The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Controlling the interaction between localized optical and mechanical excitations has
recently become possible following advances in micro-and nanofabrication techniques,. So …

“Cavity-optomechanics” aims to study the quantum properties of mechanical systems. A
common strategy implemented in order to achieve this goal couples a high finesse photonic …

Coherent optical manipulation of exciton states provides a fascinating approach for quantum
gating and ultrafast switching. However, their coherence time for incumbent semiconductors …

We analyze the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in V-, Λ-, and cascade-type
schemes in a time-dependent way via the Schrödinger-Maxwell formalism. We derive …

Semiconductors have uniquely attractive properties for electronics and photonics. However,
it has been difficult to find a highly coherent quantum state in a semiconductor for …

Coherent interaction between light and matter generates photon-dressed replicas of the
original electronic levels (that is, Floquet states). This opens up a so-called field of Floquet …

We demonstrate the analog of electromagnetically induced transparency in a room
temperature cavity optomechanics setup formed by a thin semitransparent membrane within …

The motions of electrons in solids may be highly correlated by strong, long-range Coulomb
interactions. Correlated electron-hole pairs (excitons) are accessed spectroscopically …

A hallmark of wave–matter duality is the emergence of quantum-interference phenomena
when an electronic transition follows different trajectories. This type of interference results in …
