An approximate analytical solution is presented, along with numerical calculations, for a
system of two single-photon wave packets interacting via an ideal, localized Kerr medium. It …

The weak nonlinear Kerr interaction between single photons and intense laser fields has
been recently proposed as a basis for distributed optics-based solutions to few-qubit …

We consider a general class of integrated quantum systems where photon-photon
interaction occurs in a quantum device that is localized in space. Using techniques that are …

We show that an alkali-metal atom with a tripod electronic structure can yield rich
electromagnetically-induced-transparency phenomena even at room temperature. In …

We have studied light storage in an electromagnetically-induced-transparency medium. The
total storage efficiency for the probe pulse has been presented, with and without adiabatic …

Wave modes induced by cross-phase resha** of a probe photon in the guiding structure
of a periodic train of temporal pulses are investigated theoretically with emphasis on exact …

In this work, we experimentally observe for the first time nanoscale plasmonic enhanced
Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) and Velocity Selective Optical Pum** …

The architecture proposed by Duan, Lukin, Cirac, and Zoller (DLCZ) for long-distance
quantum communication with atomic ensembles is analyzed. Its fidelity and throughput in …

We discuss the optical response of a quantum molecule under the action of two lasers fields.
Using a realistic model and parameters, we map the physical conditions to find three …

We demonstrate a fast Kerr phase gate in a room-temperature 85 Rb vapor using a Raman
gain method where the probe wave travels “superluminally”. Continuously variable, zero to …
