Generation of X-ray photon echo mediated by collective nuclear excitation
Abstract:
Photon echo is a fundamental phenomenon that enables the coherent re-emission of a photon after a controlled delay, playing a crucial role in quantum information processing. Here, we propose a scheme for generating X-ray photon echoes via the dynamical control of collective nuclear excitation using an applied magnetic field. This mechanism facilitates the controllable exchange of nuclear coherence and the photonic field, enabling the on-demand generation of individual X-ray photons. Our scheme broadens the possibilities for realizing quantum qubits in the X-ray regime and advancing X-ray quantum optics.
