How to administer an antidote to Schrödinger's cat
Juan-Rafael Álvarez, Mark IJspeert, Oliver Barter +6
In his 1935 Gedankenexperiment, Erwin Schrödinger imagined a poisonous substance which has a 50% probability of being released, based on the decay of a radioactive atom. As such, t…
Multi-Frequency Atom-Photon Interactions
Ben Yuen, Christopher J. Foot
We present a formalism that enables the analytic calculation of the interaction of a spin-half particle with a polychromatic electromagnetic field. This powerful new approach provi…
Polarisation oscillations in birefringent emitter-cavity systems
Thomas D. Barrett, Oliver Barter, Dustin Stuart +2
We present the effects of resonator birefringence on the cavity-enhanced interfacing of quantum states of light and matter, including the first observation of single photons with a…
Quantum Mechanics in Technicolor; Analytic Expressions for a Spin-Half Particle Driven by Polychromatic Light
Ben Yuen
A vast collection of light-matter interactions are described by the single-frequency Rabi model. However, the physical world is polychromatic, and until now there is no general met…
