The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is really odd
Paul M. Alsing, Richard J. Birrittella, Christopher C. Gerry +2
When quantum state amplitudes interfere, surprising non-classical features emerge which emphasis the roles of indistinguishability and discreteness in quantum mechanics. A famous e…
Extending the Hong-Ou-Mandel Effect: the power of nonclassicality
Paul M. Alsing, Richard J. Birrittella, Christopher C. Gerry +2
We show that the parity (evenness or oddness) of a nonclassical state of light has a dominant influence on the interference effects at a balanced beam splitter, irrespective of the…
Cavity-free nondestructive detection of a single optical photon
Keyu Xia, Mattias Johnsson, Peter L. Knight +1
Detecting a single photon without absorbing it is a long standing challenge in quantum optics. All experiments demonstrating the nondestructive detection of a photon make use of a…
One-way quantum computation with four-dimensional photonic qudits
Jaewoo Joo, Peter L. Knight, Jeremy L. O'Brien +1
We consider the possibility of performing linear optical quantum computation making use of extra photonic degrees of freedom. In particular we focus on the case where we use photon…
Trapping cold atoms near carbon nanotubes: thermal spin flips and Casimir-Polder potential
Rachele Fermani, Stefan Scheel, Peter L. Knight
We investigate the possibility to trap ultracold atoms near the outside of a metallic carbon nanotube (CN) which we imagine to use as a miniaturized current-carrying wire. We calcu…
Comment on `Spin Decoherence in Superconducting Atom Chips'
Stefan Scheel, E. A. Hinds, P. L. Knight
We comment on a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 070401 (2006): quant-ph/0603229] concerning rubidium atoms trapped near a superconducting niobium surface at ~4K. This seeks to c…
