The authors review the history, current status, physical mechanisms, experimental methods,
and applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects in atomic vapors. They begin by …

Both cavity quantum electrodynamics and photons are promising candidates for quantum
information processing. We consider a combination of both candidates with a single photon …

The logic Bell-state which encodes many physical qubits in a logic qubit has great
application potential in the future quantum communication field, for it is robust to the …

Oxidation reactions in heterogeneous catalysis usually involve a Mars and van Krevelen
mechanism which includes activation of the substrate on a metallic cation, insertion of …

We study light coherent transport in the weak localization regime using magneto-optically
cooled strontium atoms. The coherent backscattering cone is measured in the four …

Atoms can scatter light and they can also amplify it by stimulated emission. From this simple
starting point, we examine the possibility of realizing a random laser in a cloud of laser …

We propose and demonstrate a radio-frequency atomic magnetometer with sub-Doppler
laser cooled rubidium-87. With a simple and compact design, our system demonstrates a …

Entanglement purification plays a fundamental role in long-distance quantum
communication. In the paper, we put forward the first polarization entanglement purification …

The optical Faraday effect describes the rotation of linear polarization upon propagation
through a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect arises from a …

This article discusses self-organization in cold atoms via light-mediated interactions induced
by feedback from a single retro-reflecting mirror. Diffractive dephasing between the pump …
