The quantum-optical Josephson interferometer
The photon-blockade effect, where nonlinearities at the single-photon level alter the quantum statistics of light emitted from a cavity1, has been observed in cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments with atomic2,3 and solid-state systems4–8. Motivated by the success of single-cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments, the focus has recently shifted to the exploration of the rich physics pro...
متن کاملUniversality of beamsplitters
We consider the problem of building an arbitrary N × N real orthogonal operator using a finite set, S, of elementary quantum optics gates operating on m ≤ N modes the problem of universality of S on N modes. In particular, we focus on the universality problem of an m-mode beamsplitter. Using methods of control theory and some properties of rotations in three dimensions, we prove that any nontri...
متن کاملQuantum metrology with a scanning probe atom interferometer.
We use a small Bose-Einstein condensate on an atom chip as an interferometric scanning probe to map out a microwave field near the chip surface with a few micrometers resolution. With the use of entanglement between the atoms, our interferometer overcomes the standard quantum limit of interferometry by 4 dB and maintains enhanced performance for interrogation times up to 10 ms. This corresponds...
متن کاملMultiple-path interferometer with a single quantum obstacle
– We consider the scattering of particles (kinetic energy ε) by an obstacle which tunnels coherently between two positions (tunnel splitting ∆), for arbitrary values of ε/∆ and scattering strength U . The obstacle mimics two classical scatterers at fixed positions when ε ∆. Interference disappears when ε ∆, but can be recovered if the elastic-scattering channel is detected only. At intermediate...
متن کاملElectron transport in a quantum interferometer
Electron transport properties of a quantum interferometer are studied based on the Green’s function formalism. The interferometer is symmetrically attached to two one-dimensional metallic electrodes, viz, source and drain, and here we adopt a simple tight-binding model to describe the bridge system. In this article we address numerically the conductance-energy and current-voltage characteristic...
