Information storage and retrieval from a single atom
Carlos R. Stroud · Nonlinear Optics '98. Materials, Fundamentals and Applications Topical Meeting (Cat. No.98CH36244) · 2002
High order nonlinear processes can occur with corresponding high harmonic generation and stabilization of the highly excited states against ionization. We will review these phenomena that were described in a paper recently published, and discuss possible applications. An even more intriguing possible application of the unique nature of these atomic states is the possibility of information storage and perhaps even quantum computing within one atom.
