Stochastically-induced quantum interference in coherently driven two-level atoms

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica Series B, Quantum Electronics

Abstract

It is shown that stochastic perturbation can create phase correlation in a coherently driven two-level system. This correlation results in a noise-induced interference in the two-level system. One possible manifestation of the described interference is a narrow structure in resonance fluorescence spectra. Theoretical interpretation is well confirmed by preliminary experimental results.
