Unitary decoupling treatment of a quadratic bimodal cavity quantum electrodynamics model

Abstract

We consider a two-photon quantum model of radiation-matter interaction between a single two-level atom and a degenerate bimodal high-Q cavity field. Within this tripartite system the explicit construction of two collective radiation modes, one of which freely evolving and the other one quadratically coupled to the matter subsystem, is reported. Meaning and advantages of such a decoupling treatment are carefully discussed.

Nonclassical features in the dynamics of a new quadratic quantum model of the radiation - matter interaction in a confined space

Anna Napoli, ANTONINO MESSINA

We introduce a new solvable effective Hamiltonian model describing a two-level atom coupled to a bimodal degenerate cavity field by two-photon processes. We study the evolution of the system assuming the atom and one mode in their respective ground states and the other mode in an excited Fock state. We find that the dynamics of the system displays nonclassical behaviour exhibiting, in particular, a peculiar sensitivity to the parity of the initial number of photons. We show that this quantum effect may be exploited to generate the amplification of an initially given small difference in the mode populations also enabling the preparation of quantum superpositions of macroscopically distinct field states.

Dynamics for two atoms interacting with intensity-dependent two-mode quantized cavity fields in the ladder configuration

Sudha Singh, C. H. Raymond Ooi, Amrita Amrita

Exact solutions are obtained for a collective model of two identical two-level atoms interacting with a quantized bimodal field with intensity-dependent coupling terms in a lossless cavity. A unitary transformation method is used to solve the time-dependent problem that also gives the eigensolutions of the interaction Hamiltonian. The atomic population dynamics and the dynamics of the photon statistics of the two cavity modes are studied. We present evidence of cooperative effects.

Atom-mediated effective interactions between modes of a bimodal cavity

F. O. Prado, F. S. Luiz, J. M. Villas-Bôas +3 more

We show a procedure for engineering effective interactions between two modes in a bimodal cavity. Our system consists of one or more two-level atoms, excited by a classical field, interacting with both modes. The two effective Hamiltonians have forms similar to beam-splitter and quadratic beam-splitter interactions. We also demonstrate that the nonlinear Hamiltonian can be used to prepare an entangled coherent state, also known as a multidimensional entangled coherent state, which has been pointed out as an important entanglement resource. We show that the nonlinear interaction parameter can be enhanced considering $N$ independent atoms trapped inside a high-finesse optical cavity.

Local entanglement in a bimodal high- Q cavity: Production and utilization

Anna Napoli, Antonio Messina

A new conditional scheme for entangling the two quantized modes of a bimodal high-Q cavity field is presented. We show that, injecting one at time k atoms inside the cavity, it is possible to guide the field toward k-dependent linear combinations of k + 1 bimodal Fock states, each one possessing the same total number of photons. The two simple cases corresponding to the passage of one or two atoms only through the resonator are considered. Their practical feasibility against cavity losses, spontaneous emission and other sources of imprecision of the experimental set-up is discussed. Two examples illustrating the usefulness of and the interest toward the creation of such a local entanglement, are reported. The first one relates the specific features of these bimodal entangled states to the occurrence of a non-classical correlation effect in the dynamics of a two-level atom interacting with the entangled cavity. The second one demonstrates that the peculiar entanglement initially stored in the cavity in accordance with our method, provides an effectively exploitable resource to entangle two spatially separated cavities.

Bilinear and quadratic Hamiltonians in two-mode cavity quantum electrodynamics

F. O. Prado, N. G. de Almeida, M. H. Y. Moussa +1 more

In this work we show how to engineer bilinear and quadratic Hamiltonians in cavity quantum electrodynamics through the interaction of a single driven two-level atom with cavity modes. The validity of the engineered Hamiltonians is numerically analyzed even when considering the effects of both dissipative mechanisms, the cavity field and the atom. The present scheme can be used, in both optical and microwave regimes, for quantum state preparation, the implementation of quantum logical operations, and fundamental tests of quantum theory.

Interaction of bimodal fields with few-level atoms in cavities and traps

ANTONINO MESSINA, Sabrina Maniscalco, Anna Napoli

The spectacular experimental results of the last few years in cavity quantum electrodynamics and trapped-ion research has led to very-high-level laboratory performances. Such a stimulating situation essentially stems from two decisive advancements. The first is the invention of reliable protocols for the manipulation of single atoms. The second is the ability to produce desired bosonic environments on demand. This progress has led to the possibility of controlling the form of the coupling between individual atoms and an arbitrary number of bosonic modes. As a consequence, fundamental matter-radiation interaction models, for instance, the Jaynes-Cummings model and most of its numerous nonlinear multiphoton generalizations, have been realized or simulated in the laboratory and their dynamic features have been tested more or less in detail. This topical paper reviews the state of the art of the theoretical investigations and of the experimental observations concerning the dynamic features of the coupling between single few-level atoms and two bosonic modes. In the course of the paper we show that such a configuration provides an excellent platform for investigating various quantum intermode correlation effects tested or testable in the cavity quantum electrodynamics and trapped ion experimental realms. In particular we discuss a mode-mode correlation effect appearing in the dynamics of a two-level atom quadratically coupled to two bosonic modes. This effect, named the parity effect, consists of a high sensitivity to the evenness or oddness of the total number of bosonic excitations.
