Polarization phase gate with a tripod atomic system
S. Rebic, D. Vitali, C. Ottaviani +4
We analyze the nonlinear optical response of a four-level atomic system driven into a tripod configuration. The large cross-Kerr nonlinearities that occurr in such a system are sho…
A new chiral electro-optic effect: Sum-frequency generation from optically active liquids in the presence of a dc electric field
P. Fischer, K. Beckwitt, A. D. Buckingham +2
We report the observation of sum-frequency signals that depend linearly on an applied electrostatic field and that change sign with the handedness of an optically active solution.…
Mean-field analysis of the stability of a K-Rb Fermi-Bose mixture
M. Modugno, F. Ferlaino, F. Riboli +3
We compare the experimental stability diagram of a Fermi-Bose mixture of K-40 and Rb-87 atoms with attractive interaction to the predictions of a mean-field theoretical model. We d…
Transverse Fresnel-Fizeau drag effects in strongly dispersive media
Iacopo Carusotto, Maurizio Artoni, Giuseppe La Rocca +1
A light beam normally incident upon an uniformly moving dielectric medium is in general subject to bendings due to a transverse Fresnel-Fizeau light drag effect. In conventional di…
Superradiant light scattering from a moving Bose-Einstein condensate
R. Bonifacio, F. S. Cataliotti, M. Cola +4
We investigate the interaction of a moving BEC with a far detuned laser beam. Superradiant Rayleigh scattering arises from the spontaneous formation of a matter-wave grating due to…
General features of the energy landscape in Lennard-Jones like model liquids
L. Angelani, G. Ruocco, M. Sampoli +1
Features of the energy landscape sampled by supercooled liquids are numerically analyzed for several Lennard-Jones like model systems. The properties of quasisaddles (minima of the…
Optically-induced lensing effect on a Bose-Einstein condensate expanding in a moving lattice
L. Fallani, F. S. Cataliotti, J. Catani +4
We report the experimental observation of a lensing effect on a Bose-Einstein condensate expanding in a moving 1D optical lattice. The effect of the periodic potential can be descr…
Polarization qubit phase gate in driven atomic media
Carlo Ottaviani, David Vitali, Maurizio Artoni +2
We present here an all--optical scheme for the experimental realization of a quantum phase gate. It is based on the polarization degree of freedom of two travelling single photon w…
