Anharmonic effects on a phonon number measurement of a quantum mesoscopic mechanical oscillator

D. H. Santamore, Hsi-Sheng Goan, G. J. Milburn +1

We generalize a proposal for detecting single phonon transitions in a single nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) to include the intrinsic anharmonicity of each mechanical oscillato…

Fault-tolerant Quantum Communication with Minimal Physical Requirements

L. Childress, J. M. Taylor, A. S. Sorensen +1

We describe a novel protocol for a quantum repeater which enables long distance quantum communication through realistic, lossy photonic channels. Contrary to previous proposals, ou…

Shaping quantum pulses of light via coherent atomic memory

M. D. Eisaman, L. Childress, A. Andre +3

We describe a technique for generating pulses of light with controllable photon numbers, propagation direction, timing, and pulse shapes. The technique is based on preparation of a…

Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a cavity wall under the influence of real conditions

J. F. Babb, G. L. Klimchitskaya, V. M. Mostepanenko

The Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a metal wall is investigated under the influence of real conditions including the dynamic polarizability of the atom, finite cond…

Dynamic optical bistability in resonantly enhanced Raman generation

I. Novikova, A. S. Zibrov, D. F. Phillips +2

We report observations of novel dynamic behavior in resonantly-enhanced stimulated Raman scattering in Rb vapor. In particular, we demonstrate a dynamic hysteresis of the Raman sca…

Large negative and positive delay of optical pulses in coherently prepared dense Rb vapor with buffer gas

Eugeniy E. Mikhailov, Vladimir A. Sautenkov, Irina Novikova +1

We experimentally study the group time delay for a light pulse propagating through hot Rb vapor in the presence of a strong coupling field in a configuration. We demonstrate th…
