In contrast to recent studies [Rabl, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 063601 (2011); Nunnenkamp et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 063602 (2011)] on photon blockade that prevents subsequent photons from resonantly entering the cavity in optomechanical…

The well-known interference pattern of bright and dark fringes was first observed for light beams back in 1801 by Thomas Young. The maximum visibility fringes occur when the irradiance of the two beams is equal, and as the ratio of the beam…

Although the group delay of classical pulses through a barrier may suggest superluminality, the information transfer is limited by the precursor which propagates at the vacuum light speed. Single photons, however, have infinite tails, and…

We examine electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in an ensemble of cold $\Lambda-$type atoms induced by a quantum control field in multi-mode coherent states and compare it with the transparency created by the classical light of…
A broken symmetry is generally believed to be a prerequisite of plasmonic electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), since the asymmetry renders the excitation of the otherwise forbidden dark mode possible. Nevertheless, according to…
Subwavelength aperture arrays in thin metal films can enable enhanced transmission of light and matter (atom) waves. The phenomenon relies on resonant excitation and interference of the plasmon or matter waves on the metal surface. We show…
Several classical analogues of electromagnetically induced transparency in metamaterials have been demonstrated. A simple two-resonator model can describe their absorption spectrum qualitatively, but fails to provide information about the…
