Optical forces on atoms subject to higher-order Poincaré vortex modes
Smail Bougouffa, Mohamed Babiker
The interaction of atoms with higher-order Poincaré optical vortex modes of order is explored for light close to resonance with atomic dipole transitions. It is well-know…
Exploring quantum correlations in a hybrid optomechanical system
Smail Bougouffa, Mohannad Al-Hmoud, Jabir Wali Hakami
In quantum simulations and experiments on optomechanical cavities, coherence control is a challenging issue. We propose a scheme of two coupled optomechanical cavities to enhance t…
Absorption of hybrid fibre modes by Cs atoms in quadrupole transitions
Smail Bougouffa, Mohamed Babiker
We evaluate the rate of the absorption of an optical nanofiber mode by a Cs atom in an electric quadrupole transition. With the Cs atom localized near the outer surface of the opti…
Quadrupole absorption rate for atoms in circularly-polarized optical vortices
Smail Bougouffa
Twisted light beams, or optical vortices, have been used to drive the circular motion of microscopic particles in optical tweezers and have been shown to generate vortices in quant…
Solutions of the two-wave interactions in quadratic nonlinear media
Lazhar Bougoffa, Smail Bougouffa
In this paper, we propose a reliable treatment for studying the two-wave (symbiotic) solitons of interactions in nonlinear quadratic media. We investigate Schauder's fixed point th…
Delayed transfer of entanglement to initially populated qubits
Smail Bougouffa, Zbigniew Ficek
The transfer of entangled, quantum correlated, flying photons from a squeezed field to single-mode cavities is investigated. It is shown that, while the transfer of photons begins…
