英文摘要： The manipulation of quantum states of cold atom is the frontier of quantum optics and quantum information research. The capture of cold atoms and the manipulation of quantum state of cold atom have a great significance in the quantum information research and precision measurement of physical quantities. With the rapid progress of ultrafast laser technology, the single-cycle and sub-cycle pulses have been produced in the laboratory. This kind of pulse has special physical properties. The aim of this project is to study the basic characteristics of the single-cycle and sub-cycle pulses, the interactions of the single-cycle and sub-cycle pulses with cold atoms. Based on the semi-classical and quantum theory of the interaction between light and matter, the population transfer, the capture and repulsion force and the transmission of pulse during the interaction of the single-cycle pulse with cold atom will be investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The main research contents include: the population transfer in the process of interaction between single-cycle microwave or laser pulse with atoms, the fast preparation of quantum state of cold atom by using single-cycle pulse, the light force on atoms produced by the single-cycle laser pulse, the capture and disperse effect of atoms by the single-cycle laser pulse, the manipulation of single atom by the light force of single-cycle pulse, the spatial temporal evolution characteristics of the single-cycle pulse in the cold atom medium, etc.
