Abstract

We propose a new kind of spin manipulation method using a fictitious magnetic field generated by a quasielectrostatic field. The method can be applicable to every atom with electron spins and has distinct advantages of small photon scattering rate and local addressability. By using a CO2 laser as a quasielectrostatic field, we have experimentally demonstrated the proposed method by observing the Rabi oscillation of the ground state hyperfine spin F=1 of the cold 87Rb atoms and the Bose–Einstein condensate.
