Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of photons on demand using cavity quantum electrodynamics
TL;DR: A survey of recent experiments on the deterministic generation of photons can be found in this article, where experiments using Rydberg atoms in microwave cavities and trapped ions in optical cavities are discussed.
Book ChapterDOI
Multiphoton Ionization of Atoms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an energy level scheme for the analysis of the photoionization cross sections of the alkali atoms, where the ionization potentials are small so that the energy of only a few visible photons is sufficient to ionize the atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple study of photon correlations from Hanbury-Brown and Twiss to Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen and beyond
TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude and intensity correlations from two two-level atoms were analyzed and various schemes to examine interference in scattering were discussed, both with semiclassical treatment and quantum mechanical treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum optics of single atoms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the one-atom maser or micromaser to produce a deterministic atom-field coupling necessary for quantum information processing in order to achieve a fixed number of photons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of cooperative quantum jumps due to fast spontaneous decay
C. Skornia,C. Skornia,J. von Zanthier,Girish S. Agarwal,Girish S. Agarwal,E. Werner,Herbert Walther +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Quantum Monte Carlo wave function approach is used to rule out the possibility of cooperative effects in the quantum jump statistics of adjacent three-level ions of the type discussed in a series of experiments and theoretical investigations.
