Generation of Cluster States in Cavity QED

We propose two schemes for the generation of cluster states in the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED）. In the first scheme, we prepare multi-cavity cluster states with information encoded in the coherent states. The second scheme is to generate multi-atom cluster states, where qubits axe represented by the states of cascade Rydberg atoms. Both the schemes axe based on the atom-cavity interaction and the atomic spontaneous radiation can be efficiently reduced since the cavity frequency is largely detuned from the atomic transition frequency.     

通过Raman相互作用制备三个腔场的W型纠缠相干态

通过对比分立变量量子信息过程和连续变量量子信息过程的差别,利用相干态比较容易获得的这个特点,提出一种方案制备三个腔场的W型纠缠相干态.方案基于Λ型三能级原子与单模腔场的简并Raman 相互作用.三个相同的腔初始分别处于相干态,三个相同的原子初始处于W型纠缠态,通过三个原子分别与三个腔的Raman相互作用、选择适当的相互作用时间并探测作用后的三个原子,三个腔场坍缩为W型纠缠相干态.在原子与腔的相互作用过程中原子不处于高能级,可以忽略原子的自发辐射,系统的相干性能够得到较好的维持.基于当前的腔量子电动力学技术,相信方案能在实验上实现.该方案制备的三个腔场W型纠缠相干态有望在连续变量量子信息过程中有重要的应用价值.文中将方案推广到制备n(n〉3)个腔场的W型纠缠相干态.     

Quantum Teleportation via Hybrid Entangled States

In this paper, we study quantum teleportation of atomic states via a hybrid entangled state (HES) involving an atom and a cavity field. And we investigate how to implement controlled phase (CP) gates between atomic internal states and coherent states of cavity field. We also discuss the methods of distinguishing coherent states |±α〉in a cavity. Finally, a brief discussion about the feasibility of this scheme in experiment is presented.     

Generation of superpositions of coherent states for an atomic sample in cavity QED

This paper proposes a scheme for generation of superpositions of coherent states of the effective bosonic mode in a collection of atoms. In the scheme an atomic sample interacts with a slightly detuned cavity mode and a resonant strong classical field. Under certain conditions the atomic system evolves from a coherent state to a superposition of coherent states.     

Two Feasible Schemes for Preparing Cluster States with Ion-Trap Setup

We present two schemes for preparing cluster states with atomic qubits in an ion-trap system. In the first scheme an auxiliary atomic level is needed. While in the second scheme an additional classical driven field is used, and the multi-ion cluster states can be generated by one step. Both the schemes are insensitive to thermal motion of the ions, all the facilities used in them are well within state of the art.     

原子薛定谔猫态中角动量的压缩及其时间演化

在低Q值腔内，原子相干态在一些特定时刻可以演化为原子薛定谔猫态.讨论了在这种原子薛定谔猫态中原子角动量的涨落和高阶涨落.根据不确定性原理，进一步研究了原子角动量的压缩和高阶压缩性质及其演化.研究表明，原子薛定谔猫态可以被压缩到二阶和六阶，但不能被压缩到四阶.当原子薛定谔猫态中被叠加的原子相干态数为无限多项时，其压缩特性与原子相干态相同. 关键词： 原子相干态 薛定谔猫态 角动量压缩 Bloch态     

Quantum Logic Gates and Cluster States with Four-level Atoms in Cavity QED

We propose a model to implement the two-qubit quantum logic gates, i.e., the quantum phase gate and the Controlled-NOT gate, and generate the atomic qubits cluster states with a large detuned interaction between four-level atoms and a single-mode cavity field. In the presented protocol, the quantum information is encoded on the stable ground states of the atoms, and the effect of decoherence from atomic spontaneous emission is negligible. In addition, the interaction between atoms and the cavity is large detuned, and the cavity is only virtually excited. Therefore, the scheme is insensitive to the cavity decay. The experimental feasibility of our proposal is also discussed.     

Laser controlled tunneling in a vertical optical lattice

Raman laser pulses are used to induce coherent tunneling between neighboring sites of a vertical 1D optical lattice. Such tunneling occurs when the detuning of a probe laser from the atomic transition frequency matches multiples of the Bloch frequency, allowing for a spectroscopic control of the coupling between Wannier-Stark (WS) states. In particular, we prepare coherent superpositions of WS states of adjacent sites, and investigate the coherence time of these superpositions by realizing a spatial interferometer. This scheme provides a powerful tool for coherent manipulation of external degrees of freedom of cold atoms, which is a key issue for quantum information processing.     

Generation of atomic Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and cluster states through cavity-assisted interaction

This paper proposes a scalable scheme to generate n-atom GHZ states and cluster states by using the basic building block, i.e., a weak coherent optical pulse [α） being reflected successively from a single-atom cavity. In the schemes, coherent state of light is used instead of single photon source, homodyne measurement on coherent light is done kastead of single photon detection, and no need for individually addressing keeps the schemes easy to implement from the experimental point of view. The successful probabilities of our protocols approach unity in the ideal case.     

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.

Preparation of Entanglement of Atoms and of Photons via Cavity Input-Output Process

We propose a method to prepare multipartite entangled states such as cluster states and graph states based on the cavity input-output process and single photon measurement. Two quantum gates, a controlled phase gate and a fusion gate between two atoms trapped in respective cavities, are proposed to prepare atomic cluster states and graph states with one and two dimensions. We also introduce a scheme that can generate an arbitrary multipartite photon duster state which uses two coherent states as a qubit basis.     

Conditional Synthesis of Entangled Coherent States with Continuous External Pumping in a Dispersive Cavity QED

The interaction of $N$ two-level atoms with both a two-mode cavity field and an external classical pumping field, and with the fields being degenerate in frequency, is studied in the regime where the atoms and fields are highly detuned. This dispersive interaction can be used to generate a large number of important entangled coherent states conditional on the initial atomic states and state-selective measurements. A dynamical relation is established between the results for the case with continuous pumping and the case without external driving where the coherent field is put in as the initial condition.     

Generation of Different Classes of Multipartite Entanglement Using Cavity-QED

Using a system of cavity quantum electrodynamics(QED) we present two schemes for multipartite entanglement generation. In the first scheme, a three-level atom is interacting with three cavities successively. In the second one, two three-level atoms are interacted with a coherent optical cavity. These protocols allow us to generate the six classes of tripartite entanglement(GHZ, W, A-B-C, AB-C, C-AB, and B-AC class states) by controling the interaction time between atoms and cavities. Moreover, they allow us to generate entanglement between the cavity fields degrees of freedom(from the first scheme), and a mixed entanglement between the cavity field degrees of freedom and the atomic degrees of freedom.     

Preparation and control of entangled states in the two-mode coherent fields interacting with a moving atom via two-photon process

We investigate the preparation and the control of entangled states in a system with the two-mode coherent fields interacting with a moving two-level atom via the two-photon transition. We discuss entanglement properties between the two-mode coherent fields and a moving two-level atom by using the quantum reduced entropy, and those between the two-mode coherent fields by using the quantum relative entropy. In addition, we examine the influences of the atomic motion and field-mode structure parameter $p$ on the quantum entanglement of the system. Our results show that the period and the duration of the prepared maximal atom-field entangled states and the frequency of maximal two-mode field entangled states can be controlled, and that a sustained entangled state of the two-mode field, which is independent of atomic motion and the evolution time, can be obtained, by choosing appropriately the parameters of atomic motion, field-mode structure, initial state and interaction time of the system.

Generation of Four-Mode Cluster-Type Entangled Coherent States in Free-Traveling Optical Fields

In this paper, we propose an optical scheme to generate four-modecluster-type entangled coherent states (ECSs) in free traveling optical fields by using two single-photon sources, coherent state sources, beam splitters, photodetectors, cross-Kerr media, and phase shifters. And the success probability of the states preparation is calculated. At last we discuss the experimental feasibility of such proposal.     

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 Four-Photon Coherent State via Degenerate Raman Interaction

A scheme is presented for generating a four-photon coherent state via the degenerate Raman interaction. The scheme does not need classical fields to manipulate the atoms. Its another advantage is that the atomic spontaneous emission can be neglected. Therefore, the coherence of the system may be better maintained. The scheme can be generalized to generate superposition of 2ⁿ coherent states and superposition of 2ⁿ two-mode coherent states. The coherent states in each mode are on a circle symmetrically.
