Revision as of 15:29, 4 January 2024

Si l’on mettait d’un côté ce qu’il a ingurgité durant sa vie et de l’autre ce qu’il a rendu par le haut et par le bas, cela ferait deux énormes tas. C’est ainsi qu’il se présentera un jour devant Dieu, avec ses deux tas, l’un à sa droite, l’autre à sa gauche.

Papers to read

From 31 December (2023) onward, I'm starting the new "tradition" of keeping track of the papers I need to read. By "read" I mean, really, "study" in some depth (skimming through a paper is the lot of the researcher), and typically record a summary and/or thoughts/comments on the work itself (which can be accessed by clicking on the title).

  1. Turning a molecule into a coherent two-level quantum system . D. Wang, H. Kelkar, D. Martin-Cano, D. Rattenbacher, A. Shkarin, T. Utikal, S. Götzinger and V. Sandoghdar in Nature Phys. 15:483 (2019). Since 14:57 on 31 December (2023) for its fundamental and extremely clean characterization of a 2LS.
  2. Photon Bunching in Cathodoluminescence. S. Meuret, L. Ti, N. T. Cazima, N. R. Bourrell, N. H. C., A. F. Treu and A. M. Kociak in Phys. Rev. Lett. 114:197401 (2015). Since 16:01 on 31 December (2023), for their $1/N$ analysis of the antibunching of $N$ emitters.
  3. Photophysics of quantum emitters in hexagonal boron-nitride nano-flakes. M. K. Boll, I. P. Radko, A. Huck and U. L. Andersen in Opt. Express 28:7475 (2020). Since 16:02 on 31 December (2023) for their flat $g^{(2)}(\tau)$ (see Fig. 3).
  4. Stable Solid-State Source of Single Photons. C. Kurtsiefer, S. Mayer, P. Zarda and H. Weinfurter in Phys. Rev. Lett. 85:290 (2000). Since 16:07 on 31 December (2023). GreenTick.png19:00 on 31 December (2023)
  5. Limitations on Practical Quantum Cryptography. G. Brassard, N. Lütkenhaus, T. Mor and B. C. Sanders in Phys. Rev. Lett. 85:1330 (2000). Since 16:17 on 31 December (2023) for SPDC being better than weak laser pulses (I'm interested in general in how weak laser pulses are useless SPS for QIP).
  6. Photophysics of single silicon vacancy centers in diamond: implications for single photon emission. E. Neu, M. Agio and C. Becher in Opt. Express 20:19956 (2012). Since 19:26 on 31 December (2023) for further details on shelving dynamics on $g^{(2)}$.
  7. Electrically driven photon antibunching from a single molecule at room temperature. M. Nothaft, S. Höhla, F. Jelezko, N. Frühauf, J. Pflaum and J. Wrachtrup in Nature Comm. 3:628 (2012). Since 19:28 on 31 December (2023) for further details their model for $g^{(2)}$.
  8. Multiple time scale blinking in InAs quantum dot single-photon sources. M. Davanço, C. S. Hellberg, S. Ates, A. Badolato and K. Srinivasan in Phys. Rev. B 89:161303 (2014). Since 19:31 on 31 December (2023) for details on their very elaborate rate-equation description of $g^{(2)}$.
  9. Photophysics of single nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond nanocrystals. M. Berthel, O. Mollet, G. Dantelle, T. Gacoin, S. Huant and A. Drezet in Phys. Rev. B 91:035308 (2015). Since 19:41 on 31 December (2023) for further details their model for $g^{(2)}$.
  10. Probabilité des jugements en matière criminelle et en matière civile, précédées des règles générales du calcul des probabilités, S. Poisson, Paris, France: Bachelier (1837). Since 18:29 on 1 January (2024) ‒ classic.
  11. Correlations in light emitted by three-level atoms. D. T. Pegg, R. Loudon and P. L. Knight in Phys. Rev. A 33:4085 (1986). for their quantum model producing bunching elbows Since 19:43 on 1 January (2024).
  12. Single germanium vacancy centers in nanodiamonds with bulk-like spectral stability. M. Nahra, D. Alshamaa, R. Deturche, V. Davydov, L. Kulikova, V. Agafonov and C. Couteau in AVS Quantum Sci. 3:012001 (2021). Since 20:02 on 1 January (2024) for their shelving model.

  15. Is the Moon There When Nobody Looks? Reality and the Quantum Theory. N. D. Mermin in Physics Today 38:38 (1985). Since 10:25 on 2 January (2024) The polished version of the above (with a cameo by Feynman). GreenTick.png12:58 on 2 January (2024)
  16. What is quantum mechanics trying to tell us?. N. D. Mermin in Am. J. Phys. 66:753 (1998). Since 10:27 on 2 January (2024).
  17. The Quantum Theory and Reality. B. D'Espagnat in Sci. Am. 241:158 (1979). Since 13:20 on 2 January (2024) for being the inspiration of the above!

  20. Template:Peres00a Since 15:29 on 4 January (2024) especially since this Part II is self-contained! This relates EPR to Lorentz frames, something I've always worried about.
