Atomic coherence

478: 256: 25: 152:, the atom's energy levels acquire perturbations to the excited states that describe the atom's internal state. When the acquired phase is the same over the range of internal states, the atom is coherent. Atomic coherence is characterized by the length of time over which the internal state of the atom can be reliably manipulated. 247:
For a perfectly isolated system, a particle undergoing Rabi oscillation between two levels will remain in phase. In practice, interactions between the system and the environment introduce a phase offset in the Rabi oscillation between the two levels, causing
