Coherent optical control of qubits in single quantum dots shows that rotation of a single qubit can be achieved with multiple phase-locked pulses. Two pulses with well-defined pulse areas (/spl sim//spl pi//2) are phase-adjusted to rotate the qubit between |0> and |1>.

Hardy's paradox, previously unamenable to direct experimental test, brings to light some of the striking difficulties in the interpretation of indirect quantum measurements. Using a newly developed 'photon switch,' we implement this proposal.

We describe a high-fidelity approach to linear optics quantum computing in which the quantum logic operations always produce an output. A method for generating the required entangled states is also described.

We will discuss the transport of optical waves in complex photonic systems. In particular we will go into the possibilities of tuning complex optical devices via liquid crystal infiltration. Tuning of ordered systems like photonic bandgap crystals is being exploited in various ways. We will discuss the possibilities that disordered dielectrics offer. As a special example we will discuss the tunable random laser.

The properties of beam propagation in a periodically-curved optical waveguide beyond the usual perturbative approach are theoretically studied. The existence of unusual and exotic effects, such as dynamic beam splitting, dynamic directional coupling, and reduction of radiation losses are also shown. These unusual and exotic effects are fully similar to the phenomena of dynamic wave function stabilization, ionization quenching and wavepacket dichotomy encountered in multiphoton radiation-matter processes with super-intense and high-frequency laser fields.

Doubly phase-matched cascaded four-wave mixing in tapered fibers is demonstrated using femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses. The first stage of this cascade involves phase-matched third-harmonic generation. At the second stage, the third harmonic and fundamental radiation generate new spectral components through phase-matched parametric wave mixing.

Considering the symmetry of the third-order susceptibility tensor elements for semiconductor heterostructures results in 8 independent elements for [001] growth. Nonlinear refraction coefficients are derived and the change in dimensionality with intermixing is discussed.

Ultrafast dynamics of electron relaxation in a nanometallic particle has been the subject of many studies in the past ten years. New and partially unexplained behaviours have been observed experimentally by different groups. In this paper we show that by introducing a decay channel not taken into account so far, it is possible to interpret the size and fluence dependence of the decay time observed experimentally.
