چکیده
Quantum formalism of Fraunhofer diffraction is obtained. The state of the diffraction optical field is connected with the state of the incident optical field by a diffraction factor. Based on this formalism, correlations of the diffraction modes are calculated with different kinds of incident optical fields. Influence of correlations of the incident modes on the diffraction pattern is analyzed and an explanation of the ”ghost” diffraction is proposed.

Two classes of observables defined on the configuration space of a particle are quantized, and the effects of the Yang-Mills field are discussed in the context of geometric quantization.

A one-dimensional scattering problem off a δ-shaped potential is solved analytically and the time development of a wave packet is derived from the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The exact and explicit expression of the scattered wave packet supplies us with interesting information about the “time delay” by potential scattering in the asymptotic region. It is demonstrated that a wave packe...

The many-particle spectrum of an isotropic frequency gap medium doped with impurity resonance atoms is studied using the Bethe ansatz technique. The spectrum is shown to contain pairs of quantum correlated “gap excitations” and their heavy bound complexes (“gap solitons”), enabling the propagation of quantum information within the classically forbidden gap. In addition, multi-particle localizat...

The time dependence of nonclassical correlations is investigated for two fields (1, 2) generated by an ensemble of cold Cesium atoms via the protocol of Duan et al. [Nature 414, 413 (2001)]. The correlation function R(t1, t2) for the ratio of cross to auto-correlations for the (1, 2) fields at times (t1, t2) is found to have a maximum value R max = 292±57, which significantly violates the Cauch...
