Coherent preparation by laser light of quantum states of atoms and molecules can lead to
quantum interference in the amplitudes of optical transitions. In this way the optical …

During the past decade the interaction of light with multiatom ensembles has attracted much
attention as a basic building block for quantum information processing and quantum state …

We have observed both superluminal and ultraslow light propagation in an alexandrite
crystal at room temperature. Group velocities as slow as 91 meters per second to as fast as …

This Colloquium examines the field of the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) gedanken
experiment, from the original paper of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, through to modern …

The application of high frequency acoustic devices to enhance electronics saw an
extraordinary growth in Eastern and Western countries in the sixties and seventies. A major …

In this paper, a side-coupled triangle cavity in a plasmonic waveguide structure is proposed
and numerically analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and coupled …

In this letter, a novel atomic scheme is proposed to study the transient evolution of the atomic
response with applications to lasing with and without population inversion. We introduce an …

A symmetric four-level closed-loop♢ type (the diamond-shape) atomic system driven by four
coherent optical fields is investigated. The system shows rich quantum interference and …

This letter investigates the dynamical behavior of the absorption in a superconducting
quantum circuit with a tunable V-type artificial molecule constructed by two superconducting …

This book presents the various types of resonance effects on excitons, biexcitons and the
local electronic centers (LEC) in solids, such as paramagnetic and paraelectric resonances …
