In the paper are considered stationary (Bloch) states of a particle, in the field of periodic biparabolic type potential. It is shown that while the particles energy decreases in limits of a single energy band, the probability of the particle to be in barrier-type region of periodic potential increases, in contrary to the expected decreasing. This anomalous behavior is more pronounced for the near-top bands and monotonically decreases for the higher or lower ones.

We study the absorption and dispersion properties of a ${bf Lambda}$-type atom which decays spontaneously near the edge of a photonic band gap (PBG). Using an isotropic PBG model, we show that the atom can become transparent to a probe laser field, even when other dissipative channels are present. This transparency originates from the square root singularity of the density of modes of the PBG material at threshold.
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) has been extensively studied in various systems. However, it is not easy to observe in superconducting quantum circuits (SQCs), because the Rabi frequency of the strong controlling field corresponding to EIT is limited by the decay rates of the SQCs. Here, we show that EIT can be achieved by engineering decay rates in a superconducting circuit QED system through a classical driving field on the qubit. Without such a driving field, the superconducting qubit and the cavity field are approximately decoupled in the large detuning regime, and thus the eigenstates of the system are approximately product states of the cavity field and qubit states. However, the driving field can strongly mix these product states and so-called polariton states can be formed. The weights of the states for the qubit and cavity field in the polariton states can be tuned by the driving field, and thus the decay rates of the polariton states can be changed. We choose a three-level system with $Lambda$-type transitions in such a driven circuit QED system, and demonstrate how EIT and ATS can be realized in this compound system. We believe that this study will be helpful for EIT experiments using SQCs.
We report on the all-optical detection of Rydberg states in a effusive atomic beam of strontium atoms using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Using narrow-linewidth CW lasers we obtain an EIT linewidth of 5 MHz. To illustrate the high spectroscopic resolution offered by this method, we have measured isotope shifts of the 5s18d ^1D_2 and 5s19s ^1S_0 Rydberg states. This technique could be applied to high-resolution, non-destructive measurements of ultra-cold Rydberg gases and plasmas.
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a well-known phenomenon due in part to its applicability to quantum devices such as quantum memories and quantum gates. EIT is commonly modeled with a three-level lambda system due to the simplicity of the calculations. However, this simplified model does not capture all the physics of EIT experiments with real atoms. We present a theoretical study of the effect of two closely-spaced excited states on EIT and off-resonance Raman transitions. We find that the coherent interaction of the fields with two excited states whose separation is smaller than their Doppler broadened linewidth can enhance the EIT transmission and broaden the width of the EIT peak. However, a shift of the two-photon resonance frequency for systems with transitions of unequal dipole strengths leads to a reduction of the maximum transparency that can be achieved when Doppler broadening is taken into account even under ideal conditions of no decoherence. As a result, complete transparency cannot be achieved in a vapor cell. Only when the separation between the two excited states is of the order of the Doppler width or larger can complete transparency be recovered. In addition, we show that off-resonance Raman absorption is enhanced and its resonance frequency is shifted. Finally, we present experimental EIT measurements on the D1 line of $^{85}$Rb that agree with the theoretical predictions when the interaction of the fields with the four levels is taken into account.
Let two coordinate systems, in possession of Alice and Bob, be related to each other by an unknown rotation $Rin SO(3)$. Alice is to send identical states $|psi_0ra$ to Bob who will make measurements on the received state and will determine the rotation $R$. The task of Bob is to estimate these parameters of the rotation $R$ by the best possible measurements. Based on the Quantum Fisher Information, we show that Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states are near optimal states for this task. Compared to the optimal states proposed before, the advantage of $GHZ$ states are that they can be more easily prepared experimentally, and more importantly, we show concrete measurements which will allow Bob to determine the rotation $R$. We also study the robustness of these states in keeping their encoded information, against common sources of noises.
