Construction of a matter-light interferometer via the Zeno effect

Abstract

We show that the control of the internal electronic state of a trapped ion in a cavity allows the construction of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in which the interfering modes are a cavity field and the vibrational motion of the ion. The proper control of the internal state of the ion is achieved via the Zeno effect.

Coherent manipulation of motional states of trapped ions

Hao‐Sheng Zeng, Le‐Man Kuang, Kelin Gao

The beam splitter and phase shifter, which are the key elements in the experiments of light interference, are realized in the motion of trapped ions. Some applications, such as the creation of quantum motional states and the realization of Mach-Zehnder interferometer, are illustrated. Several detection methods of motional states used in the interferometer are also discussed.

Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator

D. J. Wineland, Christopher R. Monroe, W. M. Itano +4 more

Coherent manipulations involving the quantized motional and internal states of a single trapped ion can be used to simulate the dynamics of other systems. We consider some examples, including the action of a Mach Zehnder interferometer which uses entangled input states. Coherent manipulations can also be used to create entangled states of multiple trapped ions; such states can be used to demonstrate fundamental quantum correlations.

Multi-ion Mach—Zehnder interferometer with artificial nonlinear interactions

Yan-Min Hu, Wanli Yang, Xing Mao Xiao +2 more

We propose a method to implement a Mach—Zehnder interferometry based upon a string of trapped ions with artificial nonlinear interactions. By manipulating the coupling strength between two involved internal states of the ions, we could achieve the beam splitting/recombination with NOON states. Using current techniques for manipulating trapped ions, we discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme and analyze some undesired uncertainty under realistic experimental environment.

Entanglement between motional states of a single trapped ion and light

F. L. Semião, A. Vidiella-Barranco, José Antonio Roversi

We propose a generation method of Bell-type states involving light and the vibrational motion of a single trapped ion. The trap itself is supposed to be placed inside a high-$Q$ cavity sustaining a single mode, quantized electromagnetic field. Entangled light-motional states may be readily generated if a conditional measurement of the ion's internal electronic state is made after an appropriate interaction time and a suitable preparation of the initial state. We show that all four Bell states may be generated using different motional sidebands (either blue or red), as well as adequate ionic relative phases.

Scheme for Implementing Quantum State Transfer in Cavity QED with Trapped Ion

Shao-Hua Xiang, Zheng Qing-yun

We propose a physical scheme for implementing quantum state transfer utilizing the interaction of a two-level trapped ion with a quantum monomode electromagnetic field within an optical cavity.The results show that by controlling the frequency of cavity field to be resonant with the carrier,quantum information can be transferred between cavity field and the internal state of the ion without the need for the selected measurement of the qubits.Quantum information may also be transmitted from the vibrational state of the ion into cavity mode,from the internal state of the ion into its vibration state, and from a single-qubit state into an entangled bipartite state by means of the measurement on the qubits when we tune the light field to the first blue sideband.A practical model of a quantum network is proposed.Finally,we analyze the experimental feasibility of the present scheme.
