摘要:

The atom-photon entanglement is intrinsic to any system interacting with quantized

radiation fields including the electromagnetic vacuum. We show how this intrinsic

property can be used to create atomic coherences as well as atom-atom entanglement. 

Appropriate detection schemes can be developed to generate wide variety of entangled 

states like  EPR, GHZ, W, and Dicke states. The projective measurements can entangle 

systems which have never  interacted and thus one can entangle mesoscopic as well 

as remote systems. The efficiency of optical processes can be enhanced by using 

entangled states for which quantum interferences play a dominant role. 

 

个人简介:

Professor Girish Agarwal specializes in quantum optics and is the author of 

“Quantum Optics” recently published by the Cambridge University Press. 

He currently holds the Noble Foundation Chair and Regents Professorship 

at Oklahoma State University. His work has been recognized by a large 

number of awards, including the Max-Born Prize from the Optical Society of 

America in 1988, the physics prize of the TWAS, the Humboldt Research 

Award (1997) of Germany and Honorary doctorates from the University of 

Liege, Belgium and the University of Hyderabad. He held the Indian 

National Science Academy’s Albert Einstein Research Professorship and 

he was elected fellow of several societies-The Royal Society (UK), 

American Physical Society; Optical Society of America, Indian National 

Science academy, TWAS. He was Director of the Physical Research 

Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India and has served on the editorial boards of 

several journals in Optics and Physics.
