The problem of Freeman resonances [R. R. Freeman textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{59}, 1092 (1987)] when strong field ionization is enhanced due to the transient population of excited states during the ionization, is revisited. An intuitive model is put forward which explains the mechanism of the intermediate population of excited states during nonadiabatic tunneling ionization via the under-the-barrier recollision and recombination. The theoretical model is based on perturbative strong-field approximation (SFA), where the sub-barrier bound-continuum-bound pathway is described in the second-order SFA, while the further ionization from the excited state by an additional perturbative step. The enhancement of ionization is shown to arise due to the constructive interference of contributions into the excitation amplitudes originating from different laser cycles. The applied model provides an intuitive understanding of the electron dynamics during a Freeman resonance in strong-field ionization, as well as means of enhancing the process and possible applications to related processes.

The nondipole under-the-barrier dynamics of the electron during strong-field tunneling ionization is investigated, examining the role of the Coulomb field of the atomic core. The common analysis in the strong field approximation is consequently gener
alised to include the leading light-front non-dipole Coulomb corrections and demonstrates the counter-intuitive impact of the sub-barrier Coulomb field. Despite its attractive nature, the sub-barrier Coulomb field increases the photoelectron nondipole momentum shift along the laser propagation direction, involving a strong dependence on the laser field. The scaling of the effect with respect to the principal quantum number and angular momentum of the bound state is found. With an improved light-front classical Monte Carlo model, we disentangle sub-barrier and continuum Coulomb effects in the nondipole regime. We demonstrate that the signature of Coulomb induced sub-barrier effects can be identified in the asymptotic photoelectron momentum distribution with state-of-the-art experimental techniques of mid-infrared lasers.
Decay of bound states due to coupling with free particle states is a general phenomenon occurring at energy scales from MeV in nuclear physics to peV in ultracold atomic gases. Such a coupling gives rise to Fano-Feshbach resonances (FFR) that have be
come key to understanding and controlling interactions - in ultracold atomic gases, but also between quasiparticles such as microcavity polaritons. The energy positions of FFR were shown to follow quantum chaotic statistics. In contrast, lifetimes which are the fundamental property of a decaying state, have so far escaped a similarly comprehensive understanding. Here we show that a bound state, despite being resonantly coupled to a scattering state, becomes protected from decay whenever the relative phase is a multiple of $pi$. We observe this phenomenon by measuring lifetimes spanning four orders of magnitude for FFR of spin-orbit excited molecular ions with merged beam and electrostatic trap experiments. Our results provide a blueprint for identifying naturally long-lived states in a decaying quantum system.
We study the effect of resonances associated with complex molecular interaction of Rydberg atoms on Rydberg blockade. We show that densely-spaced molecular potentials between doubly-excited atomic pairs become unavoidably resonant with the optical ex
citation at short interatomic separations. Such molecular resonances limit the coherent control of individual excitations in Rydberg blockade. As an illustration, we compute the molecular interaction potentials of Rb atoms near the $100s$ states asymptote to characterize such detrimental molecular resonances, determine the resonant loss rate to molecules and inhomogeneous light shifts. Techniques to avoid the undesired effect of molecular resonances are discussed.
Weak measurement (WM) with state pre- and post-selection can amplify otherwise undetectable small signals and thus promise great potentials in precision measurements. Although frequency measurements offer the hitherto highest precision owing to stabl
e narrow atomic transitions, it remains a long-standing interest to develop new schemes to further escalate their performance. Here, we propose and demonstrate a WM-enhanced spectroscopy technique which is capable of narrowing the resonance to 0.1 Hz in a room-temperature atomic vapor cell. Potential of this technique for precision measurement is demonstrated through weak magnetic field sensing. By judiciously pre- and post-selecting frequency-modulated input and output optical states in a nearly-orthogonal manner, a sensitivity of $text{7 fT/}sqrt{text{Hz}}$ near DC is achieved, using only one laser beam of $text{7 }text{mu W}$ power. Additionally, our results extend the WM framework to a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, and shed new light in metrology and bio-magnetic field sensing applications.
We propose an efficient scheme for the generation and the manipulation of Raman fields in an homogeneously broadened atomic vapor in a closed three levels $Lambda$-configuration. The key concept in generating the Raman and sub-Raman fields efficientl
y at lower optical densities involve the microwave induced atomic coherence of the lower levels. We show explicitly that, generation efficiency of the Raman fields can be controlled by manipulating the coherences via phase and amplitude of the microwave field.
