We report our experiment on sideband cooling with two Raman transitions in a $\Lambda$ configuration that allows selective coherent population trapping (CPT) of the motional ground state. The cooling method is applied to $^{87}$Rb atoms in…
We observe coherent population trapping (CPT) in a two-electron atom---$^{174}$Yb---using the $\rm {^1S_0,F=0} \rightarrow {^3P_1,F'=1}$ transition. CPT is not possible for such a transition according to one-electron theory because the…

Coherent population trapping is shown to occur in a driven symmetric double-well potential in the strong-field regime. The system parameters have been chosen to reproduce the $0^{-}\leftrightarrow 3^{+}$ transition of the inversion mode of…
Electromagnetically induced transparency and coherent population trapping were observed in a hot (1000 K) calcium vapor embedded into an electrical gas discharge. Unexpectedly large transparencies (of up to 70%) were observed under very…
We study the transmission through different small systems as a function of the coupling strength $v$ to the two attached leads. The leads are identical with only one propagating mode $\xi^E_C$ in each of them. Besides the conductance $G$,…

We developed a method based on crossed polarizers to observe high-contrast coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance. Since crossed polarizers have a simple optical system, our method is suitable for chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs). We…
Important distinctions are made between two related wave control mechanisms that act to spatially separate frequency components; these so-called rainbow mechanisms either slow or reverse guided waves propagating along a graded line array.…

Resonance trapping appears in open many-particle quantum systems at high level density when the coupling to the continuum of decay channels reaches a critical strength. Here a reorganization of the system takes place and a separation of…
