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.     

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.     

Robust generation of qutrit entanglement via adiabatic passage of dark states

We propose a scheme for the deterministic generation of qutrit entanglement for two atoms trapped in an optical cavity. Taking advantage of the adiabatic passage, the operation is immune to atomic spontaneous emission as the atomic excited states are never populated; under certain conditions, the probability that the cavity is excited is negligible. We also study the influences of the dissipation due to the atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay.

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.     

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.     

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.

Teleportation of arbitrary unknown two-atom statewith cluster state via thermal cavity

This paper proposes a scheme for implementing the teleportation of an arbitrary unknown two-atom state by using a cluster state of four identical 2-level atoms as quantum channel in a thermal cavity. The two distinct advantages of the present scheme are： （i） The discrimination of 16 orthonormal cluster states in the standard teleportation protocol is transformed into the discrimination of single-atom states. Consequently, the discrimination difficulty of states is degraded. （ii） The scheme is insensitive to the cavity field state and the cavity decay for the thermal cavity is only virtually excited when atoms interact with it. Thus, the scheme is more feasible.     

Generation of Superpositions of Atomic Coherent States Through Raman Atom-Field Interaction

We propose a scheme for the generation of superpositions of collective atomic coherent states. In the scheme a collection of degenerate A-type three-level atoms is confined in a high-Q cavity and interacts with the cavity field in a Raman manner. Then a state reduction on the field collapses the atomic system onto a superposition state.     

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.     

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.     

Effects of vacuum fluctuation suppression on atomic decay rates

The use of atomic decay rates as a probe of sub-vacuum phenomena will be studied. Because electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations are essential for radiative decay of excited atomic states, decay rates can serve as a measure of the suppression of vacuum fluctuations in non-classical states, such as squeezed vacua. In such states, the renormalized expectation value of the square of the electric field or the energy density can be periodically negative, representing suppression of vacuum fluctuations. We explore the extent to which atomic decays can be used to measure the mean squared electric field or energy density. We consider a scheme in which atoms in an excited state transit a closed cavity whose lowest mode contains photons in a non-classical state. A crucial feature of our analysis is that we do not employ the rotating wave approximation. The change in the decay probability of the atom in the cavity due to the non-classical state can, under certain circumstances, serve as a measure of the mean squared electric field or energy density in the cavity. We make some estimates of the magnitude of this effect, which indicate that an experimental test might be possible, although very challenging.     

Generation of cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states

We present a scheme to prepare cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states （CTESVS） by considering the two-photon interaction between a two-level atom and a high-quality cavity, driven by a strong classical field. After the realization of simple atomic measurements, the generation of CTESVS in four separate cavities is accomplished within the cavity decay time. In the case of large atom=cavity detuning, the scheme is immune to the effect of atomic spontaneous emission.     

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.     

基于低Q腔光子Faraday旋转的远程态制备

基于低Q腔中单光子的输入与输出关系,提出了利用偏振光Faraday旋转分别遥远制备单原子态和两原子纠缠态的可行方案.研究结果表明,当初始原子态的系数为实数时,通过选择合适的偏振光、腔场与原子相互作用系统的参数,单原子态与两原子纠缠态的远程制备均可确定性地得以实现.与以前的原子态远程制备方案相比,本文方案采用光子作为飞行比特来传递量子信息,故原则上可实现原子态的真正长距离制备.由于原子态的信息编码在耗散单边腔囚禁的Λ型三能级原子的两个基态能级,且原子仅虚激发,因此本文方案对腔衰减和原子自发辐射不敏感.此外,本文所提出的两种方案不需要两体或多体正交测量,仅涉及单体直积态测量,而且两种方案都工作在低Q腔,不需要原子与光腔的强耦合,从而有效降低了实验难度.

Generation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states for multiple atoms trapped in separated cavities

We propose a scheme for generating maximally entangled states for multiple atoms trapped in distant cavities connected by fibers. During the operation neither the atomic system nor the fibers are excited, which is important in view of decoherence. Under certain conditions, the probability that the cavities are excited is negligible. The scheme does not include projective measurement and the GHZ state is generated deterministically. Taking advantage of adiabatic passage, the entanglement fidelity is insensitive to fluctuation of experimental parameters.     

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.     

Scheme for Teleportation of Four-Level Atomic States in Thermal Cavities

We propose a scheme for teleportation of four-level atomic states in thermal cavities. The scheme does not involve the generalized Bell-state or generalized GHZ-state measurement, which is difficult in practice. Another feature of the scheme is that it does not require individual addressing of atoms in cavity and is insensitive to both cavity decay and thermal field, which is of importance in point of experiment.
