Journal ArticleDOI
Cavity quantum electrodynamics
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the cavity electrodynamics of free atoms is presented, with a focus on the one-atom maser and a survey of the entire field using free atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum optical tests of complementarity
TL;DR: In this paper, a new detector for atom interferometers, constructed with the aid of modern quantum optics, provides a way around the obstacle of position-momentum uncertainty relation and allows the investigation of other mechanisms that enforce complementarity.
Book ChapterDOI
Above-threshold ionization: From classical features to quantum effects
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracting Work from a Single Heat Bath via Vanishing Quantum Coherence
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum Carnot engine with quantum coherence was proposed, in which the atoms in the heat bath were given a small bit of quantum co-herence, which can be used to increase the temperature of the radiation field and to extract work from a single heat bath.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute-phase phenomena in photoionization with few-cycle laser pulses
Gerhard G. Paulus,F. Grasbon,Herbert Walther,Paolo Villoresi,Mauro Nisoli,Salvatore Stagira,E. Priori,S. De Silvestri +7 more
TL;DR: Here, a technique that does not require phase stabilization is used to demonstrate experimentally the influence of the absolute phase of a short laser pulse on the emission of photoelectrons.
