Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a promising approach to implement
quantum memory in quantum communication and quantum computing applications. In this …

Enhancing the optical cross section is an enticing goal in light-matter interactions, due to its
fundamental role in quantum and nonlinear optics. Here, we show how dipolar interactions …

We investigate quantum control of a single atom in a tightly focused optical tweezer trap. We
show that inevitable spatially varying polarization gives rise to significant internal-state …

Many quantum information processing protocols require efficient transfer of quantum
information from a flying photon to a stationary quantum system,,. To transfer information, a …

State mapping between atoms and photons, and photon-photon interactions play an
important role in scalable quantum information processing. We consider the interaction of a …

Absorption imaging has played a key role in the advancement of science from van
Leeuwenhoek's discovery of red blood cells to modern observations of dust clouds in stellar …

We investigate the interaction between a single atom and optical pulses in a coherent state
with a controlled temporal envelope. In a comparison between a rising exponential and a …

Scattering of light by matter has been studied extensively in the past. Yet, the most
fundamental process, the scattering of a single photon by a single atom, is largely …

In this paper, we study the modification of coherent scattering processes in dense
ensembles. Using absorption imaging, we experimentally demonstrate that the absorption …
