Efficient All-Optical Switching Using Slow Light within a Hollow Fiber

Bajcsy, M; Hofferberth, Sebastian; Balic, V; Peyronel, T; Hafezi, Mohammad; Zibrov, Alexander S; Vuletic, V; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society, 2009)

We demonstrate a fiber-optical switch that is activated at tiny energies corresponding to a few hundred optical photons per pulse. This is achieved by simultaneously confining both photons and a small lasercooled ensemble ...

Realization of Coherent Optically Dense Media via Buffer-Gas Cooling

Hong, Tao; Gorshkov, Alexey Vyacheslavovich; Patterson, David; Zibrov, Alexander S; Doyle, John M.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Prentiss, Mara (American Physical Society, 2009)

We demonstrate that buffer-gas cooling combined with laser ablation can be used to create coherent optical media with high optical depth and low Doppler broadening that offers metastable states with low collisional and ...

Trapping and Manipulation of Isolated Atoms Using Nanoscale Plasmonic Structures

Chang, D. E.; Thompson, J. D.; Park, H; Vuletic´, V.; Zibrov, Alexander S; Zoller, P.; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society (APS), 2009)

We propose and analyze a scheme to interface individual neutral atoms with nanoscale solid-state systems. The interface is enabled by optically trapping the atom via the strong near-field generated by a sharp metallic ...

Repetitive Readout of a Single Electronic Spin via Quantum Logic with Nuclear Spin Ancillae

Jiang, Liang; Hodges, J. S.; Maze, J. R.; Maurer, Peter; Taylor, J. M.; Cory, D. G.; Hemmer, P. R.; Walsworth, Ronald Lee; Yacoby, Amir; Zibrov, Alexander S; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2009)

Robust measurement of single quantum bits plays a key role in the realization of quantum computation and communication as well as in quantum metrology and sensing. We have implemented a method for the improved readout of ...
