1.1K
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic physical ideas behind electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are elucidated and the relation of EIT to other processes involving laser-induced atomic coherence, such as coherent population trapping, coherent adiabatic population transfer and lasing without inversion, is discussed.

Abstract: The subject of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is reviewed in this paper. Emphasis is placed on the experimental work reported in this field since 1990. Theoretical work is also covered, although it is not intended to review all the very numerous recent theoretical treatments on this topic. The basic physical ideas behind EIT are elucidated. The relation of EIT to other processes involving laser-induced atomic coherence, such as coherent population trapping, coherent adiabatic population transfer and lasing without inversion, is discussed. Experimental work is described covering the following topics: EIT with pulsed and continuous-wave sources, lasing without inversion, pulse propagation in a laser dressed medium and EIT in nonlinear optical processes. A full set of references and a bibliography are included.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for quantum interconnects, which convert quantum states from one physical system to those of another in a reversible manner, allowing the distribution of entanglement across the network and teleportation of quantum states between nodes.

TL;DR: A theoretical model is presented that reveals that the system is self-adjusting to minimize dissipative loss during the ‘read’ and ‘write’ operations, anticipating applications of this phenomenon for quantum information processing.

TL;DR: A nanoplasmonic analogue of EIT is experimentally demonstrated using a stacked optical metamaterial to achieve a very narrow transparency window with high modulation depth owing to nearly complete suppression of radiative losses.
Atomic physics and quantum optics using superconducting circuits
J. Q. You,Franco Nori +1 more
TL;DR: Superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions exhibit macroscopic quantum coherence and can behave like artificial atoms as mentioned in this paper, and it is possible to implement atomic-physics and quantum-optics experiments on a chip using these artificial atoms.

A single-photon transistor using nanoscale surface plasmons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit the strong coupling between individual optical emitters and propagating surface plasmons confined to a conducting nanowire to realize strong nonlinear interactions at the single-photon level.

Effects of Configuration Interaction on Intensities and Phase Shifts
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the shape of the 2s2p^{1}P resonance of He observed in the inelastic scattering of electrons is presented. But the analysis is restricted to the case of one discrete level with two or more continua and of a set of discrete levels with one continuum.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental demonstration of electromagnetically induced transparency in an ultracold gas of sodium atoms, in which the optical pulses propagate at twenty million times slower than the speed of light in a vacuum, is presented.
Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
TL;DR: Electromagnetic induced transparency is a technique for eliminating the effect of a medium on a propagating beam of electromagnetic radiation EIT may also be used, but under more limited conditions, to eliminate optical self-focusing and defocusing and to improve the transmission of laser beams through inhomogeneous refracting gases and metal vapors, as figure 1 illustrates.

Observation of electromagnetically induced transparency.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the first demonstration of a technique by which an optically thick medium may be rendered transparent by applying a temporally smooth coupling laser between a bound state of an atom and the upper state of the transition which is to be made transparent.

TL;DR: The first demonstration of a technique by which an optically thick medium may be rendered transparent is reported, which results from a destructive interference of two dressed states created by applying a temporally smooth coupling laser between a bound state of an atom and the upper state of the transition which is to be made transparent.
