Abstract

Analysis of the effects of the spontaneously induced correlation on atom–radiation entanglement in an ensemble of two-level atoms initially prepared in the upper energy level and then trapped in a cavity containing a source of a squeezed radiation employing the method of evaluating the coherent-state propagator is presented. It is found that the cavity radiation exhibits squeezing which is directly attributed to the squeezed radiation initially present in the cavity. The intensity of the cavity radiation increases with the squeeze parameter and interaction time. It is also shown that a substantial degree of entanglement between the atomic state and radiation mode exits at a particular time which depends on the coupling constant and squeeze parameter. It is understood that although the squeezed radiation is directly accountable for the cavity squeezing, it significantly destroys the atom–radiation entanglement induced by the correlation between spontaneously emitted radiation and the atoms.

Effect of decoherence on the radiative and squeezing properties in a coherently driven trapped two-level atom

Sintayehu Tesfa

Analysis of the effects of decoherence on the radiative and squeezing properties of a coherently driven two-level atom trapped in a resonant cavity applying the corresponding master equation is presented. The atomic dynamics as well as the squeezing and statistical properties of the emitted radiation are investigated. It is found that the atom stays in the lower energy level more often at steady state irrespective of the strength of the coherent radiation and thermal fluctuations entering the cavity. Moreover, a strong external coherent radiation results in the splitting of the line of the emission spectrum, whereas the decoherence broadens the width and significantly decreases the height. It is also found that the emitted radiation exhibits photon anti-bunching, super-Poissonian photon statistics and squeezing, despite the presence of the decoherence which is expected to destroy the quantum features.

Externally induced continuous variable entanglement in a correlated emission laser

Sintayehu Tesfa

Analysis of the externally induced quantum features of the cavity radiation of the two-photon correlated emission laser is presented. It turns out that the pumping process induces atomic coherence accountable for observing entanglement in the cavity radiation as well as the nonclassical photon number correlation despite the arising vacuum fluctuations. Even though a significant continuous variable entanglement is obtained near threshold in the strong driving limit, increasing the amplitude of the driving radiation more than required for a fixed value of the linear gain coefficient is found to degrade the degree of entanglement. The two-mode squeezing of the superimposed radiation, entanglement of the cavity radiation and mean number of photon pairs increase with the rate at which the atoms are injected into the cavity, but the nonclassical photon number correlation decreases. Moreover, the mean photon number corresponding to the transition from the upper energy level to the intermediate is found to be greater than the transition from the intermediate to the lower. With conceivable practical challenges, it is in principle possible to generate an intense continuous variable entanglement and quantify it via photon count measurements.

Dynamics of the cavity radiation of a correlated emission laser initially seeded with a thermal light

Sintayehu Tesfa

A detailed analysis of the time evolution of the two-mode squeezing, entanglement and intensity of the cavity radiation of a two-photon correlated emission laser initially seeded with a thermal light is presented. The dependences of the degree of two-mode squeezing and entanglement on the intensity of the thermal light and time are found to have a more or less similar nature, although the actual values differ, especially in the early stages of the process and when the atoms are initially prepared with nearly 50:50 probability to be in the upper and lower energy levels. Seeding the cavity degrades the nonclassical features significantly, particularly in the vicinity of t=0. It is also shown that the mean photon number in a wider time span has a dip when mode b is seeded but a peak when mode a is seeded. Moreover, it turns out that the effect of the seed light on the nonclassical features and intensity of the cavity radiation decreases significantly with time, an outcome essentially attributed to the pertinent emission–absorption mechanism. This can be taken as an encouraging aspect in the practical utilization of this model as a source of a bright entangled light.

Preparing entangled states of two atoms through the intensity-dependent interaction with the two-mode squeezed vacuum

Fuli Li, Peng Peng, Zhang‐qi Yin

Two four-level atoms resonantly interacting with a two-mode squeezed vacuum field through the intensity-dependent Jaynes–Cummings-like model are considered. It is shown that the atoms can evolve into pure entangled states at certain time. Moreover, the pure entangled states can probabilistically be projected onto extremely entangled states by quantum jump technique. It is shown that the success probability monotonously increases with increasing degree of squeezing without any decoherence processes. However, it is found that if decoherence processes such as atomic spontaneous emission and photon leakage out of the cavity take place, the total success probability first increases but then decreases with increasing degree of squeezing and finally approaches zero as the squeezing becomes stronger and stronger. Therefore, the high degree of squeezing in the initial state of the cavity field is not always helpful for a high probability of creating extremely entangled states when spontaneous emission and cavity decay exist. Given spontaneous emission and photon leakage rates, there is an optimal squeezing degree for which the total success probability becomes maximum.

Investigation of Non-Classical Properties of the Radiation Field in the Interacting Atom-Field System in the Presence of Kerr Nonlinearity and Vacuum-Induced Coherence

Zahra Musavi Madani, M. H. Naderi

In this paper, we study the possibility of controlling the stationary entanglement and squeezing between the two modes of a cavity by spontaneously generated coherence in the three level atoms in the presence of the Kerr nonlinearity. We show that the correlation between the two modes increases for some values of the nonlinearity coupling parameter in the presence of dissipative processes. In addition, the entanglement and the squeezing between the two modes increase when the resonance condition between the atom and the field is fulfilled.

Coherence-controlled stationary entanglement between two atoms embedded in a bad cavity injected with squeezed vacuum

Xiang-Ping Liao, Jianshu Fang, Mao-Fa Fang

Abstract We investigate the entanglement between two atoms in an overdamped cavity injected with squeezed vacuum when these two atoms are initially prepared in coherent states. It is shown that the stationary entanglement exhibits a strong dependence on the initial state of the two atoms when the spontaneous emission rate of each atom is equal to the collective spontaneous emission rate, corresponding to the case where the two atoms are close together. It is found that the stationary entanglement of two atoms increases with decreasing effective atomic cooperativity parameter. The squeezed vacuum can enhance the entanglement of two atoms when the atoms are initially in coherent states. Valuably, this provides us with a feasible way to manipulate and control the entanglement, by changing the relative phases and the amplitudes of the polarized atoms and by varying the effective atomic cooperativity parameter of the system, even though the cavity is a bad one. When the spontaneous emission rate of each atom is not equal to the collective spontaneous emission rate, the steady-state entanglement of two atoms always maintains the same value, as the amplitudes of the polarized atoms varies. Moreover, the larger the degree of two-photon correlation, the stronger the steady-state entanglement between the atoms.
