Assistant Professor of Physics Mikhail D. Lukin and Harvard graduate students Michal Bajcsy, Axel P. André and Alexander S. Zibrov, made history when they halted a light pulse for 10 milliseconds...
...Lene V. Hau, McKay professor of applied physics, supervised an experiment that slowed light to about 40 m.p.h. In 2001, a team led by Lukin and Ronald Walsworth of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and independently, a team led by Hau, stopped a light pulse by storing it in the form of excited atoms to be converted back into a light pulse...
...What we have done this year is to actually store the light pulse in electromagnetic form, to actually store the light as light,” Lukin says...
...Lukin and his team’s work has significant implications for information processing and quantum communication...
André, who published a theoretical proposal for the experiment with Lukin last year, said he was happy with the results...
