A Crystal-based Matter-wave Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory
Raymond Y. Chiao, A. D. Speliotopoulos
It is shown that atom interferometry allows for the construction of MIGO, the Matter-wave Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory. MIGOs of the same sensitivity as LIGO or L…
Towards MIGO, the Matter-wave Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory, and the Intersection of Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity
Raymond Y. Chiao, Achilles D. Speliotopoulos
A dynamical, non-Euclidean spacetime geometry in general relativity theory implies the possibility of gravitational radiation. Here we explore novel methods of detecting such radia…
Fast light, slow light, and phase singularities: a connection to generalized weak values
D. R. Solli, C. F. McCormick, R. Y. Chiao +2
We demonstrate that Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman (AAV) weak values have a direct relationship with the response function of a system, and have a much wider range of applicability in bot…
Effective photon-photon interaction in a two-dimensional "photon fluid"
R. Y. Chiao, T. H. Hansson, J. M. Leinaas +1
We formulate an effective theory for the atom-mediated photon-photon interactions in a two-dimensional ``photon fluid'' confined in a Fabry-Perot resonator. With the atoms modelled…
Experimental observation of superluminal group velocities in bulk two-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals
D. R. Solli, C. F. McCormick, R. Y. Chiao +1
We have experimentally observed superluminal and infinite group velocities in bulk hexagonal two-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals with bandgaps in the microwave region. The gr…
Weak-wave advancement in nearly collinear four-wave mixing
C. F. McCormick, R. Y. Chiao, J. M. Hickmann
We identify a new four-wave mixing process in which two nearly collinear pump beams produce phase-dependent gain into a weak bisector signal beam in a self-defocusing Kerr medium.…
