Verifying cross-Kerr induced number squeezing: a case study

David Schmid, Kevin Marshall, Daniel F. V. James

We analyse an experimental method for creating interesting nonclassical states by processing the entanglement generated when two large coherent states interact in a cross-Kerr medium. We specifically investigate the effects of loss and noise in every mode of the experiment, as well as the effect of ‘binning’ the post-selection outcomes. Even with these imperfections, we find an optimal set of currently achievable parameters which would allow a proof-of-principle demonstration of number squeezing in states with large mean photon number. We discuss other useful states which can be generated with the same experimental tools, including a class of states which contain coherent superpositions of differing photon numbers, e.g. good approximations to the state 12(|0⟩+|20⟩). Finally, we suggest one possible application of this state in the field of optomechanics.

Strong micro-macro entanglement from a weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Tian Wang, Hon Wai Lau, Hamidreza Kaviani +2 more

We study the entanglement generated by a weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity between two initial coherent states, one of which has an amplitude close to the single-photon level, while the other one is macroscopic. We show that strong micro-macro entanglement is possible for weak phase shifts by choosing the amplitude of the macroscopic beam sufficiently large. We analyze the effects of loss and discuss possible experimental demonstrations of the micro-macro entanglement based on homodyne tomography and an entanglement witness. We also discuss the macroscopicity of the generated entanglement from the point of view of a recently proposed measure.
