Temporal Coherence and Indistinguishability in Two-Photon Interference Effects

Anand Kumar Jha, Malcolm N. O'Sullivan, Kam Wai Clifford Chan +1

We show that temporal two-photon interference effects involving the signal and idler photons created by parametric down-conversion can be fully characterized in terms of the variat…

Conditional preparation of states containing a definite number of photons

Malcolm N. O'Sullivan, Kam Wai Clifford Chan, Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan +1

A technique for conditionally creating single- or multimode photon-number states is analyzed using Bayesian theory. We consider the heralded N-photon states created from the photon…

Comment on "Relativistic Aharonov-Bohm effect in the presence of planar Coulomb potentials"

C. R. Hagen

It is shown that the principal results of a recent work by Khalilov are incorrect. These errors are attributable to the author's insistence that wave functions must be regular at t…

Quantum Brownian Motion of a Macroscopic Object in a General Environment

Chung-Hsien Chou, B. L. Hu, Ting Yu

For the purpose of understanding the quantum behavior such as quantum decoherence, fluctuations, dissipation, entanglement and teleportation of a mesoscopic or macroscopic object i…

Uncollapsing the wavefunction

Andrew N. Jordan, Alexander N. Korotkov

The undoing of quantum measurements is discussed in the broader context of irreversibility in physics. We give explicit examples of how a wavefunction can be uncollapsed in two sol…

Qubit Entanglement Driven by Remote Optical Fields

Muhammed Yonac, Joseph H. Eberly

We examine the entanglement between two qubits, supposed to be remotely located and driven by independent quantized optical fields. No interaction is allowed between the qubits, bu…

Energy Measurements and Preparation of Canonical Phase States of a Nano-Mechanical Resonator

Kurt Jacobs, Andrew N. Jordan, Elinor K. Irish

We show that a continuous quantum non-demolition measurement of the energy of a nanomechanical resonator can be achieved by monitoring the resonator with a quantum point contact vi…

Quantum Chaos, Delocalization, and Entanglement in Disordered Heisenberg Models

Winton G. Brown, Lea F. Santos, David J. Starling +1

We investigate disordered one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg spin lattices across a transition from integrability to quantum chaos from both a statistical many-body and a quantum-…

Two-Pulse Propagation in Media with Quantum-Mixed Ground States

B. D. Clader, J. H. Eberly

We examine fully coherent two-pulse propagation in a lambda-type medium, under two-photon resonance conditions and including inhomogeneous broadening. We examine both the effects o…

Negative Entanglement Measure, and What It Implies

Ting Yu, J. H. Eberly

In this paper, we extract from concurrence its variable part, denoted , and use as a time-dependent measure of "distance", either postive or negative, from the separability…

Exact Master Equation and Quantum Decoherence of Two Coupled Harmonic Oscillators in a General Environment

Chung-Hsien Chou, Ting Yu, B. L. Hu

In this paper we derive an exact master equation for two coupled quantum harmonic oscillators interacting via bilinear coupling with a common environment at arbitrary temperature m…

Dissipative Mechanics Using Complex-Valued Hamiltonians

S. G. Rajeev

We show that a large class of dissipative systems can be brought to a canonical form by introducing complex co-ordinates in phase space and a complex-valued hamiltonian. A naive ca…

Pairwise Concurrence Dynamics: A Four-Qubit Model

M. Yonac, Ting Yu, J. H. Eberly

We examine entanglement dynamics via concurrence among four two-state systems labeled . The four systems are arranged on an addressable "lattice" in such a way that…
