Storage and Retrieval of Thermal Light in Warm Atomic Vapor
We report slowed propagation and storage and retrieval of thermal light in
warm rubidium vapor using the effect of electromagnetically-induced
transparency (EIT). We first demonstrate slowed-propagation of the probe
thermal light beam through an EIT medium by measuring the second-order
correlation function of the light field using the Hanbury-BrownTwiss
interferometer. We also report an experimental study on the effect of the EIT
slow-light medium on the temporal coherence of thermal light. Finally, we
demonstrate the storage and retrieval of thermal light beam in the EIT medium.
The direct measurement of the photon number statistics of the retrieved light
field shows that the photon number statistics is preserved during the storage
and retrieval process.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Effects of depolarizing quantum channels on BB84 and SARG04 quantum cryptography protocols
We report experimental studies on the effect of the depolarizing quantum
channel on weak-pulse BB84 and SARG04 quantum cryptography. The experimental
results show that, in real world conditions in which channel depolarization
cannot be ignored, BB84 should perform better than SARG04.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Hybrid Spam Filtering for Mobile Communication
Spam messages are an increasing threat to mobile communication. Several
mitigation techniques have been proposed, including white and black listing,
challenge-response and content-based filtering. However, none are perfect and
it makes sense to use a combination rather than just one. We propose an
anti-spam framework based on the hybrid of content-based filtering and
challenge-response. There is the trade-offs between accuracy of anti-spam
classifiers and the communication overhead. Experimental results show how,
depending on the proportion of spam messages, different filtering %%@
parameters should be set.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl
