A linear atomic quantum coupler

Abstract

In this paper, we develop the notion of the linear atomic quantum coupler. This device consists of two modes propagating into two waveguides, each of them includes a localized and/or a trapped atom. These waveguides are placed close enough to allow exchanging energy between them via evanescent waves. Each mode interacts with the atom in the same waveguide in the standard way, i.e. as the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), and with the atom-mode in the second waveguide via evanescent wave. We present the Hamiltonian for the system and deduce the exact form for the wavefunction. We investigate the atomic inversions and the second-order correlation function. In contrast to the conventional linear coupler, the atomic quantum coupler is able to generate nonclassical effects. The atomic inversions can exhibit long revival-collapse phenomenon as well as subsidiary revivals based on the competition among the switching mechanisms in the system. Finally, under certain conditions, the system can yield the results of the two-mode JCM.

Evolution of the two-mode entangled states with an atomic coupler

Gharib Subhi Mahmoud Ahmed, Azeddine Messikh, Taher S. Hassan

We develop a model to investigate the behavior of atomic coupler consists of two waveguides, each of which includes a localized or a trapped atom with a two-mode pair coherent state source. The waveguides are placed close enough to each other to allow energy exchange between them. The two atoms, in the different waveguides, are located adjacent to each other. In each waveguide, one mode propagates along and interacts with the atom inside in a standard way as the Jaynes- Cummings model (JCM). The atom-mode system, in each waveguide, interacts with the other one via the evanescent wave. Pair coherent states (PCS) are one of the most important states in quantum information theory since it includes sufficient entanglement causing the violation of the Bell inequality. Moreover, the PCS possesses prominent nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian statistics, correlation in the number fluctuations, squeezing and violations of the Cauchy Schwartz inequalities

Atomic coupler with two-mode squeezed vacuum states

Azeddine Messikh, Gharib Subhi Mahmoud Ahmed, Bakhram Umarov +1 more

We investigate the entanglement transfer from the two-mode squeezed state (TMS) to the atomic system by studying the dependence of the negativity on the coupling between the modes of the waveguides. This study is very important since the entanglement is an important feature which has no classical counterpart and it is the main resource of quantum information processing. We use a linear coupler which is composed of two waveguides placed close enough to allow exchanging energy between them via evanescent waves. Each waveguide includes a localized atom.

Classical and quantum correlations in thermal Jaynes-Cummings model

Sougato Bose, I. Fuentes-Guridi, P. L. Knight +1 more

Summary form only given. We study the behavior of classical and quantum correlations between a two level atom and a quantised electromagnetic field mode in a thermal state interacting according to the Jaynes Cummings model (JCM). This model predicts collapses and revivals of Rabi oscillations which is also seen in experiments, providing direct evidence for the quantum mechanical nature of the electromagnetic field. It also has an analytical solution for arbitrary coupling constants and can easily be extended to include a variety of initial conditions,dissipation and damping, multiple atoms, multilevel atoms, multimode fields and more elaborated interactions such as multiphoton or intensity-dependent interaction.

The Jaynes–Cummings Revival

Bruce W. Shore, P. L. Knight

. The Jaynes-Cummings Model (JCM), a soluble fully quantum mechanical model of an atom in a field, was first used (in 1963) to examine the classical aspects of spontaneous emission and to reveal the existence of Rabi oscillations in atomic excitation probability for fields with sharply defined energy (or photon number). For fields having a statistical distribution of photon numbers the oscillations collapse to an expected steady value. In 1980 it was discovered that with appropriate initial conditions (e.g. a near-classical field), the Rabi oscillations would eventually revive – only to collapse and revive repeatedly in a complicated pattern. The existence of these revivals, present in the analytic solutions of the JCM, provided direct evidence for discreteness of field excitation (photons) and hence for the truly quantum nature of radiation. Subsequent study revealed further nonclassical properties of the JCM field, such as a tendency of the photons to antibunch. Within the last two years it has been found that during the quiescent intervals of collapsed Rabi oscillations the atom and field exist in a macroscopic superposition state (a Schrödinger cat). This discovery offers the opportunity to use the JCM to elucidate the basic properties of quantum correlation (entanglement) and to explore still further the relationship between classical and quantum physics.
