Abstract

We propose a scheme for the determination of entangled states for atom-cavity systems and ion traps. Our scheme provides a means of directly measuring the Wigner function matrix, that contains all the information on a composite system. It is useful for studying quantum correlation between an electronic system and a harmonic oscillator and quantum information processing.

Scheme for direct measurement of the two-mode Wigner function in cavity QED and ion traps.

Shi-Biao Zheng

A scheme is proposed for the reconstruction of two-mode entangled states in cavity QED and ion traps. For a two-mode field we show that the Wigner function can be obtained by measuring the probability of a two-level atom being in ground states after resonant interaction with two classical fields and dispersive interaction with the two-mode cavity field displaced by resonant sources. For the two-dimensional motion of a trapped ion the Wigner function is obtained by measuring the probability of the ion in its ground electronic state after displacing the ion motion and then resonantly exciting the ion.

Determination of entangled quantum states of a trapped atom

Sascha Wallentowitz, R. L. de Matos Filho, W. Vogel

We propose a method for measuring entangled vibronic quantum states of a trapped atom. It is based on the nonlinear dynamics of the system that appears by resonantly driving a weak electronic transition. The proposed technique allows the direct sampling of a Wigner-function matrix, displaying all knowable information on the quantum correlations of the motional and electronic degrees of freedom of the atom. It opens possibilities for testing fundamental predictions of the quantum theory concerning interaction phenomena.

Measurement of the Wigner Characteristic Function for the Center-of-Mass Motion of Two Trapped Ions

Lin Li-Hua, Wang Ling-Zhi, Jiang Yun-kun

We proposed a scheme for the reconstruction of the quantum states for the center-of-mass vibrational mode of two trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are multichromatically excited by three lasers. Then measurement of the difference between probabilities of the ions being both in electronic ground and excited states directly yields the Wigner characteristic function for the center-of-mass vibrational state. The scheme can also be used to prepare entangled coherent states for the center-of-mass and relative vibrational modes.

Simplified Scheme for Measuring the Entangled Vibronic States of a Trapped Ion

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We propose a simplified scheme for measuring the entangled state of the motional and electronic degrees of freedom of an ion trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic potential. The scheme is based on the polychromatic excitation of the ion by three lasers tuned to the carrier, the first lower, and the upper vibrational sidebands, respectively. The method directly yields the elements of the Wigner characteristic function matrix in the electronic basis. The scheme can be easily generalized to the two-dimensional case.

Proposal for Direct Measurement of the Wigner Function of a Cavity Field via Raman Coupling

Zheng Shi-Biao, Xiwen Zhu

We propose a scheme for the reconstruction of a cavity field state. In the scheme the cavity field is first displaced by a microwave source, and then couples with a three-level Λ-type atom in a Raman manner. After an appropriate interaction time the measurement of the difference between the probabilities of the atom being in two ground states directly yields the Wigner function for the field state. The scheme can be easily generalized to measure the Wigner function of an entangled state of two spatially separated single-mode cavities.
