Preservation of atomic coherence in double-well optical lattice in presence of decoherence

Abstract

We present a quantum interference approach to preserve coherence in the external states of an atom trapped in an optical lattice. We show that this is possible by suitably choosing the initial state of the atom. We demonstrate this in context of decoherence due to spontaneous emission in an one-dimensional optical double-well lattice.

Spontaneous-emission-induced transition rates between atomic states in optical lattices

Jean-Félix Riou, Aaron Reinhard, Laura A. Zundel +1 more

We derive a general expression for the spontaneous-emission-induced transition rates between the atomic states of atoms trapped in far-detuned optical potentials, taking into account both their internal and external degrees of freedom. We apply this result to atoms trapped in deep optical lattices. For one- and two-dimensional lattices, we quantify the correlations among excitations in the tightly confined directions, the loosely trapped directions, and the internal state of the atom. We emphasize the differences in excitations between red- and blue-detuned lattices.

Entangling dipole-dipole interactions in optical lattices

Gavin K. Brennen, Ivan Deutsch, Poul Jessen

Summary form only given. Controlled coherent interactions between pairs of neutral atoms can be designed in tight micro-traps such as optical lattices which allow the creation of highly entangled multiparticle states. Such systems benefit from suppressed decoherence because neutrals couple weakly to the environment and the interactions are strictly pairwise. The main source of decoherence is spontaneous emission which can be made negligible if the two atom interactions are performed fast compared to the scattering rate.We have shown the possibility of using induced electric dipole-dipole interactions between pairs of atoms to perform quantum logic gates with high fidelity.

Interference of cold atoms released from an optical lattice

Andrey R. Kolovsky

We study interference of the cold atoms which are released out of the quasi–one-dimensional optical lattice, for the different initial states of the system. In particular, in the case of the Mott-insulator initial state, the atomic-density distribution is shown to exhibit a non-trivial interference pattern, similar to that observed for BEC in double-well potential in the experiment by Andrews et al. ( Science 275 (1997) 637).

Dynamical suppression of spontaneous emission in two-level atom

Zhongjie Wang

Dynamical control of decoherence induced by the environment in a twolevel atom system is investigated.We choose the suitable perturbations acting on the qubit system to decrease the decoherence due to spontaneous emission damping.The scheme proposed here is based on the frequency-displacement technique and the parity-kick technique,which are realized by two homogeneous classical large detuned optical fields with different frequencies added to the system.By applying this scheme,in presence of spontaneous emission,the decoherence can be efficiently suppressed.

Coherent quantum tunnelling and macroscopic superposition states in optical lattices

Ivan Deutsch, Poul Jessen

Summary form only given. The AC-Stark shift of a set of interfering laser beams together with the Zeeman interaction with external magnetic fields provide flexible mechanisms for coherently controlling atomic wave packets. When detuned far from atomic resonance, these optical lattices can trap cold atoms with minimal dissipation and thus provide an ideal environment for observing quantum coherent phenomena. We consider a one dimensional lattice of double wells produced by counterpropagating linearly polarized laser beams and a static magnetic field transverse to the laser wave vectors.

Coherence-preserving control strategy in three-level atom system

Zonghai Chen

The interpretation to the mechanism of interaction of light and matter is used in new quantum devices designing for the optical information storage.For reducing the unexpected decoherence effect in a Λ-typed three-level atom system,the master equation of an atomic system is investigated to find a set of states that have zero spontaneous decay rates.Two laser fields are introduced to prepare the decoherence-free state by using decoherence-free subspace(DFS) strategy to suppress spontaneous emission for the decoupling of the system's state and the environment.Theoretical analysis verifys its effectiveness to coherence-preserving.
