Entanglement of remote atomic qubits

We report observations of entanglement of two remote atomic qubits, achieved by generating an entangled state of an atomic qubit and a single photon at site , transmitting the photon to site in an adjacent laboratory through an optical fiber, and converting the photon into an atomic qubit. Entanglement of the two remote atomic qubits is inferred by performing, locally, quantum state transfer of each of the atomic qubits onto a photonic qubit and subsequent measurement of polarization correlations in violation of the Bell inequality [EQUATION: SEE TEXT]. We experimentally determine [EQUATION: SEE TEXT]. Entanglement of two remote atomic qubits, each qubit consisting of two independent spin wave excitations, and reversible, coherent transfer of entanglement between matter and light represent important advances in quantum information science.     

Scheme for reliable realization of quantum logic gates for two atoms separately trapped in two distant cavities via optical fibers

An approach for realizing conditional phase gate for two atoms separately trapped in two distant cavities mediated by an optical fiber is proposed. Utilizing the adiabatic passage, the atomic spontaneous emission, and the decays of the fiber and cavities are avoided under certain condition. The effects of the losses in the fiber and cavities on the fidelity are analyzed. Moreover, our scheme is not restricted to Lamb-Dicke limit. We also generalize the approach to generate one-dimensional cluster state and entangled state for two collections of atoms.     

Two-atom distributed entanglement by detecting the transmission spectrum of a coupled-cavity quantum electrodynamics system

A scheme is presented to generate atomic entanglement by detecting the transmission spectrum of a coupledcavity system. In the scheme, two 3-level atoms are trapped in separate cavities coupled by a short optical fiber,and the atomic entanglement could be realized in a heralded way by detecting the transmission spectrum of the coupled-cavity system.

Vector dissipative solitons in graphene mode locked fiber lasers

Vector soliton operation of erbium-doped fiber lasers mode locked with atomic layer graphene was experimentally investigated. Either the polarization rotation or polarization locked vector dissipative solitons were experimentally obtained in a dispersion-managed cavity fiber laser with large net cavity dispersion, while in the anomalous dispersion cavity fiber laser, the phase locked nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) solitons and induced NLSE soliton were experimentally observed. The vector soliton operation of the fiber lasers unambiguously confirms the polarization insensitive saturable absorption of the atomic layer graphene when the light is incident perpendicular to its 2-dimentional (2D) atomic layer.     

Comparison of F-12 aramid fiber with domestic armid fiber III on surface feature

A comparison of F-12 aramid fiber with domestic armid fiber III (DAF III) on surface feature was carried out by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), elements analysis and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. It is found that the two aramid fibers are of “skin-core” structure and fibrillar structure. The microfibrils orient along the fiber axis and rather poorly bond in transverse direction. Many defects exist on the surface of two fibers. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are the major elements of two aramid fiber. The element content of the same aramid fiber from surface to interior is different. The surface carbon contents of F-12 aramid fiber and DAF III are increased by 10.75% and 9.95% than those in fiber interior respectively, the surface nitrogen content decreased by 9.72% and 27.02% respectively, and the surface oxygen content increased by 13.99% and 37.95% respectively.

Quantum State Transfer Between Any Pair of Qubits in a Quantum Network via Optical Fibers

We propose scheme for transferring quantum state between any pair of nodes in a quantum network. Each node consists of an atom and a cavity, with the atom acting as the quantum bit. Any two adjacent nodes are connected by an optical fiber. 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 method has an inherent robustness against the fluctuation perturbations in the classical control parameters and the randomness in the atomic position. The scheme can be generalized to implement quantum phase gate between any two remote qubits.     

Generating Three-Dimensional Entanglement for Atomic Ensembles Trapped in Two Separated Cavity via an Optical Fiber

We propose a scheme for generating high fidelity three-dimensional entangled state for two atomic ensembles in spatially separated cavities coupled by an optical fiber. By employing multiple atoms in a cavity and resonant interaction between atoms and photons, the interaction time can be shortened greatly. Furthermore, we study the effects of spontaneous emission of atoms and photon leakage.

Generation of Multi-atom Asymmetric W State and Cluster State via Long-range Off-resonant Raman Coupling in Separate Cavities

We propose two schemes to generate multi-atom asymmetric W state and cluster state via long-range off-resonant Raman coupling for distant atoms trapped in separate cavities connected by optical fibers. In these schemes the cavity decay, atomic spontaneous emission, and fiber loss are efficiently suppressed because the effective long-range off-resonant interaction is mediated by the vacuum fields of the fiber and cavity and the total system evolves in the decoherence-free subspace in which no system is excited. Furthermore, the entanglement fidelities of the states are assessed showing that the effects of the deviation on the fidelities of the states are very small.     

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.     

原子光纤中物质波演化的唯象描述

最近,Luo等人在实验上实现了所谓的原子光纤技术(原子物质波沿着一个25μm长的螺旋型波导走完了完整的两圈路径)。本文替该弯曲原子光纤中物质波的时间演化量子力学过程提供了一个唯象描述,主要讨论了三个相关问题：(i)原子物质波与弯曲波导相互作用的有效哈密顿量的构造;(ii)获得描述弯曲原子光纤中物质波的波函数;(iii)证明该物质波波函数恰好是原子动量算符的本征态,表明该唯象描述是自洽的。我们认为本文的唯象模型对于所谓的“原子光学”(atom optics)的研究是有一定意义的。     

Scalable Implementation of Multi-qubit Quantum Grover Search with Atomic Ensembles by Adiabatic Passage

We propose a simple scheme to implement multi-qubit quantum Grover search with atomic ensembles by adiabatic passage. The scheme is immune to the atomic spontaneous emission, cavity decay and fiber decay. Furthermore, the process can be speeded up with atomic ensemble instead of single atom, which is important in view of decoherence. With each atomic ensemble confined in an individual cavity, our scheme is experimentally scalable to multi-qubit cases.     

Atomic spectroscopy and quantum optics in hollow‐core waveguides

Atomic spectroscopy is a well‐established, integral part of the physicist's toolbox with an extremely broad range of applications ranging from astronomy to single atom quantum optics. While highly desirable, miniaturization of atomic spectroscopy techniques on the chip scale was hampered by the apparent incompatibility of conventional solid‐state integrated optics and gaseous media. Here, the state of the art of atomic spectroscopy in hollow‐core optical waveguides is reviewed The two main approaches to confining light in low index atomic vapors are described: hollow‐core photonic crystal fiber (HC‐PCF) and planar antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides (ARROWs). Waveguide design, fabrication, and characterization are reviewed along with the current performance as compact atomic spectroscopy devices. The article specifically focuses on the realization of quantum interference effects in alkali atoms which may enable radically new optical devices based on low‐level nonlinear interactions on the single photon level for frequency standards and quantum communication systems.     

Measurement of nanosize etched pits in SiO2 optical fiber conduit using AFM

Fission fragment tracks from ²⁵²Cf have been observed in SiO₂ optical fiber, using an atomic force microscope (AFM), after a very short chemical etching in hydrofluoric acid solution at normal temperature. The nuclear track starting and evolution process is followed by the AFM direct measurements on the material surface and beyond a fine layer of the surface material. The images of the scanned cones were determined observing the two predominant energies from ²⁵²Cf fission fragments and the development of the tracks in the 150 μm diameter optical fiber conduit.     

Determination of distance of intra-molecular hydrogen bonding in (Ala-Gly)15 with silk I form after removal of the effect of MAS frequency in REDOR experiment

It is important to know the structure of silk I (Bombyx mori silk structure before spinning in the solid state) in order to understand the mechanism of fiber formation at the atomic level. In this study, 15N-dephased, 13C-observe REDOR has been carried out to determine the atomic distance of intra-molecular hydrogen bond between the 13C=O carbon of the 14th Gly residue and the 15N nitrogen of the 17th Ala residue of (AG)(6)A[1-13C]GAG[15N]AG(AG)(6) with silk I form after removal of the effect of MAS frequency on the re-coupling. The distance was determined to be 4.3A, which confirmed the intra-molecular hydrogen bonding formation between these two atomic sites.

Our investigation shows that a wide variety of time-evolution behaviors can be realized by modulating the atom-cavity detuning δ, the atom-cavity coupling strength g and the cavity-fiber hopping strength v.
