Quantum Entanglement Dynamics of Two Atoms in Two Coupled Cavities

Quantum entanglement dynamics for two atoms trapped in two coupled cavities is investigated.Numerical results show that the present of the two atomic excitations is mainly accounted for the entanglement-sudden-death(ESD) effect with the two cavities initially in the vacuum.The entanglement can also be controlled by the hopping rate and the imbalances between the two atom-cavity coupling rates.     

The Dynamics of Quantum Correlations Between Two Atoms in Two Coupled Cavities

The dynamics of the quantum correlation between two atoms in two single-mode cavities is studied. For the initial Bell state |Ψ ⁺〉, the quantum consonance is equal to the entanglement, and larger than quantum discord. For the initial Bell state |Φ ⁺〉, the quantum consonance is larger than entanglement, but not larger than quantum discord all the time. As the increase of the cavity-cavity coupling strength, the evolution period of quantum correlation becomes smaller. Consonance is not smooth at some points while cavities are coupled with each other.     

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensed and Excited Atoms in a Quantized Cavity

The dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensed and excited atoms in a cavity interacting with quantized electromagnetic field of single mode is studied for both the cases with and without dissipation. It is shown that the frequencies of oscillation between the condensed atomic state and an excited state are related to the number of Bose-Einstein condensed atom in a certain form. This relation may be used for the reliable detection of the appearance of the Bose-Einstein condensate.     

The Dynamics of Quantum Discord and Entanglement of Three Atoms Coupled to Three Spatially Separate Cavities

In this paper, we study the dynamics of quantum discord and entanglement of three identical two-level atoms simultaneously resonantly interacting with three spatially separate single-mode of high-Q cavities respectively. Taking advantage of the depiction quantum discord and entanglement of formation (EoF), we conclude that the discord and entanglement of atoms and cavities can be mediated by changing some parameters and the maximum values of discord and entanglement are independent on the couplings of cavities and atoms. In particular, there also exists quantum discord sudden death as well as entanglement sudden death and the time interval of the former is shorter than that of the later in the proposed quantum system. It is shown that the discord and entanglement of any two atoms among three atoms can be transferred to the corresponding cavities, and there exists discord and entanglement exchanging between the atoms and the corresponding cavities.     

Scattering of Light Exotic Atoms in Excited States

The scattering of light exotic atoms in excited states (n = 2–5) from hydrogen has been calculated in a close-coupling model. For the first time, the absorption cross sections for hadronic atoms due to Stark collisions have been calculated by taking the shifts and widths of the nS states into account in a self-consistent quantum mechanical framework. A classical-trajectory Monte Carlo method has been used to calculate the scattering of exotic atoms from molecular hydrogen for n≥8. The Coulomb transitions with Δn>1 are found to be the dominant deexcitation mechanism at the initial stage of the cascade.     

激发态Rb原子间的碰撞能量转移

脉冲激光器激发Rb原子到5P_1/2态,通过碰撞能量转移Rb(5P_1/2)+Rb(5S_1/2)Rb(5P_3/2)+Rb(5S_1/2)产生5P_3/2原子,研究了5P_1/2+5P_1/2,5P_3/2+5P_3/2,5P_1/2+5P_3/2的碰撞能量合并产生态的过程。5P_1/2态原子密度利用Rb空心阴极灯通过光学吸收方法得到,而5P_3/2态密度通过5P_3/25S_1/2(D2线)与5P_1/25S_1/2(D₁线)跃迁的荧光比得到。因为5P_3/2+5P_3/2或5P_1/2+5P_3/2的能量和与5D态的能量差远小于5P_1/2+5P_1/2与5D态的能量差,因此5P_3/2+5P_3/2,5P_1/2+5P_3/2的过程将影响5P_1/2+5P_1/2的测量结果。由于精细结构能量转移的时间比5D态寿命小得多,故5P_1/2+5P_1/2,5P_1/2+5P_3/2和5P_3/2+5P_3/2产生的5D5P荧光是同时产生的。在不同的池温下测量了积分荧光信号的相对强度,5P态原子有效寿命由辐射陷获的理论得到,结合激发态原子密度得到了5P_1/2+5P_1/2,5P_1/2+5P_3/2和5P_3/2+5P_3/2碰撞能量合并截面分别为7.810-15,2.9×10-14和3.1×10-14 cm2。结果表明5P_1/2+5P_3/2与5P_3/2+5P_3/2产生5D_3/2态的截面基本是相等的。     

Scheme for Entanglement Generation of Two Atoms in Two Bad Cavities

We present a scheme for generation of two-atomic entangled state by using the interference of polarized photons. The scheme does not require complete mapping between the atomic state and the photonic state, nor does it require the establishment of maximal entanglement between the atom and the cavity. And the atom-cavity coupling strength is smaller than the cavity decay rate. This greatly relaxes the requirement on the cavity quality. The scheme is for non-post-selection results and all the steps of the scheme are within the current technologies.     

On the Absence of Excited Eigenstates of Atoms in QED

For the standard model of QED with static nuclei, nonrelativistic electrons and an ultraviolet cutoff, a new simple proof of absence of excited eigenstates with energies above the groundstate energy and below the ionization threshold of an atom is presented. Our proof is based on a multi-scale virial argument and exploits the fact that, in perturbation theory, excited atomic states decay by emission of one or two photons. Our arguments do not require an infrared cutoff (or regularization) and are applicable for all energies above the groundstate energy, except in a small (α-dependent) interval around the ionization threshold. also at IHES, Bures-sur-Yvette.

Excited Atoms in the Flash Photolysis of some Germanium Compounds

We have recently reported measurements of the rates of the collisional relaxation of various atoms amongst the spin-orbit components of their ground electronic states; an approximate correlation exists with other types of molecular energy transfer.^1-3 We present here an outline of some qualitative observations of the production and relaxation of Ge(4¹D₂) and Ge(4³P_j) in the flash photolysis of a number of germanium compounds. Atomic germanium vas selected for study because the ground state comprises a ‘normal’ Landé multiplet and should exhibit ‘Inverted’ relaxation as compared for example to Fe(a⁵D_j) which equilibrates initially in the high energy substates. The low lying states of germanium are listed In table 1.⁴ The flash photolysis apparatus was of standard design^1-3 and spectra were recorded with a Hilger medium quartz spectrograph.

Scattering Processes of Excited Muonic Atoms by Molecular Hydrogen

The coupled-channel approach of an excited exotic atom scattering from a hydrogen molecule in the rigid-rotator approximation is developed. The K-matrix method is used to solve the set of coupled collisional equations in the space-fixed (SF) framework for the systems pμ+H₂, dμ+D₂, pμ+D₂, and dμ+H₂. The elastic and Stark mixing cross-sections for scattering on molecular ortho- and para-states are calculated for the principle quantum number n = 2 and collisional energies E≥0.1 eV.

Generation of Three-Dimensional Entangled States for Two Atoms Trapped in Different Cavities

We propose a scheme for generating three-dimensional entangled states for two atoms trapped in two separate cavities. The scheme is based on the detection of photons leaking from the cavities after the atom-cavity interaction. The scheme is useful for the test of quantum nonlocality and quantum information processing.     

Establishment of Entanglement for Two Atoms Trapped in Two Distant Bad Cavities

A scheme is presented for generation of entangled states for two atoms trapped in two distant bad cavities. The scheme can work with bad cavities with the coupling strength smaller than the cavity decay rate, which is important from the viewpoint of experiment. In the scheme the atoms have no probability of being populated in the excited state and thus the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed, which increases the probability of success. The fidelity of the entangled state is not affected by the detection eflciency. Furthermore, the scheme does not require the detection of the left-polarized photon and right-polarized photon at the same time.
