An Apparatus to study matter-wave quantum optics in sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
Bhagat, Anita (2017)Spin-exchange collisions in quantum degenerate gases act as a nonlinear interaction that creates entanglement between atoms in different spin states. Therefore, they make it possible to study matter-wave quantum nonlinear ... -
Characterization and Control of Spatial Correlations in Entangled Twin Beams
Nirala, Gaurav (2024-05-10)Our understanding and ability to manipulate quantum correlations in non-classical states of light will be a determining factor in realizing the next generation of quantum technologies. Over the last several decades, we ... -
Electromagnetically Induced transparency with Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes in ultracold rubidium
Akin, Thomas (2015-05)We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) using lasers in the Laguerre- Gaussian mode. The probe transmission is studied in an ultracold gas for the D2 line in both 85Rb and 87Rb. We consider the Lambda ... -
Enhanced Measurement of Transmission with Quantum States of Light
Woodworth, Timothy (2022)Quantum metrology is the application of quantum mechanics towards the enhancement of measurements. This is typically achieved through either quantum measurements, such as photon counting, or using quantum states. In this ... -
Experimental Study of Cs Isotropic and Anisotropic Polyatomic Rydberg Molecules
Yang, Jin (2019-08-22)In this thesis, we investigate few-body physics and many-body physics of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules. Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules are formed through scattering processes between Rydberg electrons and ground ... -
Generation and Control of Atomic Resonant Squeezed Light
Kim, Saesun (2022-05)Quantum metrology is a new emerging technology studying of extreme sensitive and high resolution measurement based on quantum mechanical principles such as quantum entanglement and squeezing, which can potentially revolutionize ... -
Impact of Edge Diffraction in Dual-Polarized Phased Array Antennas
Ortiz, Javier Alejandro (2020-07-30)An analytical model is proposed to characterize and quantify the effects that diffracted fields have on the performance of phased array antennas. The work involves the combination of diffraction theory techniques and how ... -
Light Matter Interaction in A Rydberg Blockaded Ensemble
Jahangiri Jozani, Akbar (2022-06-29)This thesis presents a study of the interactions between two Rydberg atoms and Rydberg atomic ensemble with a monochromatic light field. The first part of the thesis covers the interaction between two Rydberg atoms. The ... -
Molecular beam epitaxial growth of interband cascade structures with advances in InAs- and GaSb-based interband cascade lasers
Massengale, Jeremy (2023-04-21)Interband cascade lasers (ICLs) based on the type-II quantum well (QW) active region have attracted much interest over the years, in large part due to their low power consumption. Their operation hinges on two key features; ... -
Quantum Effects in Nodal-line Semimetals
Kim, Sang Wook (2020)Topological materials such as Dirac and Weyl semimetals have relativistic quasiparticles at a discrete number of points in the Brillouin zone. Those materials are semimetalas in the bulk but host metallic surface states ... -
Quantum Plasmonic Sensing Using Squeezed Light
Dowran, Mohammadjavad (2021-08-05)Quantum sensing is an emerging field of quantum optics that seeks to take advantage of quantum correlations available in quantum states of light to enable sensitivities beyond the fundamental classical limits. The sensitivity ... -
Scalable Multipartite Entanglement Using Squeezed light
Thomas, Daida (2022)Quantum entanglement is a pure quantum mechanical phenomena with no classical counterpart. The strong non locality of multipartite entangled states makes it suitable for application of quantum mechanics towards quantum ... -
