Optical switch to single photon transistor (SPT) All optical device in quantum level: Controlling one photon by one photon http://www.gizmag.com/optical-transistor-made-from-single-molecule/12157/
Why controlling photon by photon is difficult? No direct inter-photon interaction and direct coupling to external E.M field according to QED Photon self interaction must be mediated by some massive particles in higher order processes
Single photon based devices Single-photon source Photonic-crystal cavity An ideal triggered source of single photon emits one and only one photon in each pulse Our proposal based on superconducting artificial atoms ( PRB 75, 104516 2007) distributed-braggreflector (DBR) cavity Single-photon detection Toshiba setup single photon detector

Single photon transistor (SPT) proposal D. E. Chang et al, Nature Physics, 3,807(2007) With electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) mechanism Model : Linear waveguide coupled to a local two-level system The setup was based on the theory by a series papers in S.H. Fan, et. al (Stanford), e.g., J. T. Shen and S. Fan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 213001 (2005); 98, 153003 (2007); ibid. 98, 153003 (2007);Opt. Lett. 30, 2001 (2005)
Our questions about this SPT Setup One shot control : one photon by one photon? No, nly strong light controls the EIT Wide band or narrow band? Narrow one due to the single resonate point Localize photon for quantum memory? No, this localization need bound state of Photon!

How to have more controllable parameters for photon According quantum electrodynamics (QED), no direct interaction exist between two photons, thus magnetic or electric fields could not control the photon straightforwardly. In this sense, photon is very different from electron Motivated by AB effect, we use the non-trivial spatial topology to induced an equivalent field for photon
