Photon-photon gates in Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:1010.0037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.043601
Abstract
It has recently been shown that light can be stored in Bose-Einstein condensates for over a second. Here we propose a method for realizing a controlled phase gate between two stored photons. The photons are both stored in the ground state of the effective trapping potential inside the condensate. The collision-induced interaction is enhanced by adiabatically increasing the trapping frequency and by using a Feshbach resonance. A controlled phase shift of can be achieved in one second.
