Coherent atom lithography with nanometer resolution

Abstract: The resolution of optical lithography and the spacing of atom lithography are limited by about half of the wavelength due to the Rayleigh limit. Here we propose a coherent atom lithography experiment which can print nanometer structures. In this proposal, we show that subwavelength spatial distribution of the atoms in the excited state can be achieved by inducing spatially modulated Rabi oscillations in two-level atoms. We use the internal energy of the atoms to excite the photoresist and it can then print the… Show more

“…Cavity optomechanics is a rapidly developing research area for exploring the radiation-pressure-mediated interaction between photons and mechanical systems [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. In the view of these important results, it is natural to investigate the magnon-phonon interaction in YIG spheres and their quantum characteristics.…”

“…In addition, the electromagnetic field (optical part) of the cavity optomechanical system is also affected by the motion of the mechanical resonator. Some researches have attracted significant attention, such as the optomechanically induced transparency [29][30][31], normal-mode splitting [32], photon blockade [33][34][35][36][37][38][39], etc. Of these studies, the photon blockade is a particularly important nonclassical light statistic effect and can be used to generate the single photon source for those fundamental studies in quantum information processing and quantum optics fields.…”

“…The first physical mechanism for achieving blockade has been studied theoretically [40][41][42][43][44] and realized experimentally in various systems [45][46][47]. Besides, due to the nonlinear optomechanical interaction, the optomechanical systems can also be used to achieve the photon blockade effect [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. However, it is worth noting that the study of photon blockade in an optomechanical system requires the strong optomechanical coupling condition, which still poses major technological challenges.…”

“…The optomechanical interactions between the photons and the mechanical oscillation are at the heart of the field of cavity optomechanics [1][2][3][4]. Typically, there are two kinds of optomechanical interactions: the linear (i.e., the radiation-pressure-type) optomechanical coupling [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and the quadratic optomechanical coupling [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In the two cases, the optomechanical couplings depend linearly and quadratically on the mechanical displacement, respectively.…”
