The beginning of quantum nonlinear optics [Invited]
When asked to talk at the symposium celebrating the fiftieth birthday of nonlinear optics in Kauai last July, I needed to decide on an interesting approach beyond that of rehashing the, by now familiar, scientific facts. The work that I will describe has to do with the quantum mechanical formalism for nonlinear optics. Although the implications of this theory are fundamental and continue to unf...
متن کاملNonlinear quantum optics mediated by Rydberg interactions
By mapping the strong interaction between Rydberg excitations in ultra-cold atomic ensembles onto single photons via electromagnetically induced transparency, it is now possible to realize a medium which exhibits a strong optical nonlinearity at the level of individual photons. We review the theoretical concepts and the experimental state-of-the-art of this exciting new field, and discuss first...
متن کاملNonlinear optics quantum computing with circuit QED.
One approach to quantum information processing is to use photons as quantum bits and rely on linear optical elements for most operations. However, some optical nonlinearity is necessary to enable universal quantum computing. Here, we suggest a circuit-QED approach to nonlinear optics quantum computing in the microwave regime, including a deterministic two-photon phase gate. Our specific example...
متن کاملNonlinear optics in Bragg-spaced quantum wells
Bragg spaced quantum wells represent a unique class of resonant photonic materials, wherein a photonic bandgap is created by the periodic spacing of quantum wells and the associated variation in the complex susceptibility (index and absorption) of the material. Interest in BSQWs has grown in the past decade due to their large ultrafast nonlinearities and the corresponding large ultrafast reflec...
متن کاملQuantum nonlinear optics — photon by photon
685 Photons traveling through a vacuum do not interact with each other. This linearity in light propagation, in combination with the high frequency and hence large bandwidth provided by waves at optical frequencies, has made optical signals the preferred method for communicating information over long distances. In contrast, the processing of information requires some form of interaction between...
