Adiabatic Passage of Collective Excitations in Atomic Ensembles

We describe a theoretical scheme that allows for transfer of quantum states of atomic collective excitation between two macroscopic atomic ensembles localized in two spatially-separated domains. The conception is based on the occurrence of double-exciton dark states due to the collective destructive quantum interference of the emissions from the two atomic ensembles. With an adiabatically coherence manipulation for the atom-field couplings by stimulated Rmann scattering, the dark states will extrapolate from an exciton state of an ensemble to that of another. This realizes the transport of quantum information among atomic ensembles.     

基于原子系综集体激发的量子存贮

近几年来,人们从理论和实验两个方面探讨了利用自由原子系综作为量子记忆体的可能性. 基于固定于格点上Λ型“原子”系综的准自旋波激发的研究, 提出了实现光子信息量子存贮的新方案. 这个方案的目标是为了克服自由原子系综量子存贮方案中存在的量子态漏损诱导退相干的致命问题. 研究过程中发现了系综型量子记忆体中隐藏动力学的对称性和其绝热暗态演化的选择定则. 为了确切地表述这个工作的意义,还扼要地介绍这个方案建立的前期关于原子系综对称集体激发的系列工作. In this article we reviews a new protocol of quantum memory based on the quasi pin wave excitation of the Λ systems fixed the sites of lattice. This protocol tries to avoid the disadvantage of the quantum memory scheme based on free atom ensemble, the quantum decoherence induced by the quantum leakage of collective state. Especially,we discover a universal dynamic symmetry hidden in various ensemble based quantum storage scheme. To understand the significance of this work exactly, we also give a brief introduction to our systematical studies on collective symmetric excitons in quantum ensemble,which is the necessary to propose the present scheme for quantum memory.     

Transferring a Multi-atom Entangled State via Adiabatic Passage

We present a scheme for transferring atomic entangled states via adiabatic passage. In the scheme, we use photons to achieve efficient quantum transmission among spatially distant atoms. The probability of the successful transferring quantum state approaches 1. Meanwhile, the scheme is robust against the effects of atomic spontaneous emission.     

Controlled Coherent Quantum Tunneling of Atomic Ensembles

We investigate the coherent tunneling phenomenon of the laser-driven atomic ensembles confined in a well-separated double-well potential. By generalizing the Frohlich canonical transformation to adiabatically eliminate the light field variable, a BCS-like effective Hamiltonian is obtained to depict the residual interaction between the two atomic ensembles. The number of the tunneling collective low excitations and its relationship to the ratios gr/gl and Nr/Nl are given.

Entangling Two Atomic Ensembles Trapped in Separated Cavities

We propose a scheme for the generation of two collections of atoms trapped in distant cavities connected by an optical fiber. The virtual photon exchange leads to the entanglement between these two atomic ensembles. During the operation the atomic system, cavity modes, and fiber are not excited, which is important in view of decoherence.     

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.

Generation of Atomic Cluster State via Adiabatic Evolution of Dark Eigenstates

We propose a scheme to generate atomic cluster states of arbitrary configuration in the cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED） system. The process is achieved via adiabatic evolution of dark states, which only requires adiabatically increasing or decreasing Rabi frequencies of laser. Thus it allows the robust implementation of entanglement against certain types of errors. Our scheme is relatively decoherence-free in the sense that excited atomic states are never populated and excited cavity photon states can be made negligible in certain conditions.

Squeezing Properties of Three-Level Atomic Collective Dipole Phase Quadrature Operators with Respect to Three-Level Atomic Coherent State

We add some useful formulations except for Ref. [4], then investigate the squeezing properties of the atomic collective dipole phase quadrature operators with respect to three-level atomic coherent state in detail. We mainly discuss two extreme cases concerning parameter α and β and obtain some interesting conclusions.     

Efficient Excitation of a Symmetric Collective Atomic State with a Single-Photon Through Dipole Blockade

In the famous quantum communication scheme developed by Duan et al.[L.M.Duan,M.D.Lukin,J.I.Cirac,and P.Zoller,Nature(London) 414(2001) 413],the probability of successful generating a symmetric collective atomic state with a single-photon emitted have to be far smaller than 1 to obtain an acceptable entangled state.Based on strong dipole-dipole interaction between two Rydberg atoms,two simultaneous excitations in an atomic ensemble are greatly suppressed,which makes it possible to excite a mesoscopic cold atomic ensemble into a near-ideal singly-excited symmetric collective state accompanied by a signal-photon with near unity success probability.     

Implementing a Universal Quantum Cloning Machine via Adiabatic Evolution in Ion-Trap System

A scheme for the realization of a universal quantum cloning machine is proposed in this paper. The present protocol does not need the vibrational mode to act as the memory and it is robust against small changes of experimental parameters due to adiabatic passages. Furthermore, the scheme may be realized based on current technology.     

Three-Dimensional Quantum State Transferring Between Two Remote Atoms by Adiabatic Passage under Dissipation

Recently, Zhou et al. [Phys. Rev. A 79 （2009） 044304] proposed a scheme for transferring three-dimensional quantum states between remote atomic qubits confined in cavities connected by fibers through adiabatic passage. In order to avoid the decoherence due to spontaneous emission, Zhou et al. utilized the large detuning atom-field interaction. In the present paper, we discuss the influence of dissipation on the scheme in both the resonant atom-field interaction case and the large detuning case. We numerically analyze the success probability and the transferring fidelity. It is shown that the resonant case is a preferable choice for the technique of the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage （STIRAP） due to the shorter operation time and the smaller probability of dissipation.

Teleportation of an Unknown Atomic State via Adiabatic Passage

We propose a scheme for teleporting an unknown atomic state via adiabatic passage. Taking advantage of adiabatic passage, the atom has no probability of being excited and thus the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed. We also show that the fidelity can reach 1 under certain condition.
