We have characterized a novel photon-echo pulse sequence for a double-$Lambda$ type energy level system where the input and rephasing transitions are different to the applied $pi$-pulses. We show that despite having imperfect $pi$-pulses (associated with large coherent emission due to free induction decay), the noise added is only 0.019$pm$0.001 relative to the shot noise in the spectral mode of the echo. Using this echo pulse sequence in the `rephased amplified spontaneous emission (RASE) scheme cite{Ledingham2010} will allow for generation of entangled photon pairs that are in different frequency, temporal, and potentially spatial modes to any bright driving fields. The coherence and efficiency properties of this sequence were characterized in a Pr:YSO crystal.

The exact solution for the free induction decay in a one-dimensional system in the multi-pulse experiment is obtained at both high and low temperatures in the approximation of nearest neighbor interactions. The experimental investigation is performed on a quasi-one-dimensional system of $^{19}$F nuclear spins in a single crystal of fluorapatite. The theoretical results are in a good agreement with the obtained experimental data.
Photon blockade is an effective way to generate single photon, which is of great significance in quantum state preparation and quantum information processing. Here we investigate the statistical properties of photons in a double-cavity optomechanical system with nonreciprocal coupling, and explore the photon blockade in the weak and strong coupling regions respectively. To achieve the strong photon blockade, we give the optimal parameter relations under different blockade mechanisms. Moreover, we find that the photon blockades under their respective mechanisms exhibit completely different behaviors with the change of nonreciprocal coupling, and the perfect photon blockade can be achieved without an excessively large optomechanical coupling, i.e., the optomechanical coupling is much smaller than the mechanical frequency, which breaks the traditional cognition. Our proposal provides a feasible and flexible platform for the realization of single-photon source.
Coherent sources of attosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation present many challenges if their full potential is to be realized. While many applications benefit from the broadband nature of these sources, it is also desirable to produce narrow b and XUV pulses, or to study autoionizing resonances in a manner that is free of the broad ionization background that accompanies above-threshold XUV excitation. Here we demonstrate a method for controlling the coherent XUV free induction decay that results from using attosecond pulses to excite a gas, yielding a fully functional modulator for XUV wavelengths. We use an infrared (IR) control pulse to manipulate both the spatial and spectral phase of the XUV emission, sending the light in a direction of our choosing at a time of our choosing. This allows us to tailor the light using opto-optical modulation, similar to devices available in the IR and visible wavelength regions.
We study the decay rate of the Loschmidt echo or fidelity in a chaotic system under a time-dependent perturbation $V(q,t)$ with typical strength $hbar/tau_{V}$. The perturbation represents the action of an uncontrolled environment interacting with th e system, and is characterized by a correlation length $xi_0$ and a correlation time $tau_0$. For small perturbation strengths or rapid fluctuating perturbations, the Loschmidt echo decays exponentially with a rate predicted by the Fermi Golden Rule, $1/tilde{tau}= tau_{c}/tau_{V}^2$, where typically $tau_{c} sim min[tau_{0},xi_0/v]$ with $v$ the particle velocity. Whenever the rate $1/tilde{tau}$ is larger than the Lyapunov exponent of the system, a perturbation independent Lyapunov decay regime arises. We also find that by speeding up the fluctuations (while keeping the perturbation strength fixed) the fidelity decay becomes slower, and hence, one can protect the system against decoherence.

The future of long-distance quantum communication relies on the availability of quantum memory, i.e. devices that allow temporal storage of quantum information. We review research related to quantum state storage based on a photon-echo approach in rare earth ion doped crystals and glasses.
