Quantum optics of light and matter: honouring Alain Aspect
نویسندگان
چکیده
The topical issue “Quantum Optics of Light and Matter: Honouring Alain Aspect” encompasses a set historical personal perspectives on Alain’s career, series scientific articles contemporary research in quantum atom optics. These contributions celebrate the amazing career Aspect provide fascinating for information science technologies. It is wonderful conjunction events that this appears only few weeks after Alain, together with John Clauser Anton Zeilinger, was awarded 2022 Nobel Prize Physics.

Nonlinear quantum optics in the (ultra)strong light-matter coupling.
The propagation of N photons in one dimensional waveguides coupled to M qubits is discussed, both in the strong and ultrastrong qubit-waveguide coupling. Special emphasis is placed on the characterisation of the nonlinear response and its linear limit for the scattered photons as a function of N, M, qubit inter distance and light-matter coupling. The quantum evolution is numerically solved via ...
متن کاملQuantum theory of light and noise polarization in nonlinear optics.
We present a consistent quantum theory of the electromagnetic field in nonlinearly responding causal media, with special emphasis on Chi(2) media. Starting from QED in linearly responding causal media, we develop a method to construct the cubic Hamiltonian expressed in terms of the complex nonlinear susceptibility in a quantum mechanically consistent way. In particular, we show that the method ...
متن کاملThe dialogue between quantum light and matter
The Rabi model (RM) describes the simplest interaction between light and matter. In its semiclassical form, this model describes the coupling of a two-level system and a classical monochromatic field. The fully quantum model considers the same situation, with the light field quantized. Although this model has had an impressive impact on many fields of physics [1]—in its semiclassical form, it i...
متن کاملQuantum state transfer between matter and light.
We report on the coherent quantum state transfer from a two-level atomic system to a single photon. Entanglement between a single photon (signal) and a two-component ensemble of cold rubidium atoms is used to project the quantum memory element (the atomic ensemble) onto any desired state by measuring the signal in a suitable basis. The atomic qubit is read out by stimulating directional emissio...
متن کاملTesting of quantum phase in matter wave optics
Various phase concepts may be treated as special cases of the maximum likelihood estimation. For example the discrete Fourier estimation that actually coincides with the operational phase of Noh, Fougères and Mandel is obtained for continuous Gaussian signals with phase modulated mean. Since signals in quantum theory are discrete, a prediction different from that given by the Gaussian hypothesi...
