Control of Quantum Systems SeminarSpeaker: Prof. Irina Novikova, Department of Physics, College of William & Mary Title: Optimal quantum memory with atomic ensembles Abstract: Efficient and reliable quantum communication will require the control of individual photons. As a step toward this objective, we have demonstrated promising techniques that involve using a dynamic form of electromagnetically induced transparency to optimally and reversibly map arbitrary pulses of light onto an ensemble of warm Rubidium atoms. Our techniques, demonstrated in atomic vapor, are applicable to a wide range of systems and protocols. For more information, please contact:
