    Spontaneous Generation of Photons in Transmission of Quantum Fields in PT Symmetric Optical Systems

    Full text link
    We develop a rigorous mathematically consistent description of PT symmetric optical systems by using second quantization. We demonstrate the possibility of significant spontaneous generation of photons in PT symmetric systems. Further we show the emergence of Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) correlations in spontaneous generation. We show that the spontaneous generation determines decisively the nonclassical nature of fields in PT symmetric systems. Our work can be applied to other systems like plasmonic structure where losses are compensated by gain mechanisms.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

    Ramsey spectroscopy with squeezed light

    Full text link
    Traditional Ramsey spectroscopy has the frequency resolution 2π/T2\pi/T, where TT is the time separation between two light fields. Using squeezed states and two-atom excitation joint detection, we present a new scheme achieving a higher resolution π/T\pi/T. We use two mode squeezed light which exhibits strong entanglement
