This project aims to study systems with dipoles, e.g., atoms or molecules with directional nonlinear electric interactions. One goal is to utilize these nonlinear interactions to import them in a true manner between matter (e.g., atoms) and light (photons), and thus to make very low-intensity light nonlinear, to apply, for example to switches or "photonic quantum information." In addition, "superradiance" in dipole matter that allow laser-like phenomena will be studied in very general setups that allow a multitude of systems, ranging from atoms to spins in semiconductors. Four areas of education and outreach will be promoted during this project. (i) Many of the topics attract particular interest from students, and will involve them inside and outside the classroom. (ii) Seminars are regularly organized around the topics. (iii) As a woman, the PI is particularly well placed to attract, and has a history of attracting, specifically female students, and helping them to succeed. (iv) Outreach in undergraduate institutions and through departmental programs for even younger students. These activities will complement efforts to build an active AMO community at the University of Connecticut.

该项目旨在研究具有偶极子的系统，例如，具有方向性非线性电相互作用的原子或分子。一个目标是利用这些非线性相互作用以真实的方式在物质之间导入它们（例如，原子）和光（光子），并因此使非常低强度的光非线性，以应用于例如开关或“光子量子信息”。此外，偶极物质中的“超辐射”允许类似激光的现象，将在非常一般的设置中进行研究，这些设置允许多种系统，从原子到半导体中的自旋。在该项目期间，将促进四个教育和外联领域。(i)许多主题引起了学生的特别兴趣，并将让他们在课堂内外参与其中。(ii)定期围绕这些主题举办研讨会。(iii)作为一名女性，PI特别适合吸引，并且有吸引特别是女学生并帮助她们成功的历史。(iv)在本科院校的推广，并通过部门计划，甚至年轻的学生。这些活动将补充在康涅狄格大学建立一个活跃的AMO社区的努力。
