Abstract
We report on the first observation of Nonlinear Faraday Rotation (NFR) with cold atoms prepared in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) at ~100μK temperature. The nonlinearity of rotation results from long-lived coherence of ground-state Zeeman sublevels [1], which makes NFR a candidate for the study and sensitive detection of qubits.
