Nonlinear phase shifts of light trapped in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate

Nonlinear phase shifts of light trapped in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate a method for generating nonlinear phase shifts on superpositions of photon number states. The light is stored in a Bose-Einstein condensate via electromagnetically induced transparency memory techniques. The atomic collisions are exploited to generate a nonlinear phase shift of the stored state. The stored light is then revived …
