We propose a simple method for measuring the populations and the relative phase in a coherent superposition of two atomic states. The method is based on coupling the two states to a third common (excited) state by means of two laser pulses,…
The state-of-the-art miniature atomic clocks (MACs) are based on the phenomenon of coherent population trapping (CPT) in alkali-metal atomic vapors (Rb or Cs). Increasing frequency stability of the clocks is an urgent issue that will lead…
The coherence between quantum states with different particle numbers --- the Fock-space coherence --- qualitatively differs from the more common Hilbert-space coherence between states with equal particle numbers. For a quantum dot with…
We experimentally investigated the characteristics of two-photon transmission resonances in Rb vapor cells with different amount of buffer gas under the conditions of steady-state coherent population trapping (CPT) and pulsed Raman-Ramsey…
We report an experimental study of near resonance light scattering on the $F = 1 \rightarrow F' = 0$ component of the $D_2$ line in atomic $^{87}Rb$. Experiments are performed on spatially bi-Gaussian ultracold gas samples having peak…
We investigate strong-coupling properties of a trapped two-dimensional normal Fermi gas. Within the framework of a combined $T$-matrix theory with the local density approximation, we calculate the local density of states, as well as the…
We study spontaneous quantum coherence in an out of equilibrium system, coupled to multiple baths describing pumping and decay. For a range of parameters describing coupling to, and occupation of the baths, a stable steady-state condensed…
In any quantum or wave system dissipation leads to decoherence. Therefore, it was surprising in first instance when experiments on strongly lossy random lasers showed unambiguously by measurements of the photon statistics and of the lasing…
New phenomena of collective light scattering are observed when an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate is pumped by two non-interfering beams counterpropagating along its long axis. In the limit of small Rayleigh scattering rates, the…
We report the detection of high-contrast and narrow Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) Ramsey fringes in a Cs vapor cell using a simple-architecture laser system. The latter allows the combination of push-pull optical pumping (PPOP) and a…
We show that in parametrically driven systems and, more generally, in systems in coherent states, off-resonant pumping can cause a transition from a continuum energy spectrum of the system to a discrete one, and result in quantum revivals…
We investigate single-particle properties of a mass-imbalanced Fermi gas in the BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein condensation) crossover region. In the presence of mass imbalance, we point out that the ordinary $T$-matrix…
By studying the fluorescence and optical properties of a three-level system, we propose a new point of view on the coherent control of these spectra. With the definite phase difference between the fields of the air band and dielectric band…
We study a driven-dissipative duo of two-level systems in an open quantum systems approach, modelling a pair of atoms or (more generally) meta-atoms. Allowing for complex-valued couplings in the setup, which are of both a coherent and…
We present a theoretical model for Bragg scattering from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the vicinity of a magnetic Feshbach resonance, using a two c-field formalism, one c-field for the atom and the other for a molecule formed of two…
We present a joint theoretical and experimental characterization of the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance excited on the D1 line of 87Rb atoms by bichromatic linearly polarized laser light. We observe high-contrast transmission…
The paper presents a critical analysis of publications devoted to one of the methods for production of the so-called "slow light" (the light with an anomalously low group velocity) due to extremely high local steepness of the dispersion…
We present a fully electronic analogue of coherent population trapping in quantum optics, based on destructive interference of single-electron tunneling between three quantum dots. A large bias voltage plays the role of the laser…
We study resonance flourescence in a four level ladder system and illustrate some novel features due to quantum interference and atomic coherence effects. We find that under three photon resonant conditions, in some region of the parameter…
Stimulated by the exciting progress in experiments, we carry out a combined analysis of the masses, and strong and radiative decay properties of the $B$ and $B_s$-meson states up to the second orbital excitations. Based on our good…
