Turning light into a liquid via atomic coherence.

چکیده
We study a four-level atomic system with electromagnetically induced transparency with giant chi(3) and chi(5) susceptibilities of opposite signs. This system will allow us to obtain multidimensional solitons and light condensates with surface tension properties analogous to those of usual liquids.

Storing squeezing and entanglement in EIT systems
The coherent and reversible storage of the quantum state of a light field is an important issue for the realization of many protocols in quantum information processing. In the past four years much work has been done on this topic utilizing the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). In the conventional EIT setup one makes use of an ensemble of Λ-level atoms, where the two ...
متن کاملEntanglement of an Atom and Its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Spontaneously Generated Coherence
The entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. The effect of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. We find that in the presence of SGC the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...

Physical processes that could facilitate coherent control of light propagation are now actively explored [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. In addition to fundamental interest, these efforts are stimulated by possibilities to develop, for example, a quantum memory for photonic states [6, 7, 8]. At the same time, controlled localization and storage of photonic pulses may allow novel approaches to manipulate light...
متن کاملImage routing via atomic spin coherence
Coherent storage of optical image in a coherently-driven medium is a promising method with possible applications in many fields. In this work, we experimentally report a controllable spatial-frequency routing of image via atomic spin coherence in a solid-state medium driven by electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Under the EIT-based light-storage regime, a transverse spatial image ca...
متن کاملSlow light beam splitter.
We demonstrate a slow light beam splitter using rapid coherence transport in a wall-coated atomic vapor cell. We show that particles undergoing random and undirected classical motion can mediate coherent interactions between two or more optical modes. Coherence, written into atoms via electromagnetically induced transparency using an input optical signal at one transverse position, spreads out ...
