Photon Transport in a Gas of Two-Level Atoms: Unveiling Quantum Light Creation
Leonid Yatsenko, Martin Cordier, Lucas Pache +4
We present a theoretical analysis of nearly monochromatic light propagation through a gas of two-level atoms using the Heisenberg-Langevin equation method. Our focus is on the evol…
Will a single two-level atom simultaneously scatter two photons?
Luke Masters, Xinxin Hu, Martin Cordier +5
The interaction of light with a single two-level emitter is the most fundamental process in quantum optics, and is key to many quantum applications. As a distinctive feature, two p…
Unraveling two-photon entanglement via the squeezing spectrum of light traveling through nanofiber-coupled atoms
Jakob Hinney, Adarsh S. Prasad, Sahand Mahmoodian +5
We observe that a weak guided light field transmitted through an ensemble of atoms coupled to an optical nanofiber exhibits quadrature squeezing. From the measured squeezing spectr…
Correlating photons using the collective nonlinear response of atoms weakly coupled to an optical mode
Adarsh S. Prasad, Jakob Hinney, Sahand Mahmoodian +6
Photons in a nonlinear medium can repel or attract each other, resulting in a strongly correlated quantum many-body system. Typically, such strongly correlated states of light aris…
