Storage of light in atomic vapor

D. F. Phillips, A. Fleischhauer, A. Mair +2

We report an experiment in which a light pulse is decelerated and trapped in a vapor of Rb atoms, stored for a controlled period of time, and then released on demand. We accomplish…

Resonantly enhanced nonlinear optics in semiconductor quantum wells: An application to sensitive infrared detection

S. F. Yelin, P. R. Hemmer

A novel class of coherent nonlinear optical phenomena, involving induced transparency in quantum wells, is considered in the context of a particular application to sensitive long-w…

Dipole Blockade and Quantum Information Processing in Mesoscopic Atomic Ensembles

M. D. Lukin, M. Fleischhauer, R. Cote +4

We describe a technique for manipulating quantum information stored in collective states of mesoscopic ensembles. Quantum processing is accomplished by optical excitation into stat…

Quantum Noise and Superluminal Propagation

Bilha Segev, Peter W. Milonni, James F. Babb +1

Causal "superluminal" effects have recently been observed and discussed in various contexts. The question arises whether such effects could be observed with extremely weak pulses,…

Fast quantum gates for neutral atoms

D. Jaksch, J. I. Cirac, P. Zoller +3

We propose several schemes for implementing a fast two-qubit quantum gate for neutral atoms with the gate operation time much faster than the time scales associated with the extern…

Dark-State Polaritons in Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

M. Fleischhauer, M. D. Lukin

We identify form-stable coupled excitations of light and matter (``dark-state polaritons'') associated with the propagation of quantum fields in Electromagnetically Induced Transpa…
