Title: Observation of stochastic resonance in directed propagation of cold atoms
Authors: Alexander Staron, Kefeng Jiang, Casey Scoggins, Daniel Wingert, David Cubero, Samir Bali,
Abstract summary: Randomly diffusing atoms confined in a dissipative optical lattice are illuminated by a weak probe of light. The probe transmission spectrum reveals directed atomic propagation that occurs to the direction of probe beam propagation. We experimentally characterize how the probe-excited atomic density waves and optical pumping rates conspire to create directed atomic propagation within a randomly diffusing sample.

Abstract: Randomly diffusing atoms confined in a dissipative optical lattice are illuminated by a weak probe of light. The probe transmission spectrum reveals directed atomic propagation that occurs perpendicular to the direction of probe beam propagation. Resonant enhancement of this directed propagation is observed as we vary the random photon scattering rate. We experimentally characterize this stochastic resonance as a function of probe intensity and lattice well depth. A simple model reveals how the probe-excited atomic density waves and optical pumping rates conspire to create directed atomic propagation within a randomly diffusing sample.

Coherent and incoherent light scattering by single-atom wavepackets [0.5277756703318045]
We study light scattering of single atoms in free space and discuss the results in terms of atom-photon entanglement and which-way information. Using ultracold atoms released from an optical lattice, we realize a Gedanken experiment which interferes single photons scattering off of Heisenberg uncertainty-limited wavepackets.

Direct experimental observation of sub-poissonian photon statistics by means of multi-photon scattering on a two-level system [0.0]
A cascade of two-level superconducting artificial atoms -- a source and a probe -- strongly coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide is a promising tool for observing nontrivial phenomena in quantum nonlinear optics. We experimentally demonstrate wave mixing between nonclassical light from the coherently cw-pumped source and another coherent wave acting on the probe.

Controlled excitation of rotons in superfluid helium with an optical centrifuge [77.34726150561087]
We show that the orientation of the angular momentum transferred from the laser field to the rotons, is dictated by the centrifuge. The observed decay of the coherent Raman signal suggests that the decoherence is governed by the scattering on thermal rotons and phonons.

Wave function of a photon produced in the resonant scattering of twisted light by relativistic ions [0.0]
We investigate the resonant elastic scattering of twisted light, carrying angular momentum, by partially stripped ions. For the incident Bessel light, the scattered radiation is shown to be in a superposition of twisted modes. This angular momentum transfer makes the resonant photon scattering an effective tool for the production of twisted x-- and even gamma--rays.

Tunable Anderson Localization of Dark States [146.2730735143614]
We experimentally study Anderson localization in a superconducting waveguide quantum electrodynamics system. We observe an exponential suppression of the transmission coefficient in the vicinity of its subradiant dark modes. The experiment opens the door to the study of various localization phenomena on a new platform.

Bragg condition for scattering into a guided optical mode [0.0]
We show that the scattering of a plane wave laser field into the waveguide modes is dramatically enhanced for angles that deviate from the geometric Bragg angle. We derive a modified Bragg condition, and show that it arises from the dispersive interactions between the guided light and the atoms.

Subradiance in dilute atomic ensembles: Role of pairs and multiple scattering [0.0]
We study the slow (subradiant) decay of the fluorescence of motionless atoms after a weak pulsed excitation. We show that, in the linear-optics regime, the slow decay rate can be dominated by close pairs of atoms forming superradiant and subradiant states. For a large-enough resonant optical depth and at later time, the dynamics is dominated by collective many-body effects.
