报告摘要:  

Laser-cooled and trapped cold atomic ensembles can be efficiently interfaced with quantum optical fields, providing a favorable route for the engineering of quantum states in both atoms and photons. Using an optically thick cold atomic ensemble, we demonstrated a quantum inference between single stored atomic coherence and photons. By adjusting the Hermiticity of this beam splitter interface through light field frequency tuning, we observed fermion-like anti-coalescence between these bosonic modes. In another work, we transferred the spatial degree of freedom into the temporal domain of a single photon in such cold atomic ensembles by utilizing the electromagnetically induce transparency (EIT) effect. Combined with spatial single-photon shaping, we achieved spatiotemporal control of a propagation invariant 2+1D Airy single-photon optical bullet. Furthermore, the long coherent time of stored atomic collective excitation in cold atomic ensembles can be applied in metrological applications.
