Journal Article

We present an experimental study of seeded four-wave mixing (4WM) using a diamond excitation scheme (with states from the 5S1/2,5P1/2,5P3/25S1/2,5P1/2,5P3/2 and 5D3/25D3/2 terms) in a thermal vapour of 87Rb87Rb atoms. We investigate the 4WM spectra u... Read More about Four-wave mixing in a non-degenerate four-level diamond configuration in the hyperfine Paschen–Back regime.

Single-photon interference due to motion in an atomic collective excitation (2017)
Journal Article
Whiting, D. J., Šibalić, N., Keaveney, J., Adams, C. S., & Hughes, I. G. (2017). Single-photon interference due to motion in an atomic collective excitation. Physical Review Letters, 118(25), Article 253601. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.118.253601

We experimentally demonstrate the generation of heralded bi-chromatic single photons from an atomic collective spin excitation (CSE). The photon arrival times display collective quantum beats, a novel interference effect resulting from the relative m...
