Cover Story: Non-classical and squeezed radiation is one of the most fascinating and impactful developments in quantum optics, with applications to metrology, quantum information, and the detection of gravity waves, among others. The counterintuitive behavior of electronic transitions, driven strongly by squeezed radiation, ranks among the most unexpected phenomena in radiation–matter interaction. The results in this paper open a window into the landscape of such phenomena, resulting from the interplay between non-linearity and quantum fluctuations, which in view of recent technological developments are within experimental reach. Unique features, such as oscillating photon number distributions emanating from the interplay between phase and squeezing parameter, are but a few of the effects discussed. View this paper

  • Ian Henning and
  • Mike Adams

A general model for the dynamics of arrays of coupled spin-polarised lasers is derived. The general model is able to deal with waveguides of any geometry with any number of supported normal modes. A unique feature of the model is that it allows for i...
