These processes can be divided into two distinct groups. In the first group, laser beams are from a single source 1,2 , and in the second group laser beams are from two different sources 3. Several experiments in the first group were carried out and have led to the 2005 Nobel Prize in physics. The second group is more interesting. Atoms are in random motion and two photons are from different sources. Classically, it is impossible for atoms to transit coherently in the absorption process, but quantum mechanically, such a transition is possible and that is one of the spooky phenomena in quantum mechanic. To assure the coherent transition, each photon as absorbed by the atom must have two possible paths of choices. If one photon has the choice and other one is not, then the atomic transitions cannot be coherent. The present talk will review various spooky phenomena associated with two-photon coherent atomic absorption, and will clarify some theoretical misunderstandings regarding these interesting transitions.

C. Li, Phys. Rev. A 22 (1980) 1323]. The absorption was initiated by two different laser sources. Classically, it is impossible for atoms to transit coherently in the absorption process, but quantum mechanically it is. This is one of the spooky phenomena in quantum mechanic. Around1990, there were very active experimental pursuits on a spooky phenomenon of two photons emitted from crystal parametric down conversion. The two-photon coherent atomic absorption process contained all basic ingredients as that in crystal parametric down conversion. However, the former arises from two different laser sources. The atom entangles two photons together and becomes a correlatior. The latter arises from a single laser source and two photons are entangled with each other at emission. These two spooky phenomena have been considered as disjointed. The present talk will review two spooky phenomena, and point out their similarities. The investigation on quantum spooky phenomena has led to quantum computing and quantum encryption. It is a hope that the present will stimulate the interest on bring in these two disjointed phenomena together and provide clues in advancing quantum computing and quantum encryption.

The puzzle is that the classical theory based on pulse movement can not support the presence of pulsed Doppler beating in optical coherence tomography. Theoretical efforts are needed to resolve the puzzle*. This is a fundamental puzzle with respect to classical and quantum coherence.
