A Single-Atom Optical Switch
Quantum scientists over the past two decades have dreamt of realizing powerful new information technologies that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics in their operation. While many approaches are being pursued, a prevailing choice consists of using single atoms and particles of light—single photons—as the fundamental building blocks of these technologies [1]. In this paradigm, one envisions th...
متن کاملFiber-optical switch controlled by a single atom.
We demonstrate highly efficient switching of optical signals between two optical fibers controlled by a single atom. The key element of our experiment is a whispering-gallery-mode bottle microresonator, which is coupled to a single atom and interfaced by two tapered fiber couplers. This system reaches the strong coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics, leading to a vacuum Rabi splitti...
متن کاملSingle atom quantum walk with 1D optical superlattices
A proposal for the implementation of quantum walks using cold atom technology is presented. It consists of one atom trapped in time varying optical superlattices. The required elements are presented in detail including the preparation procedure, the manipulation required for the quantum walk evolution and the final measurement. These procedures can be, in principle, implemented with present tec...
متن کاملA single atom in free space as a quantum aperture
The resonant absorption cross section for a single twostate atom in free space driven by an electromagnetic field of wavelength λ is σ = 3λ/2π [1]. Thus it seems reasonable to assume that a “weak” incident light beam focused onto an area A ∼ σ would experience a loss (as resonance fluorescence) comparable to the incident energy of the beam itself and would, for off-resonant excitation, suffer a...
متن کاملA Novel Stand-Alone Single-Phase Induction Generator Using a Three-Phase Machine and a Single-Phase PWM Inverter
A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one...
