Radiation forces on a three-level atom in the high-order Bessel beams

The general expressions of the average dissipative and dipole forces acting on a A-configuration three-level atom in an arbitrary light field are derived by means of the optical Bloch equations based on the atomic density matrix elements, and the general properties of the average dissipative and dipole forces on a three-level atom in the linearly-polarized high-order Bessel beams （HBBs） are analysed. We find a resonant property （with two resonant peaks） of the dissipative force and a non-resonant property （with two pairs of non-resonant peaks） of the dipole force on the three-level atom, which are completely different from those on the two-level atom. Meanwhile we find a saturation effect of the average dissipative force in the HBB, which comes from the saturation of the upper-level population. Our study shows that the general expressions of the average dissipative and dipole forces on the three-level atom will be simplified to those of the two-level atom under the approximation of large detuning. Finally, we study the axial and azimuthal Doppler cooling of atoms in ID optical molasses composed of two counter-propagating HBBs and discuss the azimuthal influence of the HBB on the Doppler cooling limit. We also find that the Doppler limit of atoms in the molasses HBB is slightly below the conventional Doppler limit of hГ/（2kB） due to the orbital angular momentum lh of the HBB.

The fluorescence spectrum of a three-level atom in two-photon resonance with the laser field

The influence of the two-photon resonant interaction on the fluoresence spectrum of a three-level atom is studied. The levels in questions are the 1S, 2P and 3S states of a two-electron atom. It is shown, that in the case of exact two-photon resonance between the 1S–3S transition and the laser field, and when the 2P state is out of resonance, the fluorescence spectrum contains 4 lines. The properties of these lines are discussed.     

压缩真空中梯形三能级原子的辐射压力

研究了压缩真空中梯形三能级原子在单色行波场中的辐射压力。从系统的哈密顿量出发,利用玻因-马尔可夫近似,推导出了原子的光学布洛赫方程。此时用数值方法求得布洛赫方程的稳态解,然后用图示法考察了原子的辐射压力随双光子失谐、拉比频率、自发发射率等参量的依赖关系。结果表明：单光子跃迁和双光子跃迁可导致辐射压力出现各自的多普勒位移共振峰;辐射压力表现出较宽的失谐范围且强烈依赖于压缩参量以及压缩真空和相干光之间的相位关系。当相位满足匹配条件时,辐射压力减小。

存在相位退相干时原子与光场相互作用的纠缠演化和保持

应用全量子理论研究了存在相位退相干时单模相干光场与一个二能级原子相互作用系统纠缠的时间演化规律;分别讨论了原子—光场耦合常数、光场的平均光子数以及失谐量的大小对场与原子纠缠的影响.结果表明:随着原子—光场耦合常数的增大和光场平均光子数的增加,系统纠缠的振荡频率都会明显增大.不存在相位退相干时,纠缠的时间演化明显受到失谐量的影响,若选取适当的失谐量,系统的纠缠可长时间保持在最大纠缠态.若考虑相位退相干的影响,则在共振情况下系统纠缠的时间演化是一个逐渐衰减的过程,且最终衰减到零;但若存在适当的失谐量,则在初始一段时间内系统的纠缠也是一个波动幅度逐渐衰减的过程,但随着时间的演化,失谐量抵消了相位退相干的影响,使系统的纠缠不再衰减到零.如果增大失谐量,纠缠在初始一段时间内波动的幅度会相应的减小,并且纠缠趋于稳定的时间也随着失谐量的增大而缩短;当失谐量适当时,系统可保持在纠缠相对较大的状态而无消纠缠态.     

Simulation of a quantum NOT gate for a single qutrit system

A three-level system based an a three-level atom interacting with a detuned cavity is considered. Because of the fact that the three-level atom defines a total normalized state composed of superposition of three different single-level states, it is assumed that such a system implements a qutrit. In order to achieve a quantum NOT gate for a single qutrit, the respective Schrödinger equation is solved numerically within a two-photon rotating wave approximation. For small values of one-photon detuning, there appear decoherence effects. Meanwhile, for large values of one-photon detuning, an ideal quantum NOT gate for a single qutrit is achieved. An expression for the execution time of the quantum NOT gate for a single qutrit as a function of the one-photon detuning is found.

Entropy and Entanglement of a Single-mode Vacuum Field Interacting with a Ξ-type Three-level Atom with Detuning

The evolution of the field entropy and the entanglement between the atom and the field for the system of a single-mode vacuum field interacting with a Ξ-type three-level atom have been studied by using the reduced quantum entropy. The influences of the detuning of the light field and the setting of the initial state of the atom on the field entropy and entanglement of the system under consideration are discussed emphatically. It is showed that the detuning of the light field and the setting of the initial state of the atom play an important role for the evolution of the field entropy and the entanglement between the atom and the field. The general conclusions reached are illustrated by numerical results.

Steady-state populations of a driven three-level atom in a broad-band squeezed vacuum

A theoretical study is made of the steady-state populations of a three-level atom in a ladder configuration, driven by a superposition of a monochromatic laser wave with a broad-band squeezed vacuum. The master equation for the system and the atomic Bloch equations are derived. The steady-state populations are calculated numerically and shown graphically as functions of two-photon detuning for various cases of the squeezed vacuum. It is shown that, the atomic populations depend strongly on the relative phase of the driving field and the squeezed vacuum. When the phase matching condition is fulfilled, there will be a strong two-photon resonant absorption from the squeezed vacuum, a characteristic different from absorption of photons from a classical field.
