We use 429 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BABAR detector to measure the radiative transition rate of $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ with a sum of 38 exclusive final states. The inclusive…
We consider photonic tunnelling through evanescent regions and obtain general analytic expressions for the transit (phase) time $\tau$ (in the opaque barrier limit) in order to study the recently proposed ``universality'' property according…
The recombination rate for three identical bosons has been calculated to test the limits of its universal behavior. It has been obtained for several different collision energies and scattering lengths (a) up to 10^5 a.u., giving rates that…
We derive the dominant part of the O(\alpha_s^2) correction to the photon energy spectrum in the inclusive decay B-> X_s+gamma. The detailed knowledge of the spectrum is important for relating the theoretical calculations of the B-> X_s +…
We report an experimental demonstration of single-photon switching in laser-cooled $^{87}$Rb atoms. A resonant probe pulse with an energy per unit area of one photon per $\lambda^2/2\pi$ propagates through the optically thick atoms. Its…
In Poulin and Serpico [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 091101 (2015)] we have recently argued that when the energy of a photon injected in the primordial plasma falls below the pair-production threshold, the universality of the non-thermal photon…
Studies of cold atom collisions and few-body interactions often require the energy dependence of the scattering phase shift, which is usually expressed in terms of an effective-range expansion. We use accurate coupled-channel calculations…
Time-dependent current of the electrons excited in the conduction band after ultrafast interband photogeneration is studied theoretically. The transient photocurrent is calculated for the nonlinear regime of response to a stationary…
In linear optics, photons are scattered in a network through passive optical elements including beamsplitters and phase shifters, leading to many intriguing applications in physics, such as Mach-Zehnder interferometry, Hong-Ou-Mandel…
We derive a unified quantum theory of coherent and incoherent energy transfer between two atoms (donor and acceptor) valid in arbitrary Markovian nanophotonic environments. Our theory predicts a fundamental bound $\eta_{max} =…
In this work, a constant and uniform magnetic field is less than the Schwinger critical value. In turn, an additional constant and uniform electric field is taken much smaller than the magnetic field value. The propagation of a photon in…
Bound electron pairs formed due to the peculiarities of the band dispersion of electrons in crystals attract much interest because they can carry charge and spin even in the absence of band conductivity. However, such an important parameter…
To deploy and operate a quantum network which utilizes existing telecommunications infrastructure, it is necessary to be able to route entangled photons at high speeds, with minimal loss and signal-band noise, and---most…
The coupled system of Boltzman equations for the interacting system of electrons, positrons and photons in high external electric, E, and arbitrary magnetic, H, fields is solved. The consideration is made under the conditions of arbitrary…
We have measured the branching fraction and photon energy spectrum for the radiative penguin process b -> s gamma. We find BR(b -> s gamma) = (3.21 +- 0.43 +- 0.27 +0.18 -0.10) 10^(-4), where the errors are statistical, systematic, and from…
When a well-localized photon is incident on a spatially superposed absorber but is not absorbed, the photon can still deliver energy to the absorber. It is shown that when the transferred energy is small relative to the energy uncertainty…
Experimental bounds on induced vacuum magnetic birefringence can be used to improve present photon-photon scattering limits in the electronvolt energy range. Measurements with the PVLAS apparatus (E. Zavattini {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. D…
The transmission of silicon crystals irradiated by 24 GeV/c protons and reactor neutrons has been measured for photon energies, $E{\gamma}$, between 0.95 and 1.3 eV. From the transmission data the absorption coefficient ${\alpha}$ is…
Light scattering is one of the most established wave phenomena in optics, lying at the heart of light-matter interactions and of crucial importance for nanophotonic applications. Passivity, causality and energy conservation imply strict…
The quantum interaction between free electrons and photons is fundamental to free-electron based light sources and free-electron quantum optics applications. A large coupling between free electrons and photons is generally desired. In this…
