چکیده

We will present a method of implementation of general projective measurement of two-photon polarization state with the use of linear optics elements only. The scheme presented succeeds with a probability of at least 16 / 1 . For some specific measurements, (e.g. parity measurement) this probability reaches 4 / 1 . PACS number(s): 03.67.-a Recently, Hofmann and Tekeuchi [1] have presented a method of constructing the operator (the so called parity filter) projecting the input state of two photons on a twodimensional subspace of identical horizontal and vertical polarizations. They have achieved the goal with the use of linear optics only. The necessary two-photon interactions have been simulated by detection and post selection process. The restriction to the linear optics is reflected in the probability of success of Hoffman and Takeuchi procedure which is equal to

The construction of a single photon source using gated parametric fluorescence is reported with the measurement results of the photon number distribution. A beamlike twin-photon method is used in order to achieve high collection efficiency. The estimated probability P (1) to find a single photon in a collimated output pulse is 26.5 % at a repetition rate of 10 kHz when the effective quantum eff...

The problems of cavity atom optics in the presence of an external strong coherent field are formulated as the problems of potential scattering of doubly-dressed atomic wave packets. Two types of potentials produced by various multiphoton Raman processes in a high-finesse cavity are examined. As an application the deflection of dressed atomic wave by a cavity mode is investigated. New momentum d...

Generation of arbitrary superposition of vacuum and one-photon states using quantum scissors device (QSD) is studied. The device allows the preparation of states by truncating an input coherent light. Optimum values of the intensity of the coherent light for the generation of any desired state using the experimentally feasible QSD scheme are found.
