    Abstract : This thesis describes investigations of the use of cryogenically cooled rare-earth-ion-doped crystals for quantum information processing and quantum optics. Several aspects of the coherent interaction between light and rare-earth ions in solids are addressed. Quantum information science has given physicists new views of quantum mechanics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Coherent Processes in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Solids

    Author : Andreas Walther; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum memories; laser stabilization; quantum computation; rare-earth-ion-doped crystals; spectral hole-burning; superradiance; entanglement; spectroscopy; slow light;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a number of coherent processes, such as quantum information processing, superradiance and electromagnetically induced transparency, which have been experimentally implemented using rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. The rare-earths are a class of elements that have in common, an atomic structure that allows for very long lifetimes as well as coherence times, both on optical transitions and on spin transitions.
