Through a quantitative analysis of an atomic transition driven strongly by quantized electromagnetic fields of various quantum states, we explore the role of quantum fluctuations on the behavior of the system. The emphasis is on fields with super-Poissonian statistics manifested in photon bunching, with the case of squeezed vacuum radiation serving as a prototype of superbuching. When combined with non-linearly coupling of the resonant states, bunching and superbunching lead to counter-intuitive behavior. The connection to recent progress in squeezed vacuum sources and the opportunity for experimental investigation, as well as challenging open theoretical problems are also outlined.

Any optical quantum information processing machine would be comprised of fully-characterized constituent devices for both single state manipulations and tasks involving the interaction between multiple quantum optical states. Ideally for the latter, would be an apparatus capable of deterministic optical phase shifts that operate on input quantum states with the action mediated solely by auxiliary signal fields. Here we present the complete experimental characterization of a system designed for optically controlled phase shifts acting on single-photon level probe coherent states. Our setup is based on a warm vapor of rubidium atoms under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency with its dispersion properties modified through the use of an optically triggered N-type Kerr non-linearity. We fully characterize the performance of our device by sending in a set of input probe states and measuring the corresponding output via balanced homodyne tomography and subsequently performing the technique of coherent state quantum process tomography. This method provides us with the precise knowledge of how our optical phase shift will modify any arbitrary input quantum state engineered in the mode of the reconstruction.
Magnetic resonance in an ensemble of laser-cooled trapped Rb atoms is excited using a micro- cantilever with a magnetic tip. The cantilever is mounted on a multi-layer chip designed to capture, cool, and magnetically transport cold atoms. The coupling is observed by measuring the loss from a magnetic trap as the oscillating cantilever induces Zeeman state transitions in the atoms. Interfacing cold atoms with mechanical devices could enable probing and manipulating atomic spins with nanometer spatial resolution and single-spin sensitivity, leading to new capabilities in quantum computation, quantum simulation, or precision sensing.
A model of correlated particles described by a generalized probability theory is suggested whose dynamics is subject to a non-linear version of Schrodinger equation. Such equations arise in many different contexts, most notably in the proposals for the gravitationally induced collapse of wave function. Here, it is shown that the consequence of the connection demonstrates a possible deviation of the theory from the standard formulation of quantum mechanics in the probability prediction of experiments. The links are identified from the fact that the analytic solution of the equation is given by Dirichlet eigenvalues which can be expressed by generalized trigonometric function. Consequently, modified formulation of Borns rule is obtained by relating the event probability of the measuement to an arbitrary exponent of the modulus of the eigenvalue solution. Such system, which is subject to the non-linear dynamic equation, illustrates the violation of the Clauser-Hore-Shimony-Holt inequality proportional to the degree of the non-linearity as it can be tested by a real experiment. Depending upon the degree, it is found that the violation can go beyond Tsirelson bound $2sqrt{2}$ and reaches to the value of nonlocal box.
We show that the critical exponent of a quantum phase transition in a damped-driven open system is determined by the spectral density function of the reservoir. We consider the open-system variant of the Dicke model, where the driven boson mode and also the large N-spin couple to independent reservoirs at zero temperature. The critical exponent, which is $1$ if there is no spin-bath coupling, decreases below 1 when the spin couples to a sub-Ohmic reservoir.
We report measurements of the time-dependent phases of the leak and retrieved pulses obtained in EIT storage experiments with metastable helium vapor at room temperature. In particular, we investigate the influence of the optical detuning at two-photon resonance, and provide numerical simulations of the full dynamical Maxwell-Bloch equations, which allow us to account for the experimental results.
