Abstract
- We study the coherent manipulation of quantum spin dynamics via simple analytic solutions for a spin–orbit (SO) coupled ultracold atom held in a driven double well. In the high-frequency regime, we analytically obtain the quasienergies, the Floquet states, and the non-Floquet state of this system. When the system parameters are properly selected, the non-Floquet state reduces to special quantum states of simple forms which can provide a more intuitive understanding of some interesting quantum spin dynamical phenomena, such as the intrawell spin–flipping, the interwell spin-conserving tunneling, and the interwell spin–flipping tunneling. Specially, for the interwell spin–flipping tunneling, we surprisingly find that the selective coherent destruction of tunneling (SCDT) can occur at the anti-crossing (non-collapse) points of quasienergy spectrum, which breaks the conventional understanding that the SCDT is associated with the crossing of quasienergy levels. Further, we reveal the interwell spin–flipping tunneling strongly depends on the initial spin direction and the initial position of the SO-coupled atom. These novel results can be readily tested by the current experimental setups and may be useful for the design of spintronic devices. • Some interesting quantum spin dynamical phenomena are transparently revealed via special quantum states of simple forms. • The selective coherent destruction of tunneling can occur at the anti-crossing points of quasienergy levels. • The interwell spin–flipping tunneling strongly depends on the initial spin direction and position of the spin–orbit coupled particle.
