Physical Review A

Entanglement preparation and quantum communication with atoms in optical cavities

Abstract

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to generate general entangled states between atoms in spatially separate cavities, and then show one of the applications---a secure communication allowing asymptotically key distribution and quasisecure direct communication. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atoms in a high-$Q$ cavity, adjustable quarter- and half-wave plates, beam splitter, polarizing beam splitters, and single-photon detectors, and well fits the status of the current experimental technology.

Secure direct communication using the polarization entangled atomic ensembles

Peng Xue, Guang‐Can Guo

We propose a scheme with potential experimental realization to generate 'polarization' entanglement between two atomic ensembles and show one of the applications—a novel secure communication allowing asymptotically key distribution and quasisecure direct communication. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atomic ensembles, adjustable quarter- and half-wave plates, beam splitters, polarizing beam splitters and single-photon detectors, and well fits the status of the current experimental technology.

Multipartite entanglement preparation and quantum communication with atomic ensembles

Chao Han, Peng Xue, Guang‐Can Guo

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to generate Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger type of maximal entanglement among three atomic ensembles, and show one of the applications, controlled secure direct communication. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atomic ensembles, quarter- and half-wave plates, beam splitters, polarizing beam splitters, and single-photon detectors, which are within the reach of current experimental technology.

Scheme for preparation of nonmaximal entanglement between two atomic ensembles

Xue, Peng, Guang‐Can Guo

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to generate nonmaximal entanglement between two atomic ensembles. The degree of entanglement is readily tunable. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atomic ensembles, adjustable quarter- and half-wave plates, beam splitter, polarizing beam splitters, and single-photon detectors, and well fits the status of the current experimental technology. Finally we use the nonmaximally entangled state of ensembles to demonstrate quantum nonlocality by detecting the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality.

Nondeterministic scheme for preparation of nonmaximal entanglement between two atomic ensembles

Peng Xue, Guang‐Can Guo

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to generate nonmaximal entanglement between two atomic ensembles. The degree of entanglement is readily tunable. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atomic ensembles; the setup includes adjustable quarter- and half-wave plates, a beam splitter, polarizing beam splitters, and single-photon detectors, and fits well the state of current experimental technology. Finally, we use the nonmaximally entangled state of ensembles to demonstrate quantum nonlocality by detecting the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality.

Quantum Communication between Atomic Ensembles Using Coherent Light

L.-M. Duan, J. I. Cirac, P. Zoller +1 more

Protocols for quantum communication between massive particles, such as atoms, are usually based on making use of nonclassical light, and/or superhigh finesse optical cavities are normally needed to enhance interaction between atoms and photons. We demonstrate a remarkable result: by using only coherent light, entanglement can be generated between distant free space atomic ensembles, and an unknown quantum state can thus be teleported from one to another. Neither nonclassical light nor cavities are needed in the scheme, which greatly simplifies its experimental implementation.

Atom-photon, atom-atom, and photon-photon entanglement preparation by fractional adiabatic passage

M. Amniat-Talab, S. Guérin, Nicolas Sangouard +1 more

We propose a relatively robust scheme to generate maximally entangled states of (i) an atom and a cavity photon, (ii) two atoms in their ground states, and (iii) two photons in two spatially separate high-$Q$ cavities. It is based on the interaction via fractional adiabatic passage of a three-level atom traveling through a cavity mode and a laser beam. The presence of optical phases is emphasized.
