International Conference on Laser Spectroscopy in Japan

The 19th ICOLS conference takes place June 8-12 in Hokkaido, Japan, with CUA representation. Vladan Vuletic will report on a joint MIT-Harvard CUA experiment with Mikhail Lukin on switching of light with light using pulses containing only a few hundred photons. For a readable explanation of how to make light interact with light see the APS Viewpoint story “Optical switching with cold atoms” http://physics.aps.org/viewpoint-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.203902
