Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in three-level systems uses a strong control laser on one transition to modify the absorption of a weak probe laser on a second transition. The control laser creates dressed states whose decay…

We define correlational (von Neumann) entropy for an individual quantum state of a system whose time-independent hamiltonian contains random parameters and is treated as a member of a statistical ensemble. This entropy is representation…
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…
The fidelity of the gate operation and the coherence time of neutral atoms trapped in an optical dipole trap are figures of merit for the applications. The motion of the trapped atom is one of the key factors which influence the gate…
