The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Abstract The Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), a soluble fully quantum mechanical model of
an atom in a field, was first used (in 1963) to examine the classical aspects of spontaneous …

Manipulating the properties of the isofrequency contours (IFCs) of materials provides a
powerful means of controlling the interaction between light and matter. Hyperbolic …

At the core of the “proton radius puzzle” is a four–standard deviation discrepancy between
the proton root-mean-square charge radii (rp) determined from the regular hydrogen (H) and …

This book offers a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the quantum stochastic
methods that have been developed in the field of quantum optics. It includes new treatments …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

As a graduate student working in quantum optics I encountered the question that might be
taken as the theme of this book. The question definitely arose at that time though it was not …

Dissipation, the irreversible loss of energy and coherence, from a microsystem is the result
of coupling to a much larger macrosystem (or reservoir) that is so large that one has no …

The power spectrum of the light scattered by a two-level atom driven near resonance by a
monochromatic classical electric field is evaluated. The atom is assumed to relax to …

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are spatially confined electromagnetic field modes at a
metal-dielectric interface capable of generating intense near-field optical forces on ultrafast …
