Recently, two groups reported their progresses in manipulating ultrahigh Q cavities.
Ivan S. Grudinin et al. demonstrated a record quality factor of (6.3 pm 0.8) times 10^10 in crystalline whispering gallery mode resonator, corresponding to cavity ring-down time of tau approx 36 {mu}s. They found for a 100 {mu}m LiNbO3 cavity, a single photon would shift the cavity resonance by as much as 6 Hz. Such shift could be detected with optical techniques. This allows the quantum nondemoliion measurement for the number of photons in a cavity. I hope the shift can be enlarged in future. If the shift is large enough, this resonator may be used as a device to entangle photon qubits.
S. Kuhr et al. built a Fabry-Perot supeconducting resonator with quality factor Q = 4.2 times 10^10 and finesse 4.6time 10^9. The demping time T_c of the cavity is as long as 130 ms at resonante frequency 51 GHz and temperature 0.8 K. In previous experiments, T_c was limited to 1 ms. The field damping time of their cavity is 100 times longer than previous ones. I think this microwave F-P resonator is very powerful for realizing quantum information processes. The coupling strength g between atom and cavity is about 310 kHz, which is 4 orders larger than cavity decay rate. As I discussed before, realizing a entangling gate in this system only requires time of 1.7/g, and realizing a nearly perfect controlled-Z gate only needs 3.4/g.. Therefore, the effects of cavity damping can be neglected. Besides, for Rydberg atoms with quantum number 51 and 50, the spontaneous emission rate is of the order 10^2 which is 3 orders lower than time needed in quantum processes. Therefore, a almost perfect quantum logic gate (with fidelity larger than 0.99) may be realized in this cavity.

你觉得”声学激光”有哪些可能应用呢?
我早就观察到这个现象了,觉得挺有趣的
可惜导师觉得没意义,叫我不要浪费时间:(

我觉得如果声学激光能够导出来,在固体中传播,也许有用。比如探测固体内部的缺陷什么的。但是它能够在固体中保持多久的相干性,这就难说了。如果无法维持相干性,与普通的噪声没有区别。这个实验根本就没有输出,所以也就是一个演示而已。
