Coherence switching in a four-level system: quantum switching

Dark resonance switching among three-laser interactions in a four-level system is observed by using an enhanced nondegenerate four-wave mixing technique. This coherence switching mechanism is based on simultaneous suppression and enhancement of two-photon absorption and has a novel application to high-speed optical switches.

Quantum entanglement via optical control of atom-atom interactions

Two-photon optical transitions combined with long-range dipole-dipole interactions can be used for the coherent manipulation of multiatom collective states. We show that it is possible to induce optical resonances accompanied by the generation of entangled superpositions of such atomic states. Resonances of this kind can be used to implement quantum logic gates using optically excited single atoms (impurities) in the condensed phase.
