Kinetic theory for transverse optomechanical instabilities.
We investigate transverse symmetry-breaking instabilities emerging from the optomechanical coupling between light and the translational degrees of freedom of a collisionless, damping-free gas of cold, two-level atoms. We develop a kinetic theory that can also be mapped on to the case of an electron plasma under ponderomotive forces. A general criterion for the existence and spatial scale of tra...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics and quantum entanglement in optomechanical systems.
To search for and exploit quantum manifestations of classical nonlinear dynamics is one of the most fundamental problems in physics. Using optomechanical systems as a paradigm, we address this problem from the perspective of quantum entanglement. We uncover strong fingerprints in the quantum entanglement of two common types of classical nonlinear dynamical behaviors: periodic oscillations and q...
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 کاملThe 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 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...
