The method of two-photon approximation for multiphoton decay is applied to the decay of the 4d state in the hydrogen atom. In the process of four-photon decay the two-photon contribution that leads to radiation escape, from the interaction with matter, is considered. This may be helpful for a strict description of the recombination process in the hydrogen atom and, in principle, for the history of hydrogen recombination in the early universe.

Cooling antihydrogen atoms is important for future experiments both to test the fundamental CPT symmetry by high resolution laser spectroscopy and also to measure the gravitational acceleration of antimatter. Laser cooling of antihydrogen can be done on the strong 1S–2P transition at the wavelength of Lyman-alpha (121.6 nm). A continuous wave laser at the Lyman-alpha wavelength based on solid-state fundamental lasers is described. By using a two-photon and a near one-photon resonance a scan across the whole phase matching curve of the four-wave mixing process is possible. Furthermore the influence of the beam profile of one fundamental beam on the four-wave mixing process is studied.

We extend the results of Bakalov et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2350 (2000)) on one-photon electric dipole transition line shift and broadening to the case of two-photon transitions. As an example, we consider the laser-induced transition in antiprotonic helium produced in a helium gas target. The transition is between antiprotonic helium states (n, l) = (33, 32) and (31, 30).

This study analytically explored two coupled two-level atomic systems (TLAS) as two qubits interacting with two modes of an electromagnetic field (EMF) cavity via two-photon transitions in the presence of dipole–dipole interactions between the atoms and intrinsic damping. Using special unitary su(1,1) Lie algebra, the general solution of an intrinsic noise model is obtained when an EMF is initially in a generalized coherent state. We investigated the population inversion of two TLAS and the generated quantum coherence of some partitions (including the EMF, two TLAS, and TLAS–EMF). It is possible to generate quantum coherence (mixedness and entanglement) from the initial pure state. The robustness of the quantum coherence produced and the sudden appearance and disappearance of coherence depended not only on dipole–dipole coupling but also on the intrinsic noise rate. The growth of mixedness and entanglement may be enhanced by increasing dipole–dipole coupling, leading to more robustness against intrinsic noise.

The ASACUSA collaboration of CERN has recently carried out two-photon laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium atoms. Some nonlinear two-photon transitions of the antiproton at the deep UV wavelengths λ = 139.8–197.0 nm were excited by irradiating the atom with two counterpropagating laser beams. This reduced the thermal Doppler broadening in the observed spectral lines. Three transition frequencies were thus determined with fractional precisions of 2.3–5 parts in 109. By comparing the results with three-body quantum electrodynamics calculations, the antiproton-to-electron mass ratio was derived as 1836.1526736(23). In this paper, we briefly review these recent experimental results.
