Circular Rydberg atoms are used as quantum non-demolition sensors or as single photon emitter/absorber actuators. The quantum nature of these actuators matches the correction of single-photon quantum jumps due to relaxation. The flexibility of this method is suited to the generation of arbitrary sequences of Fock states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-08T14:09:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Pq", "03.67.Pp", "42.50.Dv" ], "keywords": [ "fock state", "single photon corrections", "single photon emitter/absorber actuators", "reverses decoherence-induced quantum jumps" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2012, "month": "Jun", "volume": 108, "number": 24, "pages": 243602 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvL.108x3602Z" } } }
