The quantum Zeno paradox, 42 years on

January 25, 2019

Author(s)

Wayne M. Itano

The term 'quantum Zeno paradox' or 'quantum Zeno effect' refers to the slowing down of the evolution of a quantum system as it is observed more and more

Hyperfine-mediated electric quadrupole shifts in Al+ and In+ ion clocks

April 6, 2017

Author(s)

Kyle P. Beloy, David R. Leibrandt, Wayne M. Itano

We evaluate the electric quadrupole moments of the 1S0 and 3P0 clock states of 27Al+ and 115In+. To capture all dominant contributions, our analysis extends

Early observations of macroscopic quantum jumps in single atoms

March 25, 2015

Author(s)

Wayne M. Itano, James C. Bergquist, David J. Wineland

The observation of intermittent fluorescence of a single atomic ion, a phenomenon better known as 'macroscopic quantum jumps,' was an important early scientific

Diamagnetic correction to the ⁹Be⁺ ground-state hyperfine constant

July 21, 2011

Author(s)

Nobuyasu Shiga, Wayne M. Itano, John J. Bollinger

We report an experimental determination of the diamagnetic correction to the 9Be + ground state hyperfine constant A. We measured A = −625 008 837.371(11) Hz at

Preserving quantum coherence using optimized open-loop control techniques

May 16, 2010

Author(s)

Michael J. Biercuk, Hermann Uys, Aaron Vandevender, Nobuyasu Shiga, Wayne M. Itano, John J. Bollinger

We describe experimental and theoretical studies of open-loop quantum control techniques known as dynamical decoupling (DD) for the suppression of decoherence
