Photon statistics divides light sources into three different categories, characterized by
bunched, antibunched, or uncorrelated photon arrival times. Single atoms, ions, molecules …

Photon indistinguishability constitutes an essential resource in modern physics. At the scale
of individual atoms and photons, it is a diverse concept that causes different coherent …

We present the design and construction of a new experimental apparatus for the trap** of
single Ba+ ions in the center of curvature of an optical-quality hemispherical mirror. We …

There are an increasing number of experimental scenarios where near-resonant light is
applied to atoms tightly trapped in far off-resonant optical fields, such as for quantum optics …

While the spontaneous emission from independent emitters provides spatially uncorrelated
photons-a typical manifestation of quantum randomness, the interference of the coherent …

The efficient detection of light from trapped ions in free space is paramount for most of their
applications. We propose a scheme to enhance the photon collection from linear ion strings …

We study collective light scattering from linear crystals with up to twelve $^{40}\text {Ca}^+ $
ions, acting as coherent single photon emitters. Light-scattering is induced by two-photon …

We present an optical scheme to detect the oscillations of a two-ion string confined in a
linear Paul trap. The motion is detected by analyzing the intensity correlations in the …

Phase matching refers to a process in which atom-field interactions lead to the creation of an
output field that propagates coherently through the interaction volume. By studying light …

Interesting coherence and correlations appear between superpositions of two bosonic
modes when the modes are parametrically coupled to a third intermediate mode and are …
