Informazioni sugli autori

Professor Rempe conducts experiments in the research fields of atom interferometry, Bose-Einstein condensation, cavity quantum electrodynamics, quantum information processing, and, most recently, cold dipolar molecules.

Professor Scully works in the area of theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics. His current interests include quantum coherence, Bose Einstein condensation, quantum informatics, and foundations of quantum mechanics.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Volume 53 of the Advances Series contains twelve contributions, covering a diversity of subject areas in atomic, molecular and optical physics. The article by Aichele et al. focuses on single-photon generation using self-assembled single quantum dots. Hellmuth examines new applications and methods of Spatial imaging based on wavefront coding and optical coherence tomography. Kocharovsky et al., review the phenomenon of equilibrium fluctuations in the number of Bose Einstein condensed atoms in a trap containing N atoms total. Leuchs et al., review the underlying mathematical formalism, the physical implications of the quantum properties of multimode optical amplifiers without restriction of a minimum number of modes being involved. In addition they relate this to the phenomenological models for various amplifiers. Madroñero, et al. examines quantum chaos and control in quantum optics via tailoring complexity. Meschede and Rauschenbeutel summarize the experimental methods and findings associated with the preparation, detection, and manipulation of trapped individual neutral atoms. Meieser et al, discuss the quantum optics of ultra-cold molecules. Specifically they use an analogy of the micromaser to analyze ultra cold molecules in a double well structure; study the formation and disassociation dynamics of molecules using the passage of time statistics familiar from supperradiance and superfluorescence studies; and show how molecules can be used to probe higher-order correlations in ultracold atomic gases, in particular bunching and antibunching. Raithel discusses atom manipulation in optical lattices. Reif reviews the fundamentals of interaction between intensive laser pulses and solid surfaces by placing emphasis on the action of ultra-short pulses so that the secondary effects (e.g., heating of the ablation plasma plume by inverse bremsstrahlung) may be distinguished from the relevant phenomena. Rempe and Legero characterize single photons using two-photon interference. Schleich presents kernel representations of the Wigner function. Woeste et al., discuss LIDAR-monitoring of the air with femtosecond plasma channels.|Volume 53 of the Advances Series contains twelve contributions, covering a diversity of subject areas in atomic, molecular and optical physics.
