Rev. Lett. {\\bf 91}, 147903 (2003)]}. Under two-photon resonance, we calculate the group velocity of the probe light with collective atomic excitations. Our result gives the dependence of the group velocity on the common one-photon detuning, and can be compared with the recent experiment (E. E. Mikhailov, Y. V. Rostovtsev, and G. R. Welch, quant-ph/0309173).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-06-02T06:06:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "group velocity", "probe light", "two-photon resonance", "lambda atoms", "quantum probe field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
