We discuss two-photon correlations from the side peaks that are formed when a two-level system emitter is driven coherently, with a detuning between the driving source and the emitter (quasi-resonance fluorescence). We do so in the context…
Femtosecond coherent multidimensional spectroscopy is demonstrated for an ultracold gas. For this, a setup for phase modulation spectroscopy is used to probe the $3^2\mathrm{S}_{1/2} - 2^2\mathrm{P}_{1/2, 3/2}$ transition in an 800…
The quantum measurement problem still finds no consensus. Nonlocal interferometry provides an unprecedented experimental probe by entangling two photons in the "measurement state" (MS). The experiments show that each photon "measures" the…
