Realization of Geometric Landau-Zener-St\"{u}ckelberg Interferometry

Quantum Physics 2015-06-15 v1

Abstract

We report the first experimental realization of the geometric Landau-Zener-St\"{u}ckelberg (LZS) interferometry proposed by [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 207002 (2011)] in a single trapped ion system. Different from a conventional LZS interferometer, the interference fringes of our geometric interferometer originate solely from geometric phase. We also observe the robustness of the interference contrast against noise or fluctuation in the experimental parameters. Our scheme can be applied to other complex systems subject to relatively large errors in system control.
