A Scheme for Atomic Entangled States and Quantum Gate Operations in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme for controllably entangling the ground states of five-state W-type atoms confined in a cavity and realizing swap gate and phase gate operations. In this scheme the cavity is only virtually excited and the atomic excited states are almost not occupied, so the produced entangled states and quantum logic operations are very robust against the cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission.     

Conditional quantum CNOT gate between two four-level atoms

We propose a scheme to implement a quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate between two four-level atoms inside the detuned optical cavity. The system state is evolved inside the decoherence-free (DF) subspace through stimulated Raman processes, which yields the desired unitary evolution operation for the CNOT.Our scheme is immune to decoherence due to dissipation of cavity excitation and spontaneous emission from the excited atomic level.     

Possible Realization of Cluster States and Quantum Information Transfer in Cavity QED via Raman Transition

We present a scheme to generate cluster states with many scheme, no transfer of quantum information between the atoms in cavity QED via Raman transition. In this atoms and cavities is required, the cavity fields are only virtually excited and thus the cavity decay is suppressed during the generation of cluster states. The atoms are always populated in the two ground states. Therefore, the scheme is insensitive to the atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay. We also show how to transfer quantum information from one atom to another.     

Deterministic generation of entangled coherent states for two atomic samples

This paper proposes an efficient scheme for deterministic generation of entangled coherent states for two atomic samples. In the scheme two collections of atoms are trapped in an optical cavity and driven by a classical field. Under certain conditions the two atomic samples evolve from an coherent state to an entangled coherent state. During the interaction the cavity mode is always in the vacuum state and the atoms have no probability of being populated in the excited state. Thus, the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission.     

Generation of four-atom Greenberger-Horn-Zeilinger state via adiabatic passage

We propose a scheme to generate a Greenberger-Horn-Zeilinger (GHZ) state of four atoms trapped in a two-mode optical cavity via an adiabatic passage. The scheme is robust against moderate fluctuations of the experimental parameters. Numerical calculations show that the excited probabilities of both the cavity modes and the atoms are tiny and depend on the pulse peaks of the classical laser fields. For certain decoherence due to the atomic spontaneous emission and the cavity decay, there exits a range of pulse peaks to get a high fidelity.     

Efficient Scheme for the Generation of Atomic Schrodinger Cat States in an Optical Cavity

An efficient scheme is proposed for the generation of atomic Schrodinger cat states in an optical cavity. Inthe scheme N three-level atoms are loaded in the optical cavity. Raman coupling of two ground states is achieved via alaser field and the cavity mode. The cavity mode is always in the vacuum state and the atoms have no probability ofbeing populated in the excited state. Thus, the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and spontaneous emission.     

Quantum Logic Gates and Cluster States with Four-level Atoms in Cavity QED

We propose a model to implement the two-qubit quantum logic gates, i.e., the quantum phase gate and the Controlled-NOT gate, and generate the atomic qubits cluster states with a large detuned interaction between four-level atoms and a single-mode cavity field. In the presented protocol, the quantum information is encoded on the stable ground states of the atoms, and the effect of decoherence from atomic spontaneous emission is negligible. In addition, the interaction between atoms and the cavity is large detuned, and the cavity is only virtually excited. Therefore, the scheme is insensitive to the cavity decay. The experimental feasibility of our proposal is also discussed.

Schemes for Generating Cluster States via Cavity Systems

We propose a scheme for generating an N-atom cluster state via cavity quantum electrodynamics （ CQED）. In our scheme, there is no transfer of quantum information between the atoms and the cavity, i.e., the cavity is always in the vacuum state, so the cavity decay can be suppressed. Also, the generated cluster state is the entanglement of the ground states, so the atomic spontaneous emission can be avoided. Therefore, the cluster state generated in our scheme has a longer lifetime. Furthermore, the requirement on the quality factor of the cavity greatly loosened for the cavity is only virtually excited.     

Efficient Scheme for the Generation of Atomic Schrödinger Cat States in an Optical Cavity

An efficient scheme is proposed for the generation of atomic Schroedinger cat states in an optical cavity. In the scheme N three-level atoms are loaded in the optical cavity. Raman coupling of two ground states is achieved via a laser tield and the cavity mode. The cavity mode is always in the vacuum state and the atoms have no probability of being populated in the excited state. Thus, the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and spontaneous emission.     

Langevin and generalized Langevin types of spontaneous emission of quantum particles

In the effective Hamiltonian representation, we have obtained a quantum stochastic differential equation of a generalized Langevin type for the evolution operator of an atomic ensemble in a microcavity in an external broadband quantized field and in a nonresonant field of the microcavity. We show that, depending on the number of particles in the atomic ensemble, its dynamics demonstrates both the Langevin and the generalized Langevin types of the two-photon spontaneous decay. In this case, one photon is emitted into the cavity mode, whereas the other photon is emitted into the external broadband electromagnetic field. The Langevin type is determined by a considerable Stark interaction of the atomic ensemble with the broadband photon-free quantized field. We show that, here, the Stark interaction is represented by a quantized Poisson process and, depending on its magnitude (at certain numbers of atoms in the ensemble), the two-photon collective spontaneous emission of microcavity atoms can be completely suppressed. In this case, the two-photon spontaneous emission of the singly excited atomic ensemble is described by the two-level model, while the atom-photon cluster of the microcavity under the described conditions is an artificial two-level quantum particle with a strong Stark interaction.     

Simple cases of spontaneous emission from an atom-photon cluster localized in a microcavity

The spontaneous emission from an atomic ensemble localized in a microcavity with the participation of microcavity photons and an external broadband quantized electromagnetic field at the Raman resonance of photons with an optically forbidden (two-photon) atomic transition has been studied. The average spontaneous decay intensity has been calculated for simple cases. It is shown that the dynamics of spontaneous emission from this atomic ensemble differs generally from the conventional superradiance (spontaneous emission of an atomic ensemble at a one-photon optically allowed transition from excited to the ground state. When the atomic ensemble is strongly excited, the delay times and the emission pulse shape differ significantly. The parameter ranges where the spontaneous emission from the atomic ensemble under consideration at a two-photon Raman transition can be described as conventional superradiance with renormalized parameters are found. In the case of single excitation the photon emission probability depends on the number of photons and atoms in the microcavity.     

Quantum storage of single photons with unknown arrival time and pulse shapes

We present a scheme for the quantum storage of single photons using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a low-finesse optical cavity, assisted by state-selected spontaneous atomic emission. Mediated by the dark mode of cavity EIT, the destructive quantum interference between the cavity input-output channel and state-selected atomic spontaneous emission leads to strong absorption of single photons with unknown arrival time and pulse shapes. We discuss the application of this phenomenon to photon counting using stored light.     

Purification of entangled states for two atoms via cavity decay

In this paper a scheme is proposed for the purification of entangled states for two atoms trapped in two distant cavities via cavity decay. In the scheme, the atoms have no probability of being populated in the excited state and thus the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed. This scheme is valid no matter when the cavity decay rate is larger or smaller than the effective atom-cavity coupling strength. The fidelity of the final state is not affected by the imperfection of the photodetectors.     

Scheme for Concentration of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis> Class State via Cavity Decay

We propose a concentration scheme of the W class state via cavity QED technique. In our scheme the influences of cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission have been considered. Furthermore, the atomic spontaneous emission has been suppressed by using non-radiative transitions in atoms with three-level structure, and the photonic qubit is used as flying qubit and atomic qubit as stationary qubit. Therefore our scheme is comparatively easy to realize within techniques presently available.     

Generation of NOON Sates for Two Atomic Samples Trapped in Two Distant Cavities

A scheme is proposed for generating NOON states for two atomic samples trapped in two distant cavities connected by a third cavity and optical fibers. In the scheme, all the atoms are always populated in the two degenerate ground states, so the atoms’ spontaneous emission can be omitted approximately. During the operation neither the cavity modes nor fiber modes are excited, which is important in view of decoherence. The scheme does not include projective measurement and the NOON state is generated deterministically.     

Concentration of Non-maximally Entangled States via Entanglement Swapping in Cavity QED

Using the highly detuned interaction between Λ-type three-level atoms and coherent optical fields in cavity QED, we can create a maximally entangled state between an atom and a cavity mode from a non-maximally entangled atomic state and a non-maximally entangled coherent state via entanglement swapping. The averaged output entanglement of the scheme is the product of the initial two non-maximal entanglements rather than the sum of them. The impact made by the spontaneous emission from the atomic excited levels has been canceled here, which makes the current protocol more feasible.     

Teleportation of an Unknown Atomic State via Adiabatic Passage

We propose a scheme for teleporting an unknown atomic state via adiabatic passage. Taking advantage of adiabatic passage, the atom has no probability of being excited and thus the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed. We also show that the fidelity can reach 1 under certain condition.

Squeezing‐Enhanced Atom–Cavity Interaction in Coupled Cavities with High Dissipation Rates

The realization of the strong coupling regime is requisite for implementing quantum information tasks. Here, a method for enhancing the atom–field coupling in highly dissipative coupled cavities is proposed. By introducing parametric squeezing into the primary cavity, which is only virtually excited under specific parametric conditions, coupling enhancement between the atom and the auxiliary cavity is realized for appropriate squeezing parameters. This enables the system to be robust against large cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission. The observation of vacuum Rabi oscillations show that the originally weakly coupled system can be enhanced into an effective strong coupling regime.
