HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

RAPID COMMUNICATION

All-optical control of a single electron spin in diamond

Y. Chu, M. Markham, D. J. Twitchen, and M. D. Lukin

Phys. Rev. A 91, 021801(R) (2015) - Published 11 February, 2015

All-optical control of a single electron spin associated with a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond is demonstrated, and a near-degenerate doublet of dark states, opening up possibilities for robust control, is observed.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Sampling of partially distinguishable bosons and the relation to the multidimensional permanent

Malte C. Tichy

Phys. Rev. A 91, 022316 (2015) - Published 17 February, 2015

The generalization of the so-called “boson-sampling problem” of interference of bosons propagating through a multimode network to the case of partially distinguishable bosons is presented, and a quantitative measure for the interference capability of a given system is introduced.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Nonlinear dynamics of ionization stabilization of atoms in intense laser fields

M. J. Norman, C. Chandre, T. Uzer, and P. Wang

Phys. Rev. A 91, 023406 (2015) - Published 9 February, 2015

Stabilization of an atom against ionization in an intense laser field is revisited from the point of view of chaotic classical mechanics, highlighting the role periodic orbits play in the process.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spectral energy transport in two-dimensional quantum vortex dynamics

T. P. Billam, M. T. Reeves, and A. S. Bradley

Phys. Rev. A 91, 023615 (2015) - Published 17 February, 2015

Spectral energy transport in quantum turbulence is studied in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate at finite temperature, showing that significant transport only occurs for large systems with weak dissipation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Metastable Bose-Einstein condensation in a strongly correlated optical lattice

David McKay, Ushnish Ray, Stefan Natu, Philip Russ, David Ceperley, and Brian DeMarco

Phys. Rev. A 91, 023625 (2015) - Published 24 February, 2015

The Bose-condensed fraction of a cold gas loaded into a three-dimensional optical lattice is studied both experimentally and theoretically, and the strong disagreement between experiment and theory at high temperatures indicates that the system may not reach equilibrium in this regime and that the condensate is metastable.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Nonequilibrium dynamics of coupled Luttinger liquids

L. Foini and T. Giamarchi

Phys. Rev. A 91, 023627 (2015) - Published 25 February, 2015

The dynamics of two initially tunnel-coupled chains of bosonic atoms after a quench in the tunneling strength is studied, and the correlation functions of relative phase (directly measured in interference experiments), relative density, and current are computed.
