The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

The history of the theory of quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements from the 1920s
until today is reviewed. The definition and main principles of QND measurements are …

An important development in modern physics is the emerging capability for investigations of
dynamical processes for open quantum systems in a regime of strong coupling for which …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of atom mirrors, resonators,
waveguides, and traps that operate for the most part on the evanescent light-wave …

The dipole force experienced by an atom in a nonresonant spatially inhomogeneous light
field is quantized by the discrete nature of the photon. We propose to detect this quantization …

The Schrödinger equation for an atomic beam predicts that it must have a phase anomaly
near the beam waist analogous to the Gouy phase of an electromagnetic beam. We propose …

The quantization of atomic center-of-mass motion is considered within the context of cavity
QED with particular emphasis on the dynamics of localized wave packets.“Well-dressed” …

We present a theoretical study of the localization1 of atoms with an angular momentum J g=
3 to J e= 4 transition (eg, chromium atoms) in quantized optical molasses created by two …

It is shown that the deflection of an atom de Broglie wave at a nonresonant weak cavity field
mode can yield a pure entangled quantum state in which discernable atomic beams are …

The role of the initial-state preparation in the coherent diffraction of atoms in the field of a
standing wave is considered. It is shown that the time evolution of the atomic wave packet …
