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.     

The effect of environment induced pure decoherence on the generalized Jaynes-Cummings model

We have studied the effect of environment induced pure decoherence on the generalized Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM). This generalized JCM is introduced to take into account both atom-field interaction and a class of spin-orbit interactions in the same framework. For generalized JCM with atom-field interaction, it is shown that along with the suppression of the oscillatory behaviour of the atomic and field variables, in the steady state, atomic energy is transferred to the field or vice versa through the dressed state coherence depending on the initial condition of the atom-field system and the model under consideration. It is also shown that initial Poissonian field acquires a sub-Poissonian character in the steady state and thus all the nonclassical properties are not erased by the decoherence in JCM. An interesting effect of this decoherence mechanism is that it affects the population and coherence properties of the individual subsystem in a different way. As an example of generalized JCM with spin-orbit interaction, the dynamics of spin of the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field is studied to show the effect of decoherence.

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.     

Thermal Entanglement Between a Jaynes-Cummings Atom and an Isolated Atom

We studied the entanglement of a quantum system consisting of a Jaynes-Cummings atom, thermal lossless cavity and an isolated atom. The analytical expressions of the atom-atom negativity for separable and entangled initial atomic states were obtained. The influence of a detuning between the atomic transition frequency and the field frequency and direct dipole-dipole interaction on an atom-atom entanglement is examined. We showed that for a separable initial atomic states a detuning might cause high atom-atom entanglement in the presence of the dipole-dipole interaction. We also obtained that for an entangled initial atomic state a detuning causes a stabilization of an entanglement oscillations both for model with dipole-dipole interaction and model without such interaction.     

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.

Entropy and variance squeezing of two coupled modes interacting with a two-level atom: Frequency converter type

A modified Jaynes-Cummings model which consists of a two-level atom interacting with two modes of the electromagnetic field is introduced. More precisely we have considered a Hamiltonian model that includes two types of interaction: One is the field-field (frequency converter type) and the other is the atom-field interaction. By invoking a canonical transformation an exact solution of the wave function in the Schrödinger picture is obtained. The result presented in this context is used to discuss the atomic inversion as well as the entropy squeezing and variance squeezing phenomena. We have shown that the existence of the second field coupling parameter reduces the amount of squeezing in all quadratures, while the effect of the detuning parameter would lead to the superstructure phenomenon which becomes more pronounced upon increasing the mean photon numbers, in the states which are taken to be converter 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。     

The entropy of entangled three-level atoms interacting with entangled cavity fields: Entanglement swapping

The dynamics of an entangled atomic system, partially interacting with entangled cavity fields and characterizing an entanglement swapping, has been studied through their von Neumann entropies. The aforementioned interaction is implemented via a two-photon process, given by either the full microscopical Hamiltonian approach or the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model. Numerical simulations furnish the explicit expressions for each sub-system entropy, which allow us to estimate the multiperiodicity in the evolution of the entangled atom-field system. The effects of the detuning parameter upon the period and the amplitude of the entropies are also discussed as well as the power spectrum of the entropy.     

Cross correlation between the two modes in two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field

The temporal evolution of both the atomic population inversion of an effective two-level atom and the cross correlation between the two modes in two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field are investigated. To analyse the dynamical evolution of the atom-radiation system a quantum treatment of the internal and external dynamics of the atom is presented based on an alternative su(2) dynamical algebraic structure. By solving the Schr?dinger equation in the interaction picture, the evolving state of the system is found by which the influence of the gravitational field on the dynamical behavior of both the atomic population inversion of an effective two-level atom and the cross correlation between the two modes of the radiation field are explored. Assuming that initially the radiation field is prepared in the coherent state for each mode and an effective two-level atom is in a coherent superposition of the excited and ground states, the influence of gravity on both the atomic population inversion of an effective two-level atom and the cross correlation between the two modes of the radiation field are studied.     

Quantum instability in cavity QED

The stability and instability of quantum evolution are analyzed in the interaction of a two-level atom with a quantized-field mode in an ideal cavity with allowance for photon recoil, which is the basic model of cavity QED. It is shown that the Jaynes-Cammings quantum dynamics can be unstable in the regime of the random walk of the atom in the quantized field of a standing wave in the absence of any interaction with the environment. This instability is manifested in large fluctuations of the quantum entropy, which correlate with a classical-chaos measure, the maximum Lyapunov exponent, and in the exponential sensitivity of the fidelity of the quantum states of the strongly coupled atom-field system to small variations of resonance detuning. Numerical experiments reveal the sensitivity of the atomic population inversion to the initial conditions and to correlation between the quantum and classical degrees of freedom of the atom.     

Entanglement Dynamics of Two Atoms in the Squeezed Vacuum and the Coherent Fields

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two atoms in a double damping Jaynes-Cummings model. The two atoms are initially in the Bell states and each is in a squeezed vacuum cavity field or coherent cavity field. Compared with the case in coherent field, the atomic entanglement in the squeezed vacuum field is stronger under the same conditions. The results show that we can adopt appropriate parameters such as mean photon number, detuning, the atomic spontaneous decay and the cavity decay, to realize better control of atomic entanglement in quantum information processing. What’s worth mentioning is that proper choosing of the last two parameters enables us to decrease disentanglement period and postpone the moment when the entanglement disappears. Finally, the atomic entanglement in double damping and non-identical Jaynes-Cummings model is obtained

     

Dynamics of dispersive photon-number QND measurements in a micromaser

A numerical analysis of dispersive quantum nondemolition measurement of the photon number of a microwave cavity field is presented. Simulations show that a key property of the dispersive atom-field interaction used in Ramsey interferometry is the extremely high sensitivity of the dynamics of atomic and field states to basic parameters of the system. When a monokinetic atomic beam is sent through a microwave cavity, a qualitative change in the field state can be caused by an uncontrollably small deviation of parameters (such as atom path length through the cavity, atom velocity, cavity mode frequency detuning, or atom-field coupling constants). The resulting cavity field can be either in a Fock state or in a super-Poissonian state (characterized by a large photon-number variance). When the atoms have a random velocity spread, the field is squeezed to a Fock state for arbitrary values of the system’s parameters. However, this makes detection of Ramsey fringes impossible, because the probability of detecting an atom in the upper or lower electronic state becomes a random quantity almost uniformly distributed over the interval between zero and unity, irrespective of the cavity photon number.     

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.     

Effective dynamics for two-atom entanglement and quantum information processing by coupled cavity QED systems

We propose a scheme for deterministic generation of entanglement embodied by two L\Lambda -type atoms distributed in two coupled cavities. We study such a system in the dispersive atom-field interactions, where the dynamics of the system operates through the virtual population of both the atomic excited states and the photonic states in the cavities (plus the fiber). We verify the validity of the dynamics, and moreover, study the influences of the decoherence due to the spontaneous emission and photon leakage. We also apply the dynamics for realizing quantum state transfer and quantum phase gates.
