Coherent Diffusion of Polaritons in Atomic Media

Quantum Physics 2013-10-21 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

Coherent diffusion pertains to the motion of atomic dipoles experiencing frequent collisions in vapor while maintaining their coherence. Recent theoretical and experimental studies on the effect of coherent diffusion on key Raman processes, namely Raman spectroscopy, slow polariton propagation, and stored light, are reviewed in this Colloquium.
