Macroscopic Quantum Processors Based on Stored High-Energy Polarized Beams

  • 1. Portland Physics Institute, U. Michigan Spin Physics Center (United States)

Description

The coherent spin rotation of stored particle beams produces macroscopic states with familiar quantum properties. Because massive quantum systems with spin greater than or equal to one display instructive interference effects not accessible with spin one-half particles, we discuss the sequential rotation and decoherence of a stored polarized deuteron beam. Experimental measurements on such systems should produce unique quantum effects
