Abstract
The quantum-mechanical properties of long-lived optical pulses known a s solitons have recently been studied theoretically and observed exper imentally. These experiments suggest effective ways of reducing quantu m noise in signal transmission and of performing quantum-mechanical no n-demolition measurements without destroying the signal.
