Abstract

This study presents experimental results on quantum interference phenomena observed in gamma-optics for the first time. The idea is to employ the interference phenomena typical for electromagnetically induced transparency found in quantum optics.

Quantum interference effects of γ radiation under crossing-anticrossing of nuclear levels in an RF field

Sh. Sh. Bashkirov, V. Yu. Lyubimov, E. A. Popov +2 more

The quantum interference effects occurring in resonant scattering of a γ photon in the multilevel γ-optical medium 57 Fe, affected by an external RF field, have been theoretically investigated. It is shown that a significant reconstruction of the hyperfine structure of nuclear states leads to the interference of partial forwardscattering amplitudes of a γ photon and, therefore, to a significant change in the nuclear refractive index of the γ-optical medium, depending on the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the external RF field. The conditions are found under which the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency can be observed in the technique of in-phase detection of γ photons.

After introducing some basic definitions, the article describes several optical interference experiments in which quantum effects appear. An analysis of these experiments leads to some new and improved measurement techniques and to a better understanding of the quantum state.

Deterministic control of all-optical analogue to electromagnetically induced transparency in coherently-coupled silicon photonic crystal cavities

Xiaodong Yang, Mingbin Yu, Dim‐Lee Kwong +1 more

Quantum coherence in atomic systems has led to fascinating outcomes, such as laser cooling and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensates, and electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT). In EIT, the sharp cancellation of medium absorption has led to phenomena such as lasing without inversion, freezing light, and dynamic storage of light in a solid-state system. Similar to atomic systems, EIT-like effects can be observed through classical and optical means. Here we report the first experimental deterministic tuning of all-optical analogue to EIT in coherently-coupled standing-wave photonic crystal cavities. Our observations include transparency-resonance lifetimes more than three times the single loaded cavity, Fano-type lineshapes, and stepwise control of the coherent cavity-cavity interference. Our system, with wavelength-scale localization and coupled to a single waveguide, is analyzed well through the coupled-mode formalism which examines the delay in both transparency- and Fano-like lineshapes. Our observations support applications towards all-optical trapping, stopping and time-reversal of light in a solid-state scalable implementation.

Suppression ofγ-photon absorption via quantum interference

We show that the interference effects (similar to electromagnetically induced transparency, which was widely studied earlier in electronic transitions in optics) may appear in γ-radiation at nuclear transitions under the condition of nuclear level anticrossing. We demonstrate it also experimentally in optically thin samples of FeCO3.

In earlier experiments on induced coherence without induced emission1, interference was demonstrated to be closely related to the indistinguishability of the photon path.
