摘要
A method for quantum interferometry and phase control of degenerate Rydberg states has been proposed and realized experimentally. Phase control was carried out by a pulse of a weak de electric field which caused a Stark splitting of degenerate Rydberg sublevels for a short time. A strong interference dependence of the probability of the microwave transition 37P(3/2)-->37S(1/2) in sodium Rydberg atoms on a phase difference between the Stark sublevels of the 37P(3/2) State has been detected. Changes in the probability were measured directly by a pulsed resonant microwave radiation applied after the electric-field pulse. Records of the quantum interference signals and Stark spectra of the microwave transition are presented and discussed. An influence of the laboratory magnetic field has been analyzed.
