Entanglement created by spontaneously generated coherence

Zhao-Hong Tang, Gao‐xiang Li, Z. Ficek

Published Dec 29, 2010• 26 citations

Abstract

We propose a scheme that is able to generate on demand a steady-state entanglement between two nondegenerate cavity modes. The scheme relies on the interaction of the cavity modes with driven two- or three-level atoms, which act as a coupler to build entanglement between the modes. We show that, in the limit of a strong driving, it is crucial for the generation of entanglement between the modes to imbalance populations of the dressed states of the driven atomic transition. In the case of a three-level $V$-type atom, we find that a stationary entanglement can be created on demand by tuning the Rabi frequency of the driving field to the difference between the atomic transition frequencies. The resulting degeneracy of the energy levels, together with the spontaneously generated coherence, generate a steady-state entanglement between the cavity modes. It is shown that the condition for the maximal entanglement coincides with the collapse of the atomic system into a pure trapping state. We also show that the creation of entanglement depends strongly on the mutual polarization of the transition atomic dipole moments.

Preparation of steady-state entanglement via a laser-excited resonant interaction

Guangling Cheng, Aixi Chen, Jun Geng +2 more

In this paper we propose a scheme in which two-mode entanglement in a steady state is produced by using two lasers to resonantly drive a single four-level atom embedded inside a two-mode optical cavity. In this scheme, atomic coherence induced by a classical laser plays an important role in the process of preparing the entangled state. With the coupling of a strong control field, direct two-photon transition is generated and the relatively weak pump field induces the parametric interaction between two photons, which makes them entangle with each other. By numerical calculation, we find that the degree of entanglement depends strongly on the Rabi frequencies of the classical laser fields and the cavity losses.

Generation of two-mode entangled coherent states via a cavity QED system

Qing-Xia Mu, Yonghong Ma, Ling Zhou

A scheme is presented for the generation of entangled coherent states in a single-atom cavity-QED system. In the scheme, a three-level V -type atom interacts dispersively with a two-mode cavity and is driven by a classical field. We show that under large detuning conditions the cavity field can evolve into maximally entangled coherent states when one cavity mode is initially prepared in an odd coherent state. The effect of the cavity losses on the entanglement is also studied.

Engineering steady-state entanglement via dissipation in coupled cavities

Zhao Jin, Shi‐Lei Su, Ai‐Dong Zhu +2 more

Abstract We present a scheme for the dissipative preparation of an entangled steady state between two atomic qubits separately trapped in the coupled cavities. The combination of coherent driving fields and dissipative processes will drive the system into a steady state. By choosing different frequency of classical laser field, the target steady state can be generated in different ways. In our scheme, the atomic spontaneous emission and the cavity decay can be used as a prerequisite. The numerical simulation shows that the maximally entangled state with high fidelity and purity can be produced regardless of the initial state. The fidelity is insensitive to the fluctuation of the system parameters.

Steady-state two-atom entanglement in a pumped cavity

Hideomi Nihira, Carlos R. Stroud

In this paper we explore the possibility of a steady-state entanglement of two two-level atoms inside a pumped cavity by taking into account cavity leakage and the spontaneous emission of photons by the atoms. We describe the system in the dressed state picture in which the coherence is built into the dressed states while transitions between the dressed states are incoherent. Our model assumes the vacuum Rabi splitting of the dressed states to be much larger than any of the decay parameters of the system which allows atom-field coherence to build up before any decay process takes over. We show that, under our model, a pumping field cannot entangle two closed two-level atoms inside the cavity in the steady-state, but a steady-state entanglement can be achieved with two open two-level atoms.

Qing-Xia Mu, Yonghong Ma, Ling Zhou

In this paper, we present a scheme to generate an entangled coherent state by considering a three-level Λ- type atom interacting with a two-mode cavity driven by classical fields. The two-mode entangled coherent state can be obtained under large detuning conditions. Considering the cavity decay, an analytical solution is deduced.
