GOD SPEAKS WITH US, BUT THROUGH A VERY NOISE CHANNEL OF INFORMATION

Abstract:
This thesis results from the studies of the consequences of the modifications of atomic radiative processes by nonclassical light, in terms of the resonance fluorescence and probe absorption, which includes the discovery and interpretation of the distinctive spectral features, as well as the investigation of practical scenarios for experimentally observing these anomalous spectra. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped me to make the journey of the last three years very worthwhile indeed. Firstly my most heartfelt thanks must go to my supervisor Professor Stuart Swain without whom this would not have been possible. His expertise and guidance has proven invaluable. I have benefited immensely from his insights into and knowledge of physics in particular quantum optics. His correction to my spoken and written English has also been of particular value. It has been a very pleasure to work with him.
