An ideal instantaneous NOT about reverses each atom's accumulated phase relative to its subsequent free precession. Algebraically, , so for a static Rabi detuning and ,The entire Ramsey interferometry sequence is consequently , up to the additional common global phase if NOT is implemented as . ThusThis spin echo restores the initial population even for the distribution of static Rabi detunings in part (d). It removes reversible inhomogeneous dephasing; fluctuating Rabi detuning, finite pulse errors and irreversible loss of quantum coherence need not refocus. With an opposite final pulse, the return population would instead be zero; this distinguishes that alternative from the sequence actually specified.
