One interesting manifestation of quantum interference is coherent population trapping (CPT), first proposed in three-level driven atomic systems and observed in quantum optical experiments. Here, we demonstrate CPT in a gate-defined semiconductor double quantum dot (DQD), with some unique twists as compared to the atomic systems. Specifically, we observe CPT in both driven and non-driven situations. We further show that CPT in a driven DQD could be used to generate adiabatic state transfer. Moreover, our experiment reveals a non-trivial modulation to the CPT caused by the longitudinal driving field, yielding an odd-even effect and a tunable CPT.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-09-29T03:18:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coherent population trapping", "quantum interference", "generate adiabatic state transfer", "three-level driven atomic systems", "gate-defined semiconductor double quantum dot" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
