Nuclear excitons known from Mossbauer spectroscopy describe coherent excitations of a large number of nuclei -- analogous to Dicke states (or Dicke super-radiance) in quantum optics. In this paper, we study the possibility of constructing a laser based on these coherent excitations. In contrast to the free electron laser (in its usual design), such a device would be based on stimulated emission and thus might offer certain advantages, e.g., regarding energy-momentum accuracy. Unfortunately, inserting realistic parameters, the window of operability is probably not open (yet) to present-day technology -- but our design should be feasible in the UV regime, for example.

We propose to use a large cloud of cold trapped ions as a medium for quantum optics and quantum information experiments. Contrary to most recent realizations of qubit manipulation based on a small number of trapped and cooled ions, we study the case
of traps containing a macroscopic number of ions. We consider in particular the implementation of a quantum memory for quantum information stored in continuous variables and study the impact of the relevant physical parameters on the expected performances of the system.
We determine the resource scaling of machine learning-based quantum state reconstruction methods, in terms of inference and training, for systems of up to four qubits when constrained to pure states. Further, we examine system performance in the low-
count regime, likely to be encountered in the tomography of high-dimensional systems. Finally, we implement our quantum state reconstruction method on an IBM Q quantum computer, and compare against both unconstrained and constrained MLE state reconstruction.
We comment on the theoretical quantum state of a propagating laser field proposed by van Enk and Fuchs [quant-ph/0104036, quant-ph/0111157] and clarify that the multimode description of the propagating laser field does not modify our analysis of cont
inuous variable quantum teleportation [quant-ph/0103147]. Furthermore we point out that the ``complete measurements discussed by van Enk and Fuchs have not been achieved by existing technology and may not be possible even in principle.
The paradigm of cavity QED is a two-level emitter interacting with a high quality factor single mode optical resonator. The hybridization of the emitter and photon wave functions mandates large vacuum Rabi frequencies and long coherence times; featur
es that so far have been successfully realized with trapped cold atoms and ions and localized solid state quantum emitters such as superconducting circuits, quantum dots, and color centers. Thermal atoms on the other hand, provide us with a dense emitter ensemble and in comparison to the cold systems are more compatible with integration, hence enabling large-scale quantum systems. However, their thermal motion and large transit time broadening is a major challenge that has to be circumvented. A promising remedy could benefit from the highly controllable and tunable electromagnetic fields of a nano-photonic cavity with strong local electric-field enhancements. Utilizing this feature, here we calculate the interaction between fast moving, thermal atoms and a nano-beam photonic crystal cavity (PCC) with large quality factor and small mode volume. Through fully quantum mechanical calculations, including Casimir-Polder potential (i.e. the effect of the surface on radiation properties of an atom) we show, when designed properly, the achievable coupling between the flying atom and the cavity photon would be strong enough to lead to Rabi flopping in spite of short interaction times. In addition, the time-resolved detection of different trajectories can be used to identify single and multiple atom counts. This probabilistic approach will find applications in cavity QED studies in dense atomic media and paves the way towards realizing coherent quantum control schemes in large-scale macroscopic systems aimed at out of the lab quantum devices.
Due to their high coherence, Lasers are a ubiquitous tool in science. The standard quantum limit for the phase coherence time was first introduced by [A. Schawlow and C. Townes, Phys. Rev. 112, 1940 (1958)], who showed that the minimum possible laser
linewidth is determined by the linewidth of the laser cavity divided by twice the number of photons in the cavity. Later, Wiseman showed theoretically that by using Susskind-Glogower (SG) operators to couple the gain medium to the laser cavity it is possible to eliminate pump noise, but not loss noise. This decreases the minimum laser linewidth, though only by a factor of two. In this article, we show that by engineering the coupling between the laser cavity and the output port it is possible to eliminate most of the loss noise as well and construct a laser that has a vastly narrower linewidth, narrower than the standard quantum limit by a factor equal to the number of photons in the laser cavity. We establish a roadmap for building such a device in the laboratory by using Josephson junctions and linear circuit elements to build coupling circuits that behave like SG operators for a range of cavity photon occupancies and using them to couple the laser cavity to both the gain medium and the output port. This device could be an ultra-coherent, cryogenic light source for microwave quantum information experiments. Further, our laser provides highly squeezed light and could be modified to provide designer quantum light which is an important resource for CV/linear optical quantum computing, readout of quantum states in superconducting quantum computers, quantum metrology, and quantum communication. Finally, our proposal relies on the tools and elements of superconducting quantum information, and thus is a clear example of how quantum engineering techniques can inspire us to re-imagine the limits of conventional quantum systems such as the laser.
