Laser-induced resonance shifts of single molecules self-coupled by a metallic surface
(American Physical Society, 2007-04-05)
The spectral properties of single molecules placed near a metallic surface are investigated at low temperatures. Because of the high quality factor of the optical resonance, a laser-induced shift of the molecular lines is ...
Fast light solitons in resonant media
(American Physical Society, 2007-04-05)
Using the structure of the Maxwell-Schrodinger equations in two-level systems in the transient domain, we derive both single-soliton and multisoliton (2n pi pulse) solutions associated with fast light in resonant media. ...
Quantum imaging with incoherent photons
(American Physical Society, 2007-09-28)
We propose a technique to obtain subwavelength resolution in quantum imaging with potentially 100% contrast using incoherent light. Our method requires neither path-entangled number states nor multiphoton absorption. The ...
Realization of quantum-mechanical weak values of observables using entangled photons
(American Physical Society, 2007-03-12)
We present a scheme for realization of quantum-mechanical weak values of observables using entangled photons produced in parametric down-conversion. We consider the case when the signal and idler modes are respectively in ...
Nonclassicality and decoherence of photon-subtracted squeezed states
(American Physical Society, 2007-03-07)
We discuss nonclassical properties of single-photon subtracted squeezed vacuum states in terms of the sub-Poissonian statistics and the negativity of the Wigner function. We derive a compact expression for the Wigner ...
