Multiqubit Nonlocal Operation and Physical Implementation

We propose a scheme of preparing four-atom cluster states in thermal cavity. Four two-level atoms, three thermal cavities and classical field are used in the scheme. Compared with previous schemes, the scheme can be generalized to n-atom cluster states and the successful probability can be 100%, which the system of the photon can never reach. In addition, the system is insensitive to cavity decay and the thermal field. Using the four-atom cluster state, we also propose a simpler scheme for remote controlled not gate （CNOT）, in which we detect the separate states instead of the joint-Bell states measurement.     

Protocol for multi-party superdense coding by using multi-atom in cavity QED

We present a protocol for multi-party superdense coding by using multi-atom in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). It is shown that, with a highly detuned cavity mode and a strong driving field, the protocol is insensitive to both cavity decay and thermal field. It is even certain to identify GHZ states via detecting the atomic states. Therefore we can realize the quantum dense coding in a simple way in the multiparty system.     

Multi-component Entangled State Generation for Three-Level Atomic System with Hyperfine Structure via Dispersive Interactions

We discuss the generation of certain kinds of multi-component entangled states for three-level atomic system with hyperfine structure. The method proposed here is based on the interactions of dispersive cavity with only one atom driven by a strong classical field. It is shown that, with a judicious choice of the cavity detuning and applied coherent field detuning, the atom can interact dispersively with the quantized field but the classical driving field gives rise to the creation or destruction of photons conditional on the state of the system. In comparison with previous schemes,our method is likely to be extremely easy to realize in practice     

Generation of nonclassical states in a large detuning cavity

By using the theory of cavity QED, we study the system in which a two-level atom interacts with a cavity in the case of large detuning. Through the selective detecting of atomic state, Schrodinger cat states and entangled coherent states are easily generated. When the atom is driven by a weak classical field and the cavity field is in the Schrodinger cat state, we study the conditions of generating the Fock states and the maximal success probability. The maximal success probability in our scheme is larger than the previous one.     

Preparation and Decoherence of Two-Atom Entangled States in a Dissipative Cavity

We present a scheme for generating four pairs of two-atom Einstein Podolsky-Rosen （EPR） states using the simultaneous interaction of the two atoms with a single-mode cavity field under a large detuning condition. The influence of cavity dissipation on the prepared EPR states is investigated by means of the superoperator method and the state fidelity. It is shown that some kinds of the prepared EPR states are robust against cavity dissipation and the intensity of the field, and maintain their entanglement invariance, and the others are fragile and completely destroyed by the action of cavity dissipation and the intensity of the field in the long-time limit. Decoherence time of the fragile entangled states is extremely small for a typical cavity-QED experimental data.     

Preparation of Multi—Atom Entangled States with a Single Cavity in a Thermal State

A scheme is suggested for the generation of multi-atom maximally entangled states with a cavity in a thermal state,In this scheme several appropriately prepared two-level atoms are simultaneously sent through the nonresonant cavity.We divide the whole atom-cavity interaction time into two equal parts.At the end of the first part a π pulse is applied to the atome using a classical field.Then the photon-number-dependent shifts on the atomic states are cancelled and the atomic system finally evoloves to a maximally entangled state.     

Conditional Generation of Multiparticle Entanglement via Cavity QED

We propose a simple scheme to not only generate GHZ states and W states of the multiparticle but also form a new category of multiparticle entangled states by letting the A-type three-level atoms simultaneously interacting with a coherent cavity field followed by the selective measurements on the cavity mode. We investigate the influence of the cavity dissipation on the generated entangled state and discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme. It is shown that the intensity of the coherent cavity field plays an instructive role in contribution to state preparation process while the cavity decay and the detuning between the atoms and cavity mode result in the deterioration of the generated entangled state.     

Preparation of Highly Squeezed States and Multi—component Entangled Coherent States via the Raman Interaction

A method is presented for generating highly squeezed states of a cavity field via the atom-cavity field interaction of the Raman type.In the scheme a sequence of three-level Λ-type atoms interacts with a cavity field,displaced by a classical source,in a Raman manner.Then the atomic states are measured.By this way the cavity field may collapse onto a superposition of several coherent states,which exhibits strong squeezing.The scheme can also be used to prepare superpositions of many two-mode coherent states for two cavity fields.The coherent states in each mode are on a straight line.This is the first way for preparing multi-component entangled coherent states of this type in cavity QED.     

Generation of Maximally Entangled States of Two Nonidentical Atoms in Cavity QED

We have discussed the system which consists of two nonidentical two-level atoms trapped simultaneously in a large-detuned single-mode cavity field in this paper. The results show that it is possible to generate maximally entangled states for two nonidentical two-level atoms only if the cavity frequency and difference of two nonidentical atoms transition frequency are selected and the cavity-atom interacation time is controlled.     

Entanglements in a coupled cavity–array with one oscillating end-mirror

We theoretically investigate the entanglement properties in a hybrid system consisting of an optical cavity–array coupled to a mechanical resonator. We show that the steady state of the system presents bipartite continuous variable entanglement in an experimentally accessible parameter regime. The effects of the cavity–cavity coupling strength on the bipartite entanglements in the field–mirror subsystem and in the field–field subsystem are studied. We further find that the entanglement between the adjacent cavity and the movable mirror can be entirely transferred to the distant cavity and mirror by properly choosing the cavity detunings and the coupling strength in the two-cavity case. Surprisingly, such a remote macroscopic entanglement tends to be stable in the large coupling regime and persists for environment temperatures at above 25 K in the three-cavity case. Such optomechanical systems can be used for the realization of continuous variable quantum information interfaces and networks.     

Realization of superposition and entanglement of coherent and squeezed states in circuit quantum electrodynamics

We propose a new scheme for generating the superposition and entanglement of the coherent states and squeezed states by considering N superconducting charge qubits (or artificial two-level atoms) interacting with photons in a high finesse cavity on a chip, assisted by a strong driving field. By virtue of the parameters of this system, we can generate novel quantum states, for example, multiparty entangled states and Schro¨dinger cat states among the superconducting qubits, coherent states and squeezed state...     

Concentration of Unknown Atomic Entangled States via Entanglement Swapping through Raman Interaction

We show that entanglement concentration of unknown atomic entangled states is achieved via the implementation of entanglement swapping based on Raman interaction in cavity QED. A maximally entangled state is obtained from a pair of partially entangled states probabilistically. Due to Raman interaction of two atoms with a cavity mode and an external driving field, the influence of atomic spontaneous emission has been eliminated. Because of the virtual excitation of the cavity mode, the decoherence of cavity decay and thermal field is neglected.     

Transmission Probability of an Ultracold Atom in the Presence of Atomic Coherence

We investigate the transmission probability of an ultracold V-type three-level atom passing through a micromaser cavity,in the presence of atomic coherence which is established by a coherent driving field.We show that the transmissibility of this micromaser system with the atomic coherence is better than that of the ordinary micromaser system without atomic coherence.When the driving field is strong enough,for any cavity length the ultracold atom can pass through the micromaser cavity freely.     

Generation of multipartite entangled states by cavity QED

We propose the methods of generating multipartite entanglement by considering the interaction of a system of N two-level atoms in M cavities of high quality factor with a strong classical driving field. It is shown that, with the cavity detuning, the applied driving field detuning and vacuum Rabi coupling, we can produce an entangled coherent state in two single-mode cavities and generate the entangled coherent cluster states in two bimodal vacuum cavities. Tuning these parameters also allows us to acquire the anti-Jaynes-Cummings （AJC） interaction, with which we can generate the maximally two-photon entangled states, and the two-atom and the two-photon entangled cluster states.     

Entanglement in Ising Chain with Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

We have numerically calculated the thermal entanglement of a two-qubit system at low temperatures in a isotropic Ising chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field. It is shown that in the homogeneous magnetic field, the two- qubit system has entangled states. It is concluded that the presence of the inhomogeneity in the magnetic field plays an effective role on the entangled states. Finally, it is suggested that the inhomogeneity in the magnetic field can be used to create two separated entangled formations in a two-qubit system.     

Preparation of Multi-Atom Entangled States with a Single Cavity in a Thermal State

A scheme is suggested for the generation of multi-atom maximally entangled states with a cavity in a thermalstate. In this scheme several appropriately prepared two-level atoms are simultaneously sent through the nonresonantcavity. We divide the whole atom-cavity interaction time into two equal parts. At the end of the first part a π pulse isapplied to the atoms using a classical field. Then the photon-number-dependent shifts on the atomic states are cancelledand the atomic system finally evolves to a maximally entangled state.     

Quantum Information Transfer from a Double Quantum Dot System to a Cavity Field＊

In this paper, we propose a scheme to realize quantum information transfer from a double quantum dot （DQD） system to a quantized cavity field. The DQD and the cavity field are treated as a two-state charge qubit and a continuous-variable system, respectively. It is shown that quantum information encoded in the two-state DQD system can be transferred to quantum states of the cavity field with a continuous-variable basis through appropriate projective measurements with respect to the DQD.     

Simple schemes for generation of W-type multipartite entangled states and realization of quantum- information concentration

We propose simple schemes for generating W-type multipartite entangled states in cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED). Our schemes involve a largely detuned interaction of Λ-type three-level atoms with a single-mode cavity field and a classical laser, and both the symmetric and asymmetric W states can be created in a single step. Our schemes are insensitive to both the cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission. With the above system, we also propose a scheme for realizing quantum-information concentration which is the reverse process of quantum cloning. In this scheme, quantum-information originally coming from a single qubit, but now distributed into many qubits, is concentrated back to a single qubit in only one step.     

Optical bistability and multistability in a three-level Δ-type atomic system under the nonresonant condition

Under a nonresonant condition, we theoretically investigate hybrid absorptive-dispersive optical bistability and multistability behaviours in a three-level Δ-type system by using a microwave field to drive a hyperfine transition between two upper excited states inside a unidirectional ring cavity. We find that the optical bistability and multistability behaviours can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of the microwave field or the intensity of the coherent coupling field. Furthermore, our studies show an interesting phenomenon of the transition from the optical bistability to the optical multistability only by changing the negative detuning of the coupling field into the positive detuning of the coupling field.     

Generation of four-atom cluster states in thermal cavity and implementing remote controlled not gate

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme for preparing a four-atom cluster state in a thermal cavity. In the scheme, the cavity field is only virtually excited and the photon-number-dependent part in the effective Hamiltonian is cancelled so that the system is insensitive to the cavity decay and the thermal field. At the same time, the scheme can be generalized to prepare n-atom cluster states with the success probability 100\%. In addition, using the four-atom cluster state, we also propose a simpler scheme for implementing a remote--controlled not gate (CNOT) without the Bell states measurement.
