Speed, retention loss, and motional heating of atoms in an optical conveyor belt
G. T. Hickman, M. Saffman
The problem of high-speed transport for cold atoms with minimal heating has received considerable attention in theory and experiment. Much theoretical work has focused on solutions…
Collective excitations using a room-temperature gas of 3-level atoms in a cavity
G. T. Hickman
We theoretically investigate an ensemble of three-level room-temperature atoms in a two-mode optical cavity, focusing on the case of counterpropagating light fields. We find that i…
Low-Power Cross-Phase Modulation in a Metastable Xenon-Filled Cavity for Quantum Information Applications
G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson
Weak single-photon nonlinearities have many potential applications in quantum computing and quantum information. Here we demonstrate a relatively simple system for producing low-po…
Saturated absorption at nanowatt power levels using metastable xenon in a high-finesse optical cavity
G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson
Strong saturated absorption at nanowatt power levels has been demonstrated using metastable xenon in a high-finesse optical cavity. The use of metastable xenon allows a high qualit…
Feasibility of single-photon cross-phase modulation using metastable xenon in a high finesse cavity
B. T. Kirby, G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman +1
Cross-phase modulation at the single-photon level has a wide variety of fundamental applications in quantum optics including the generation of macroscopic entangled states. Here we…
