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.     

Generation of any superposition of coherent states along a straight line via resonant atom-cavity interaction

This paper proposes a scheme for generating arbitrary superpositions of several coherent states along a straight line for a cavity mode. In the scheme, several atoms are sent through a cavity initially in a strong coherent state. The superposition of several coherent states with desired coefficients may be generated if each atom is detected in the excited state after it exits the cavity. The scheme is based on resonant atom--cavity interaction and no classical field is required during and after the atom--cavity interaction. Thus, the scheme is very simple and the interaction time is very short, which is important in view of decoherence.     

Generation of Maximally Entangled States for Many Two-Level Atoms in a Thermal Cavity

We propose a scheme for generating maximally entangled states for two or more two-level atoms in a thermal cavity. The cavity frequency is large-detuned from the atomic transition frequency, so the Hamiltonian can be expressed as an effective form. The photon-number-dependent parts in the effective Hamiltonian are cancelled with the assistance of a strong classical field, thus the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field. The scheme can be used to generate multi-atom Bell-state and Greenberger-Horne-Zeiliner （GHZ） state.     

Superposition of Fock states via adiabatic passage in a coupled four-level atom－cavity system

We have investigated the behaviour of an atom－cavity system via a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage technique in a four-level system, in which two dark states are present. We find, because of the coherent control field, that a superposition of Fock states can be prepared, even when the cavity is initially not in its vacuum state. This method provides a way to generate arbitrary quantum states of a cavity field.     

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.     

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.     

Generation of entangled coherent states for two cavity modes via resonant interaction with a V-type three-level atom

This paper proposes a scheme for the generation of entangled coherent states for two cavity modes. In the scheme a V-type three-level atom is sent through a two-mode cavity filled with a coherent field. After the atom cavity interaction and detection of the atomic state the cavity modes may evolve to a superposition of two-mode coherent states. As the scheme is based on resonant atom-cavity interaction, the required interaction time is short, which is important in view of the decoherence. Moreover, additional classical pulses are unnecessary before and after the atom-cavlty interaction.     

Generation of SU（2） Coherent States for a Cavity Mode and a Collective Atomic Mode

We propose a scheme for generation of SU（2） coherent states for an atomic ensemble and a cavity mode. In the scheme a collection of two-level atoms resonantly interact with a single-mode quantized field. Under certain conditions, the system can evolve from a Fock state to a highly entangled SU（2） coherent state. The operation speed increases as the number of atoms increases, which is important in view of deeoherence.     

Implementing the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm by using Schrodinger cat states in cavity QED

We propose a scheme to implement the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm by using Schroedinger cat states in cavity quantum electron-dynamics （QED）. The scheme is based on the Raman interaction of a degenerate three-level A-type atom with a coherent state in a cavity. By using Schroedinger cat states, the atomic spontaneous emission can be minimized and the Hadamard transformation in our scheme is not needed.     

Entanglement concentration for multi-atom GHZ class state via cavity QED

In this paper, we propose a physical scheme to concentrate non-maximally entangled atomic pure states by using atomic collision in a far-off-resonant cavity. The most distinctive advantage of our scheme is that the non-maximally entangled atoms may be far from or near each other and their degree of entanglement can be maximally amplified. The photon-number-dependent parts in the effective Hamiltonian are cancelled with the assistance of a strong classical field, thus the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field.     

Generation of Superpositions of Coherent States Along a Straight Line via Raman Interaction

We present an alternative scheme for preparing the superpositions of coherent states along a straight line of a cavity field using degenerate atom-cavity field Raman interaction. In the scheme, a collection of A-type three-level atoms is orderly sent through the cavity to interact with the cavity field adjusted by a microwave source connected to it, followed by state-selective measurements. In this way, we can prepare the superpositions of several coherent states along a straight line with arbitrary weighting factors for the cavity field. In the scheme, the coherence of the atom-cavity system may be maintained and the second microwave field is unnecessary, which is prior to the previous scheme.

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.     

Strong-Driving-Assisted Preparation of Superpositions of Two-Mode Coherent States in Cavity QED

A scheme is proposed for preparing the superposition of two-mode coherent states with controllable weighting factors along a straight line for two-mode cavity field. In this scheme two-level atoms driven by classical field are sent through a two-mode cavity initially in the vacuum state. Then the detection of the atoms make the cavity field be in a two-mode superpositions of coherent states.
