چکیده
We show that the effective decay rate of Zeeman coherence, generated in a 87 Rb vapor by linearly polarized laser light, increases significantly with the atomic density. We explain this phenomenon as the result of radiation trapping. Our study shows that radiation trapping must be taken into account to fully understand many electromagnetically induced transparency experiments with optically thick media.

We investigate the development of electromagnetic cascades in ice using a GEANT Monte Carlo simulation. We examine the Cherenkov pulse that is generated by the charge excess that develops and propagates with the shower. This study is important for the RICE experiment at the South Pole, as well as any test beam experiment which seeks to measure coherent Cherenkov radiation from an electromagneti...

We present an example of a symmetric quantum game for which a dynamically stable Nash equilibrium becomes unstable when the initial state used to play the quantum game is changed to 'entangled' from 'unentan-gled'. The game is played between two players via the proposed scheme of applying 'identity' and 'Pauli spin-flip' operators on the initial state with classical probabilities.

We analyzed the efficiency of coherent population trapping (CPT) in a superposition of the ground states of three-level atoms under the influence of the decoherence process induced by a broadband thermal field. We showed that in a single atom there is no perfect CPT when the atomic transitions are affected by the thermal field. The perfect CPT may occur when only one of the two atomic transitio...

We suggest a technique for construction of profiles of incoherent pulsar emission using instantaneous angular distribution indicatrix of radiation from relativistic source moving in the neutron star magnetosphere. In the general case the indicatrix depends on the kinematic parameters of radiation source such as velocity and acceleration. The method is illustrated by calculation of the profiles ...
