Nonadiabatic effects on population transfer of two Bose－Einstein condensates induced by atomic interaction

We investigate the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage for Bose－Einstein condensate (BEC) states which are trapped in different potential wells or two ground states of BEC in the same trap. We consider that lasers are nearly resonant with the atomic transitions. The difference of population transfer processes between BEC atoms and usual atoms is that the atomic interaction of the BEC atoms can cause some nonadiabatic effects, which may degrade the process. But with suitable detunings of laser pulses, the effects can be remedied to some extent according to different atomic interactions.     

Rabi oscillations revival induced by time reversal: a test of mesoscopic quantum coherence

Using an echo technique proposed by Morigi et al., we have time-reversed the atom-field interaction in a cavity quantum electrodynamics experiment. The collapse of the atomic Rabi oscillation in a coherent field is reversed, resulting in an induced revival signal. The amplitude of this "echo" is sensitive to nonunitary decoherence processes. Its observation demonstrates the existence of a mesoscopic quantum superposition of field states in the cavity between the collapse and the revival times.     

Generation of maximally entangled atom pairs in driven dissipative cavity QED systems

We investigate the entanglement of an open tripartite system where a cavity field mode in thermal equilibrium is off-resonantly coupled with two atoms that are simultaneously driven by a resonant coherent field. For moderately detuned atom-field coupling and strong atomic driving we show the generation, at given interaction times and for low enough cavity decay rates, of atomic Bell states and of Bell state superpositions relevant for quantum gates implementation. The system can oscillate between bi-separable and fully separable states. Also we describe the distribution of quantum correlations between the atom-atom and the two atom-field subsystems. In the dispersive coupling regime with strongly driven atoms we show the generation of nearly stationary Bell states which remain protected from cavity dissipation.     

Quantum optics phenomena in atomically doped carbon nanotubes

Quantum optics phenomena, including light absorbtion and atomic states entanglement, are discussed for carbon nanotubes doped with atoms (ions). It has been shown that, similar to semiconductor microcavities and photonic band-gap materials, carbon nanotubes may qualitatively change the character of the atom-electromagnetic-field interactions, yielding strong atom-field coupling regime with the formation of quasi-one-dimensional atomic polaritons. These may be observed experimentally via the effect of the absorption line splitting (Rabi splitting) in the frequency range close to the atomic transition frequency. A scheme for entangling atomic polaritons is investigated using the photon Green function formalism for quantizing electromagnetic fields in the presence of quasi-one-dimensional absorbing and dispersing media. Small-diameter metallic nanotubes are shown to result in sizable amounts of the two-qubit atomic entanglement with no damping for sufficiently long times, thus challenging novel applications of atomically doped carbon nanotubes in quantum information science. The text was submitted by the author in English.     

Cold atom dynamics in a quantum optical lattice potential

We study a generalized cold atom Bose-Hubbard model, where the periodic optical potential is formed by a cavity field with quantum properties. On the one hand, the common coupling of all atoms to the same mode introduces cavity-mediated long-range atom-atom interactions, and, on the other hand, atomic backaction on the field introduces atom-field entanglement. This modifies the properties of the associated quantum phase transitions and allows for new correlated atom-field states, including superposition of different atomic quantum phases. After deriving an approximative Hamiltonian including the new long-range interaction terms, we exhibit central physical phenomena at generic configurations of few atoms in few wells. We find strong modifications of population fluctuations and next-nearest-neighbor correlations near the phase transition point.     

Quantum dynamics of an impurity-doped Bose-Einstein condensate system

We study the quantum dynamics of an impurity-doped Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) system. We show how to generate the macroscopic quantum superposition states (MQSSs) of the BEC by the use of projective measurements on impurity atoms. It is found that the nonclassicality of MQSSs can be manipulated by changing the number of the impurities and their interaction with the BEC. It is shown that the BEC matter-wave field exhibits a collapse and revival phenomenon which reveals the quantum nature of the BEC matter-wave field. We investigate the micro-macro entanglement between the impurities and the BEC, and find enhancement of the micro-macro entanglement induced by the initial quantum coherence of the impurity atoms.     

Cavity-mediated entanglement between distant atoms: Effect of spatial dispersion

The decoherence effect of spatial atomic dispersion on entangled states prepared between two non-interacting atoms that pass through a resonant electromagnetic cavity is studied in detail. Entanglement is shown to oscillate with the atom-field interaction time with an amplitude that decays due to inhomogeneous coupling strength. An upper bound for the entanglement that can be obtained using this procedure is introduced and evaluated numerically for different sets of system parameters. This magnitude depends solely on the overlap between atomic wavefunctions evolved according to two different atom-field interactions. Analytical expressions for the associated decay rate are obtained under different approximations.     

Complete entanglement transfer between light and qubits

Using the two-mode two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model, entanglement transfer between atoms and field is studied. It is found that when the field is in state constructed from the two-mode photon number states |00〉,|11〉 or the two-mode squeezed vacuum states, full entanglement exchange can be attained no matter the atoms are initially in pure or mixed states. These investigations show that CV entangled states can act as perfectly as the entangled number states in entangling initially separable atoms. The two-mode two-photon atom-field interaction also provides a simple way for the quantum teleportation of atomic or field states.     

腔场初始态对两量子比特空间退相干的影响

研究了两个二能级原子与一个单模腔场的相互作用中,腔场的不同初始态对原子间相对位置退相干的影响。从描述原子间相对位置状态的约化密度矩阵出发,假设原子间相对位置为两个高斯波包的叠加态,讨论了当腔场初始态分别为热态、Fock态和压缩态情况下,原子与光场的相互作用对两原子间相对位置相干性的影响。发现腔场的初始态不同,原子间相对位置的退相干情况有所不同。当腔场初始态为热态或Fock态时,原子间相对位置的相干性会周期性的衰减和回复,而当腔场初始态为压缩态时,原子间相对位置会出现部分退相干,且退相干程度与原子间相对位置的大小成余弦变化关系。     

Tunneling dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates with higher-order interactions in optical lattice

The nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling and nonlinear Rabi oscillations of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with higher-order atomic interaction between the Bloch bands in an accelerating optical lattice are discussed. Within the two-level model, the tunneling probability of BEC with higher-order atomic interaction between Bloch bands is obtained. We finds that the tunneling rate is closely related to the higher-order atomic interaction. Furthermore, the nonlinear Rabi oscillations of BEC with higher-order atomic interaction between the bands are discussed by imposing a periodic modulation on the level bias. Analytical expressions of the critical higher-order atomic interaction for suppressing/enhancing the Rabi oscillations are obtained. It is shown that the critical value strongly depends on the modulation parameters (i.e., the modulation amplitude and frequency) and the strength of periodic potential.

Atomic nonclassicality in the Jaynes-Cummings model

The Jaynes-Cummings model, a fundamental and ideal paradigm for the study of atom-field interaction with remarkable beauty and complexity, plays an instrumental role in cavity quantum electrodynamics and related experiments. The dynamics of both the atom and the field in this ubiquitous model, which exhibit a number of intriguing nonclassical effects, have been widely studied and engineered from various perspectives. In particular, the collapses and revivals for several physical quantities have been revealed, with important implications for quantum foundations and technologies. In this work, we study the atomic nonclassicality in the Jaynes-Cummings model in terms of an information-theoretic quantifier, reveal its basic features, and compare them with various well known observations of atomic dynamics. The sensitivity of the dynamics on both the initial atomic states and field states indicates rich patterns of atom-field interaction, and may be exploited to estimate, prepare, and engineer atomic states via fields, or vice versa.     

A scheme for the generation of two-mode atomic laser

The quantum dynamic behavior of the system composed of V-type three-level atomic Bose-Einstein con-densate (BEC) interacting with two-mode coherent light field has been studied. The results show that the atoms of V-type three-level atomic BEC, which are excited to higher-level states under the action of light field, still keep their properties of coherent states. It demonstrates theoretically that two-mode atomic laser may be prepared by V-type three-level atomic BEC.

Recurrence Tracking Microscope: Nanoscanning Via Bose–Einstein Condensation

A recurrence tracking microscope works on quantum recurrence phenomena of the wave packet and probes nanostructures on a surface. The important advantage of condensed atoms over cold atoms is the very small distribution size due to the atom–atom interactions. We report a more precise measurement of the quantum revival time. For small nonlinear interatomic interactions, there is a small change in quantum revival times; however, as the interaction becomes stronger, we find visible changes in the revival time. The change in the initial height of the nanoparticles is due to the variation in the revival times at different positions of the cantilever.

A novel scheme of hybrid entanglement swapping and teleportation using cavity QED in the small and large detuning regimes and quasi-Bell state measurement method

We outline a scheme for entanglement swapping based on cavity QED as well as quasi-Bell state measurement(quasiBSM) methods. The atom–field interaction in the cavity QED method is performed in small and large detuning regimes.We assume two atoms are initially entangled together and, distinctly two cavities are prepared in an entangled coherent–coherent state. In this scheme, we want to transform entanglement to the atom-field system. It is observed that, the fidelities of the swapped entangled state in the quasi-BSM method can be compatible with those obtained in the small and large detuning regimes in the cavity QED method(the condition of this compatibility will be discussed). In addition, in the large detuning regime, the swapped entangled state is obtained by detecting and quasi-BSM approaches. In the continuation,by making use of the atom–field entangled state obtained in both approaches in a large detuning regime, we show that the atomic as well as field states teleportation with complete fidelity can be achieved.
