Description
Cold atoms have emerged as ideal quantum system to study coherent
transport properties of light. First experiments have established that
dilute samples with large optical thickness allow studying weak
localization of light.
The present goal of this research is to study coherent transport of
photons in dense samples. Anderson localization of light or superradiance
are among the most interesting situation currently studied.
The transition from coherent to incoherent transport is also studied,
leading to investigations on anomalous diffusion (Levy flights) or random
lasing (in the presence of strong pumping).
Many of these aspects will be discussed and illustrated with recent
experimental observations.
