Numerical simulation on laser cooling of positronium |
要旨(英語) |
Laser cooling is a technique that slows atoms and molecules by radiation pressure, and allows precise measurements and control of quantum systems. One of the interesting systems to be cooled is positronium, which is a purely leptonic exotic atom. Cold positronium provides a strict testing ground for fundamental theories of physics, such as quantum electrodynamics.
In this study, we estimated the laser cooling effect on positronium by numerical simulation based on the Lindblad master equation and showed that chirp cooling, which is one of the methods of laser cooling, can reach a nearly recoil-limited temperature even though positronium has a short lifetime.
The simulation was able to reproduce an experimental result that demonstrated one-dimensional chirp cooling of positronium, which was cooled down to approximately 1 K. |
