Abstract
We describe an optical system that allows for a direct experimental observation of the quantum magnetic correlated dynamics of polarized light. By adjusting the Zeeman and the Raman fields, we could realize a ferromagnetic phase, super-counter-fluidity phase, and antiferromagnetic phase of polarized light, that are of interest for studying spin-dependent photon-photon interactions. We also design an experimental protocol for the observation of these phases. Moreover, the technique of controlling photospin correlation may be used for building quantum information devices.Year: 2007 PMID: 17995407 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.183602
