Quantum Control of Light through an Atom-Molecule Dark State

Abstract

We propose to use a quantized version of coherent two-color photoassociation to realize a hybrid device for quantum control of light. The dynamical features of this system are exhibited, including the slowing down or storage of light and the molecular matter-wave solitons. This may indicate a hybrid atom-molecule quantum device for storage and retrieve of optical information.Comment: with several detailed derivations in comparison with the published version Phys. Rev.
