We present here a quantum Carnot engine in which the atoms in the heat bath are given a small bit of quantum coherence. The induced quantum coherence becomes vanishingly small in the high-temperature… Expand
Quantum eraser: A proposed photon correlation experiment concerning observation and
We propose and analyze an experiment designed to probe the extent to which information accessible to an observer and the "eraser" of this information affects measured results. The proposed experiment… Expand
Collective lamb shift in single photon Dicke superradiance.
- M. Scully
- Physics, Medicine
- Physical review letters
- 6 April 2009
The collective Lamb shift and associated radiative decay of a large cloud of radius R containing N atoms uniformly excited by one photon of wavelength lambda is analyzed. It is shown that the time… Expand
The ring laser gyro

This paper presents a review of both active and passive ring laser devices. The operating principles of the ring laser are developed and discussed, with special emphasis given to the problems… Expand
Directed spontaneous emission from an extended ensemble of N atoms: timing is everything.

- Physics, Medicine
- Physical review letters
- 13 January 2006
A collection of static atoms is fixed in a crystal at a low temperature and prepared by a pulse of incident radiation of wave vector . The atoms are well described by an entangled Dicke-like state,… Expand
ULTRASLOW GROUP VELOCITY AND ENHANCED NONLINEAR OPTICAL EFFECTS IN A COHERENTLY DRIVEN HOT ATOMIC GAS
- M. Kash, Vladimir A.Sautenkov, +6 authors M. Scully
- Physics
- 7 April 1999
We report the observation of small group velocities of order 90 meters per second, and large group delays of greater than 0.26 ms, in an optically dense hot rubidium gas (≈ 360 K). Media of this kind… Expand
Quantum heat engine power can be increased by noise-induced coherence
