Single-molecule vacuum Rabi splitting: four-wave mixing and optical switching at the single-photon level
André Pscherer, Manuel Meierhofer, Daqing Wang +5
A single quantum emitter can possess a very strong intrinsic nonlinearity, but its overall promise for nonlinear effects is hampered by the challenge of efficient coupling to incid…
Enantiomer superpositions from matter-wave interference of chiral molecules
Benjamin A. Stickler, Mira Diekmann, Robert Berger +1
Molecular matter-wave interferometry enables novel strategies for manipulating the internal mechanical motion of complex molecules. Here, we show how chiral molecules can be prepar…
Single-atom heat engine as a sensitive thermal probe
Amikam Levy, Moritz Göb, Bo Deng +3
We propose employing a quantum heat engine as a sensitive probe for thermal baths. In particular, we study a single-atom Otto engine operating in an open thermodynamic cycle. Owing…
Turning a molecule into a coherent two-level quantum system
Daqing Wang, Hrishikesh Kelkar, Diego Martin-Cano +5
Molecules are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and man-made products, but their use in quantum optical applications has been hampered by incoherent internal vibrations and other pho…
