Generation of quantum switch and nonlocal fields with an external field in a high quality dispersive cavity

We present a scheme to prepare an optical “quantum switch”, a superposition of “open” and “closed” states. The scheme is based on the interaction of an Λ-type three-level atom with a single-mode of quantized cavity field and an external classical driving field, in the regime where the atom and fields are highly detuned. We show how this interaction can be used to generate coherent states of the cavity field in contrast to the usual method used in microwave cavity QED of injecting a coherent state into a cavity. A combination of switches could be used to prepare a quantum superposition of coherent field states located simultaneously in two cavities. Compared with previous proposals, our scheme is simplified due to economizes the Ramsey zone and the time required for the state generation is short.     

A Scheme for Teleportation of an Unknown Entangled Coherent State via Raman Interaction

Enhancement of feasibility of macroscopic quantum superposition state with the quantum Rabi-Stark model

We propose an efficient scheme to generate a macroscopical quantum superposition state with a cavity optomechanical system, which is composed of a quantum Rabi-Stark model coupling to a mechanical oscillator. In a low-energy subspace of the Rabi-Stark model, the dressed states and then the effective Hamiltonian of the system are given. Due to the coupling of the mechanical oscillator and the atom-cavity system, if the initial state of the atom-cavity system is one of the dressed states, the mechanical oscillator will evolve into a corresponding coherent state. Thus, if the initial state of the atom-cavity system is a superposition of two dressed states, a coherent state superposition of the mechanical oscillator can be generated. The quantum coherence and their distinguishable properties of the two coherent states are exhibited by Wigner distribution. We show that the Stark term can enhance significantly the feasibility and quantum coherence of the generated macroscopic quantum superposition state of the oscillator.     

Efficient nonlocal two-step entanglement concentration protocol for three-level atoms in an arbitrary less-entangledW state using cavity input-output process

We present an efficient two-step entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for three-level atoms trapped in one-sided optical micro-cavities in an arbitrary three-particle less-entangled W state, using the coherent state input-output process in low-Q cavity quantum electrodynamics system. In each step of the new proposed protocol, one of the three remote users prepares the auxiliary coherent optical pulses to perform cavity input-output process and then utilizes the standard homodyne measurement to discriminate the final outgoing coherent states. When both of the two steps are successful, remote parties can deterministically concentrate the less-entangled W state atoms to a standard maximally entangled W state. Compared with previous ECPs for W state, this protocol has some advantages and can be widely used in current quantum repeater and some quantum information processing tasks.

Superposition of Fock states via adiabatic passage in a coupled four-level atom－cavity system

We have investigated the behaviour of an atom－cavity system via a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage technique in a four-level system, in which two dark states are present. We find, because of the coherent control field, that a superposition of Fock states can be prepared, even when the cavity is initially not in its vacuum state. This method provides a way to generate arbitrary quantum states of a cavity field.     

Interaction of pair coherent state with a three-level Λ-type atom and generation of a modified Bessel-Gaussian state with a vortex structure

The evolution of a system state is derived based on the nonresonant interaction of a three-level "Λ" type atom with two cavity modes at a pair coherent state and two classic fields, and a cavity field state is analysed in detail under conditional detecting. It is found that the quantized modified Bessel-Gaussian states as well as the superposition states consisting of the quantized vortex states with different weighted coefficients may be prepared through carefully preparing an initial atomic state and appropriately adjusting the interaction time. The scheme provides an additional choice to realize the two-mode quantized vortex state within the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED).

Quantum state engineering by superpositions of coherent states along a straight line with a single atomic state measurement

A new scheme is proposed for preparation of a type of nonclassical state in cavity QED. In the scheme, an atom either flying through or trapped within a cavity, is controlled by the classical Stark effect; this makes it interact alternately with a (resonant) classical field and with the (dispersive) cavity field. The cavity field, which allows an arbitrary displacement operation during the process, after the detection on the atom, finally collapses to the specific superpositions of coherent states, with their weighting factors controllable. The scheme is also applied for preparation of superpositions of motional coherent states for a trapped ion. The scheme is in contrast to all the previous ones, and thus provides a new perspective for quantum state engineering.     

Quantum phase properties of the field in a micromaser: Effect of cooperative atomic interactions, cavity losses and pump fluctuations

In this paper, we study the effect of cooperative atomic interactions, cavity losses, and pump fluctuations on quantum phase properties of the field in a one-photon micromaser. We consider, initial coherent state of the radiation field and atoms initially in the excited and coherent superposition of their atomic states, respectively. We find that quantum phase properties of the field in a micromaser are highly sensitive to two-atom events and cavity losses. Both contribute to the randomization of the well-defined phase structure associated with the initial coherent state. However, the approach towards the randomization is quite different in the two cases. We also find that the fluctuations, associated with the random injection of the atoms, affect the phase structure of the coherent state.     

Preparation of Macroscopic Quantum Superposition States of Cavity Modes Using rf-SQUIDs in a Cavity

We propose a potential scheme of preparing Schrödinger-cat state of the cavity mode by placing an rf-superconducting quantum interference device (rf-SQUID) in a single-mode microwave cavity. By properly adjusting the detuning and the strength regarding the radiation fields, we show how to generate single-mode Schrödinger-cat state. Generalizing this method we discuss the generation of the engtangled coherent states. The experimental feasibility of our scheme is discussed under consideration of the cavity decay.     

Capacitive coupling of atomic systems to mesoscopic conductors

We describe a technique that enables a strong, coherent coupling between isolated neutral atoms and mesoscopic conductors. The coupling is achieved by exciting atoms trapped above the surface of a superconducting transmission line into Rydberg states with large electric dipole moments that induce voltage fluctuations in the transmission line. Using a mechanism analogous to cavity quantum electrodynamics, an atomic state can be transferred to a long-lived mode of the fluctuating voltage, atoms separated by millimeters can be entangled, or the quantum state of a solid-state device can be mapped onto atomic or photonic states.     

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.
