We show that it is not possible to discriminate two close transparencies without a certain number of photons being absorbed. We extend this to the discrimination of patterns of transparency (images).
Two-dimensional spectroscopy is discussed for open quantum systems with multiple simultaneously measurable fluxes. In particular, we discuss a junction where optical measurements of photon flux are complemented with simultaneous transport…

Photoassociation with short laser pulses has been proposed as a technique to create ultracold ground state molecules. A broad-band excitation seems the natural choice to drive the series of excitation and deexcitation steps required to form…
In this article we try to describe the physics of a standard optical interferometer fed by "quantum" photons in terms of primitive, nevertheless accurate formulation. We derive explicit interferene patterns and show how they vary depending…
Mapping equations of motion of the highly exited classical atom in a monochromatic field are generalized for the two-frequency microwave field. Analysis of the obtained equations indicates to the weak sensitivity of the position of the…
The working group on two photon physics concentrated on three main subtopics: modelling the hadronic final state of deep inelastic scattering on a photon; unfolding the deep inelastic scattering data to obtain the photon structure function;…
We describe the resonant interaction of an atom with a strongly focused light beam by expanding the field in multipole waves. For a classical field, or when the field is described by a coherent state, we find that both intensity pattern and…
We demonstrate that a highly excited quantum electromagnetic mode strongly interacting with a single qubit exhibits several distinct resonances in addition to the Bloch-Siegert resonance condition that arises in the interaction with…
We investigate two-frequency photoassociation of a weakly bound molecular state, focusing on a regime where the ac Stark shift is comparable to the halo-state energy. In this "high-intensity" regime, we observe features absent in…
It is shown that a detailed sub microscopic consideration denies the wave-particle duality for both material particles and field particles, such as photons. In the case of particles, their \psi-wave function is interpreted as the particle's…
