Generation of Photon Number States on Demand via Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

S. Brattke, Benjamin T. H. Varcoe, HERBERT WALTHER

Many applications in quantum information or quantum computing require radiation with a fixed number of photons. This increased the demand for systems able to produce such fields. We discuss the production of photon fields with a fixed photon number on demand. The first experimental demonstration of the device is described. This setup is based on a cavity quantum electrodynamics scheme using the strong coupling between excited atoms and a single-mode cavity field.

The Deterministic Generation of Photons

HERBERT WALTHER

Applications in quantum information and quantum cryptography require radiation sources capable of producing photons in a deterministic way. This paper reviews experiments using cavity quantum electrodynamics directed towards this aim and performed in our laboratory. Two methods will be described. One uses the one-atom maser, and the other, trapped ions in an optical cavity. In order to generate photons on demand, the one-atom maser operates under the condition of the so-called trapping states. In this situation the field of the micromaser stabilizes to photon number states. Thus, the quantum states of the radiation field become directly visible. Hence, the one-atom maser is the only experiment to show a spectrum of photon quantum states. In the second experiment, the strong localization and position control achievable in an ion trap is combined with an optical cavity in a cavity quantum electrodynamic experiment leading to a big step forward towards a deterministic photon source in the visible spectral region.

Mean excitation numbers due to the anti-rotating term in cavity QED under Lindbladian dephasing

Alexandre V. Dodonov

We study the photon generation from an arbitrary initial state in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) due to the combined action of the anti-rotating term present in the Rabi Hamiltonian and Lindblad-type dephasing. We obtain a simple set of differential equations describing this process and deduce useful formulae for the moments of the photon number operator, demonstrating analytically that the average photon number increases linearly with time in the asymptotic limit.
