TLDR
Quantum interference between decay processes from two upper levels, which are coupled by the same vacuum modes to a lower level, have been investigated and its effects on the spontaneous emission spectrum have been studied.Abstract:
Quantum interference between decay processes from two upper levels, which are coupled by the same vacuum modes to a lower level, have been investigated and its effects on the spontaneous emission spectrum have been studied. The interference can result in spectral narrowing and a black dark line in the spectrum. The population in the upper levels is not a simple exponential decay due to the interference.read more

Colloquium: Coherently controlled adiabatic passage
TL;DR: In this article, the merging of coherent control and adiabatic passage (AP) is discussed and the type of problems that can be solved using the resulting coherently controlled AP method are discussed.

Essential entanglement for atomic and molecular physics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent experimental and theoretical progress in the study of quantum correlations under a wider perspective, with an emphasis on rigorous definitions of the entanglement of identical particles, and on entenglement studies in atoms and molecules.

Coherent Control of Spontaneous Emission near a Photonic Band Edge: A Single-Atom Optical Memory Device
TL;DR: In this article, coherent control of spontaneous emission from a three-level atom with one resonant frequency near the edge of a photonic band gap was demonstrated, where spontaneous emission can be totally suppressed or strongly enhanced depending on the relative phase between the control and pump laser fields.

Vacuum-Induced Processes in Multilevel Atoms
TL;DR: In this paper, a profound understanding of vacuum-induced processes in multilevel atoms is presented, and a complex interplay of vacuuminduced interatomic and intraatomic dynamics may arise if several multilesvel atoms are considered.
