Demonstration of a state-insensitive, compensated nanofiber trap
A. Goban, K. S. Choi, D. J. Alton +6
We report the experimental realization of an optical trap that localizes single Cs atoms ~215 nm from surface of a dielectric nanofiber. By operating at magic wavelengths for pairs…
A state-insensitive, compensated nanofiber trap
C. Lacroûte, K. S. Choi, A. Goban +4
Laser trapping and interfacing of laser-cooled atoms in an optical fiber network is an important capability for quantum information science. Following the pioneering work of Balyki…
Simulations of atomic trajectories near a dielectric surface
N. P. Stern, D. J. Alton, H. J. Kimble
We present a semiclassical model of an atom moving in the evanescent field of a microtoroidal resonator. Atoms falling through whispering-gallery modes can achieve strong, coherent…
Strong Interactions of Single Atoms and Photons near a Dielectric Boundary
D. J. Alton, N. P. Stern, Takao Aoki +4
Modern research in optical physics has achieved quantum control of strong interactions between a single atom and one photon within the setting of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQ…
Distinguishability of Gaussian States in Quantum Cryptography using Post-Selection
Christian Weedbrook, Daniel J. Alton, Thomas Symul +2
We consider the distinguishability of Gaussian states from the view point of continuous-variable quantum cryptography using post-selection. Specifically, we use the probability of…
Efficient routing of single photons by one atom and a microtoroidal cavity
Takao Aoki, A. S. Parkins, D. J. Alton +5
Single photons from a coherent input are efficiently redirected to a separate output by way of a fiber-coupled microtoroidal cavity interacting with individual Cesium atoms. By ope…
