Abstract: A quantum-optical transistor Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a quantum interference phenomenon that enables the transmission of a laser pulse through an optically dense medium to be manipulated by means of a control beam. Mücke et al. have scaled the technique down to just a single atom interacting with single photons, able to act as a quantum-optical transistor with the ability to coherently control the transmission of light through a cavity. This may lead to novel quantum applications, such as dynamic control of the photon statistics of propagating light fields in computers and other devices.
