasma simulation code Cloudy to compute ionization balance curves for both collisionally ionized and photoionized plasmas at very low (ne = 1 cm^-3) and finite (ne=10^10 cm^-3) densities. We find that the denser case is significantly more ionized due to suppression of DR, warranting further studies of density effects on DR by detailed collisional-radiative calculations which utilize state-of-the-art partial DR rate coefficients. This is expected to impact the predictions of the ionization balance in denser cosmic gases such as those found in nova and supernova shells, accretion disks, and the broad emission line regions in active galactic nuclei.
