Quantum storage of single photons with unknown arrival time and pulse shapes

We present a scheme for the quantum storage of single photons using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a low-finesse optical cavity, assisted by state-selected spontaneous atomic emission. Mediated by the dark mode of cavity EIT, the destructive quantum interference between the cavity input-output channel and state-selected atomic spontaneous emission leads to strong absorption of single photons with unknown arrival time and pulse shapes. We discuss the application of this phenomenon to photon counting using stored light.     

Quantum discord dynamics of two qubits in single-mode cavities

The dynamics of quantum discord for two identical qubits in two independent single-mode cavities and a common single-mode cavity are discussed. For the initial Bell state with correlated spins, while the entanglement sudden death can occur, the quantum discord vanishes only at discrete moments in the independent cavities and never vanishes in the common cavity. Interestingly, quantum discord and entanglement show opposite behavior in the common cavity, unlike in the independent cavities. For the initial Bell state with anti-correlated spins, quantum discord and entanglement behave in the same way for both independent cavities and a common cavity. It is found that the detunings always stabilize the quantum discord.     

Efficient scheme for entangled states and quantum information transfer with trapped atoms in a resonator

A protocol is proposed to generate atomic entangled states and implement quantum information transfer in a cavity quantum electrodynamics system. It utilizes Raman transitions or stimulated Raman adiabatic passages between two systems to entangle the ground states of two three-state Λ-type atoms trapped in a single mode cavity. It does not need the measurements on cavity field nor atomic detection and can be implemented in a deterministic fashion. Since the present protocol is insensitive to both cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission, it may have some interesting applications in quantum information processing.

von Neumann Mutual Information for Anisotropic Coupled Oscillators Interacting with a Single Two-Level Atom

We consider the interaction between a two-level atom and two electromagnetic fields injected simultaneously within a cavity, with the interaction between the fields in parametric frequency-converter form. The wave function in Schr ödinger picture is obtained under certain conditions and consequently the density matrix. By employing a generalization of the von Neumann mutual information (in the context of Tsallis' nonextensive statistics) we measure the degree of entanglement for the present system. An important change is observed in the generalized mutual information depending on the entropic index. We also measure the minimum degree of entanglement during the transition from collapse to revival and vice-versa. Successive revival peaks show a lowering of the local maximum point indicating a dissipative irreversible change in the atomic state.     

Controlled phase gates based on two nonidentical quantum dots trapped in separate cavities

We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit controlled phase gates on two nonidentical quantum dots trapped in separate cavities. In our scheme, each dot simultaneously interacts with one highly detuned cavity mode and two strong driven classical fields. During the gate operation, the quantum dots undergo no transition, while the system can acquire different phases conditional on different states of the quantum dots. With the application of the single-qubit operations, two-qubit controlled phase gates can be realized.     

Quantum Information Transfer from a Double Quantum Dot System to a Cavity Field＊

In this paper, we propose a scheme to realize quantum information transfer from a double quantum dot （DQD） system to a quantized cavity field. The DQD and the cavity field are treated as a two-state charge qubit and a continuous-variable system, respectively. It is shown that quantum information encoded in the two-state DQD system can be transferred to quantum states of the cavity field with a continuous-variable basis through appropriate projective measurements with respect to the DQD.

Remote preparation of atomic and field cluster states from a pair of tri-partite GHZ states

We propose two simple and resource-economical schemes for remote preparation of four-partite atomic as well as cavity field cluster states.In the case of atomic state generation,we utilize simultaneous resonant and dispersive interactions of the two two-level atoms at the preparation station.Atoms involved in these interactions are individually pair-wise entangled into two different tri-partite GHZ states.After interaction,the passage of the atoms through a Ramsey zone and their subsequent detection completes the protocol.However,for field state generation we first copy the quantum information in the cavities to the atoms by resonant interactions and then adapt the same method as in the case of atomic state generation.The method can be generalised to remotely generate any arbitrary graph states in a straightforward manner.     

Generation of a Genuine Six-Atom Entangled State in Cavity QED

We propose a potential scheme to generate a genuine six-atom entangled state [J. Phys. A 42 (2009) 415301] by using atoms in cavity QED system, where the atoms interact simultaneously with the highly detuned single-mode cavity and the strong classical driving field. Thus our approach is insensitive to both the cavity decay and thermal field.     

Evolution Properties of Atomic Fidelity in the Combined Multi-Atom-Cavity Field System

The atom fidelity is investigated in a system consisting of Mtwo-level atoms and M single-mode Gelds by use of complete quantum theory and numerical evaluation method.The influences of various system parameters on the evolution of atomic Sdelity are studied.The results show that the atomic Sdelity evolves in a Rabi oscillation manner.The oscillation frequency is mainly modulated by the coupling strength between atoms and light Geld,the atomic transition probabilities and the average photon numbers.Other factors hardly impact on the atomic fidelity.The present results may provide a useful approach to the maintenance of the atomic Sdelity in the atom cavity Seld systems.     

Scheme for Implementing Controlled Dense Coding with Six-Atom Cluster State in Cavity QED

We propose an experimentally feasible protocol for implementing controlled dense coding with a six-atom cluster state in cavity QED. In the scheme, we investigate that the atoms interact simultaneously with the highly detuned single-mode cavity and the strong classical driving field, and thus our scheme is not sensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field. In addition, the four-atom entangled states can be exactly distinguished by performing the single-atom measurements in cavity QED, therefore our scheme might be implemented in a simple way.     

Dynamical Change of Quantum Fisher Information of Cavity-Reservoir Systems

We study the quantum Fisher information(QFI) dynamics of the phase parameter in the enlarged cavityreservoir systems at zero temperature under two situations of large N limit and non-Markovian environment,respectively.We find an important relation that the total quantities of QFI of the cavity and reservoir are equal to unit during the dynamical evolution.The lost QFI of the cavity transfers to its corresponding reservoir with the same quantities simultaneously.Moreover,we also find that the detuning parameter and non-Markovian effect are two significant factors to affect the preservation of QFI.

Entanglement transfer via the Raman atom-cavity-field interaction

For the Raman interaction between an atom and a two-mode cavity field prepared in the state |01> or |10> , the atom and the field can be disentangled periodically. Such a property of Raman atom-field interaction allows the full entanglement transfer among many atoms and bimodal cavities. In the calculations, each atom is assumed to interact with its own cavity at a different time and so non-identical atoms can be treated conveniently. Entanglement sudden death is discussed too. Though atom-field interaction greatly changes the values of the concurrence for two atoms, configuration of the concurrence is almost not affected. When there is entanglement sudden death, atoms and cavities can still be entangled with one another. However, full entanglement transfer cannot be achieved for such systems with Raman atom-field interaction.     

Scheme for Implementing Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm Using Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices

We propose a physical scheme for implementing the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm with superconducting quantum interference devices （SQUIDs） in cavity-QED. The scheme is based on SQUID coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity field or classical microwave pluses. The scheme is very simple and may be realizable experimentally.
