Strong correlations in light propagation beyond the mean-field theory of optics | | Juha Javanainen

16 Sep 2014 | | Abstract: | We compare propagation of light in a gas of stationary atom as predicted by
the standard electrodynamics of a polarizable medium with the exact numerical
solution. We find that the conventional optics fails even at low atom
densities, and the failure becomes especially dramatic when the average
interatomic separation is reduced to around $lambda/2pi$, where $lambda$
denotes the resonance wavelength of light. The difference between the two
solutions provides an unambiguous signature of the strong correlations between
the atoms induced by light-mediated interactions. | | Source: | arXiv, 1409.4598 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
