چکیده

Recently, Ingraham [1] suggested " a delayed-choice experiment with partial , controllable memory erasing ". We shall show that he cannot be right since his predictions contradict relativistic causality. We shall explain a subtle quantum effect which was overlooked by Ingraham. Let us first sketch Ingraham's argument. He considered two atoms located close to each other. The atoms have four relevant levels: the ground state |c and three excited levels, |a, |b, |b ′. The first laser pulse puts the atoms into the superposition 1 √ 2 (|a 1 c 2 + |c 1 a 2). The atom in the state |a immediately 1

Memory-Modulation: Self-Improvement or Self-Depletion?

Autobiographical memory is fundamental to the process of self-construction. Therefore, the possibility of modifying autobiographical memories, in particular with memory-modulation and memory-erasing, is a very important topic both from the theoretical and from the practical point of view. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the state of the art of some of the most promising areas of memory-m...

Information erasing in the phenomenon of long-lived photon echo.

The possibility of erasing information in an arbitrary cell of an optical memory device based on the phenomenon of long-lived photon echo is theoretically considered. Optimal conditions for a maximal number of write-erase cycles in a given cell are obtained, and an experimental setup for observing this effect is proposed.
