Cooperative and Nonlinear Quantum Optics in Dipolar Systems

实验刚刚达到可以看到单个光量子的真实效应的水平。这项工作将有助于对这些程序的基本理解，重点是非线性效应，并探索从量子信息科学到极低光级工程等领域的潜在应用。量子光学和量子信息科学吸引了物理学学生和公众。这项工作将吸引和培养有才华的学生和博士后在这个活跃的研究领域。特别努力吸引妇女和少数民族进入这些领域。此外，这项工作中研究的许多效应有可能影响量子计算/模拟以及纳米工程的未来应用。

Experiments are just now reaching the level where the true effects of single light quanta can be seen. The work will contribute to the fundamental understanding of these procedures with a focus on nonlinear effects and explore potential applications in fields ranging from quantum information science to extreme low-light level engineering. Quantum optics and quantum information science appeals to both physics students and the general public. This work will attract and train talented students and postdocs in this active area of research. Particular effort is made to attract women and minorities to those fields. In addition, many of the effects studied in this work have the potential to impact future applications of quantum computing/simulation as well as nano-engineering.
