QF3E.1 • 13:30<br />

Logarithmically Diverging Two-photon Spectrum:<br />

Anomalous Scale Symmetry Breaking in<br />

Two Dimensions, Nir Davidson 1 , Rami Pugatch 1 ,<br />

Dipankar Bhattacharyya 1 , Yoav Sagi 1 , Ariel<br />

Amir 1 ; 1 Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. For<br />

small area beams, the two-photon spectra of atoms<br />

diffusing in hot buffer gas approaches a universal,<br />

logarithmically-diverging shape, connected to<br />

anomalous scale symmetry breaking of with a<br />

delta-function potential.<br />

QF3E.2 • 13:45<br />

Interplay of χ(3) and χ(3) processes in a doubleladder<br />

system, Paul S. Hsu 1,2 , George R. Welch 2 ,<br />

James R. Gord 3 , Anil K. Patnaik 3,4 ; 1 Spectral Energies,<br />

LLC, USA; 2 Physics, Texas A&M University,<br />

USA; 3 Air Force Research Laboratory, USA; 4 Physics,<br />

Wright State University, USA. The interplay of<br />

χ(1) and χ(3) processes in a double-ladder system<br />

is investigated to demonstrate controllability<br />

of cross-talk between two probes propagating<br />

through the medium.<br />

QF3E.3 • 14:00<br />

Generation of a macroscopic singlet state in<br />

an atomic ensemble, Naeimeh Behbood 1 , Mario<br />

Napolitano 1 , Giorgio Colangelo 1 , Brice Dobust 1,2 ,<br />

Silvana Palacios Á lvarez 1 , Robert Sewell 1 , Geza<br />

Tóth 3 , Morgan W. Mitchell 1 ; 1 ICFO-The Institute<br />

of Photonic Sciences, Spain; 2 Univ Paris Diderot,<br />

Sorbonne Paris Cite, Laboratoire Materiaux et Phenomenes<br />

Quantiques, France; 3 Theoretical Physics<br />

and History of Science, The University of the Basque<br />

Country, Spain. We report on an experiment for<br />

generating singlet states in a cold atomic ensemble.<br />

We use quantum non-demolition measurement<br />

and feedback control to produce a macroscopic<br />

spin state with total spin zero and reduced spin<br />

fluctuations.<br />

QF3F.1 • 13:30<br />

Four-Photon Polarization-Entangled States<br />

with Minimal Spectral and Spatial Entanglement,<br />

Warren Grice 1,3 , Jason Schaake 3 , Travis<br />

Humble 2 ; 1 Computational Sciences and Engineering,<br />

Oak Ridge National Lab, USA; 2 Computer<br />

Science and Mathematics, Oak Ridge National<br />

Lab, USA; 3 Physics and Astronomy, University of<br />

Tennessee, USA. We present two schemes for<br />

generating four-photon states: one for direct GHZ<br />

state generation and another yielding an entire<br />

class of polarization-entangled states. Both begin<br />

with photon pairs having minimal spectral and<br />

spatial entanglement.<br />

QF3F.2 • 13:45<br />

Quantum state tomography using photon number<br />

counting to evaluate entanglement generated<br />

by spontaneous parametric downconversion,<br />

Akio Yoshizawa 1 , Daiji Fukuda 1 , Hidemi Tsuchida<br />

1 ; 1 National Institute of Advanced Industrial<br />

Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. We analyze<br />

polarization-entangled photon pairs using detectors<br />

that can or cannot count photons to discuss<br />

accuracy of the fidelity estimated by quantum state<br />

tomography. The use of four photon-numberresolving<br />

detectors presents best accuracy.<br />

QF3F.3 • 14:00<br />

Polarization/Time-bin basis conversion of entangled<br />

photons, Jonathan Hodges 1 , Stephen Pappas<br />

1 , Yaakov Weinstein 1 , Gerry Gilbert 1 ; 1 MITRE<br />

Corp, USA. We describe a scheme for interconverting<br />

photonic entanglement between time-bin and<br />

polarization bases. This scheme makes entangled<br />

pairs insensitive to birefringement effects and thus<br />

has application in fiber-based quantum memories.<br />

QF3G.1 • 13:30 Invited<br />

Photon Extrabunching in Twin Beams Beams<br />

in the Femtosecond Range Measured by Two-<br />

Photon Counting in a Semiconductor, Fabien<br />

Boitier 1 , Antoine Godard 1 , Nicolas Dubreuil 2 ,<br />

Philippe Delaye 2 , Claude Fabre 3 , Emmanuel<br />

Rosencher 1,4 ; 1 ONERA - the French Aerospace<br />

Lab, France; 2 Laboratoire Charles Fabry (Institut<br />

d’Optique, CNRS, Univ Paris-Sud, France; 3 Laboratoire<br />

Kastler Brossel, Ecole Normale Supérieure and<br />

University Pierre et Marie Curie, France; 4 Physics<br />

Department, Ecole Polytechnique, France. Correlations<br />

of twin beams generated by parametric<br />

down-conversion are quantitatively determined by<br />

two-photon counting interferometery. Compared<br />

with incoherent light, photon extrabunching at the<br />

fs scale is unambiguously and precisely measured.<br />

QF3G.2 • 14:00<br />

Generation of Terahertz Pulses by Mixing<br />

Dual-Frequency Pulses from Yb:YAG Laser,<br />

Pu Zhao 1 , Srinivasa Ragam 1 , Yujie J. Ding 1 , Ioulia<br />

B. Zotova 2 ; 1 Electrical & Computer Engineering,<br />

Lehigh University, USA; 2 ArkLight, USA. We have<br />

demonstrated that terahertz pulses at 1.65 THz<br />

can be generated by mixing dual-frequency pulses<br />

emitted from a compact broadband Q-switched<br />

Yb:YAG laser.<br />

QF3E.4 • 14:15<br />

Enhancement of electromagnetically-induced<br />

transparency in a multilevel broadened medium,<br />

Michael Scherman 1 , Oxana S. Mishina 1 ,<br />

Pietro Lombardi 1 , Elisabeth Giacobino 1 , Julien<br />

Laurat 1 ; 1 Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, France. We<br />

experimentally demonstrate that electromagnetically-induced<br />

transparency in a vapor of<br />

alkali-metal atoms can be strongly enhanced via a<br />

specific shaping of the atomic velocity distribution.<br />

QF3F.4 • 14:15<br />

Direct measurements of the non-classicality<br />

degree in photon-number correlations, Liat<br />

Dovrat 1 , Michael Bakstein 1 , Daniel Istrati 1 , Eli<br />

Megidish 1 , Assaf Halevy 1 , Lior Cohen 1 , Hagai<br />

S. Eisenberg 1 ; 1 Racah Institute of Physics, The<br />

Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. Using<br />

photon-number resolving detectors, we directly<br />

measure the two-mode photon-number distribution<br />

of parametric down-conversion for different<br />

degrees of correlation. We present two quantitative<br />

measures for the degree of non-classicality.<br />

QF3G.3 • 14:15<br />

Triple resonant four-wave mixing: A microwatt<br />

continuous-wave laser source in the vacuum<br />

ultraviolet region at 120 nm, Daniel Kolbe 1,2 ,<br />

Thomas Diehl 1,2 , Andreas Koglbauer 1,2 , Matthias<br />

Sattler 1,2 , Matthias Stappel 1,2 , Ruth Steinborn 1,2 ,<br />

Jochen Walz 1,2 ; 1 Institut für Physik, Johannes<br />

Gutenberg-Universität, Germany; 2 Helmholtz Institut,<br />

Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, Germany.<br />

We present a vacuum ultraviolet laser source by<br />

four-wave mixing in mercury vapour based on<br />

solid-state laser systems. Maximum powers of 6<br />

µW were achieved with an increase of four orders<br />

of magnitude in efficiency.<br />
