Abstract

The possibilities of cavity-assisted quantum storage based on control-field angular manipulation during off-resonant Raman interaction between a single-photon pulse and a strong control field in a polyatomic system are discussed.

Quantum memory via phase-matching control

Olga A. Kocharovskaya, Xiwen Zhang, А. А. Калачев

We suggest a new approach to quantum memory, based on control of the phase matching via continues variation in time of the wave vector of the control field during the processes of writing and read-out of the single photon wave-packet.

Multimode cavity-assisted quantum storage via continuous phase-matching control

А. А. Калачев, Olga A. Kocharovskaya

A scheme for spatial multimode quantum memory is developed such that spatial-temporal structure of a weak signal pulse can be stored and recalled via cavity-assisted off-resonant Raman interaction with a strong angular-modulated control field in an extended $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type atomic ensemble. It is shown that effective multimode storage is possible when the Raman coherence spatial grating involves wave vectors with different longitudinal components relative to the paraxial signal field. The possibilities of implementing the scheme in the solid-state materials are discussed.

Quantum storage based on control-field angular scanning

Xiwen Zhang, А. А. Калачев, Olga A. Kocharovskaya

Continuous change of the propagation direction of a classical control field in the process of its off-resonant Raman interaction with a weak signal field in a three-level atomic medium is suggested for quantum storage of a single-photon wave packet. It is shown that due to the phase-matching condition such an angular control allows one to reversibly map the single-photon wave packet to the Raman spatial coherence grating. Thus, quantum storage and retrieval can be realized without using inhomogeneous broadening of the atomic transitions or manipulating the amplitude of the control field. Under some conditions the proposed scheme proves to be mathematically analogous to the quantum storage scheme based on controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening of the atomic states.

Cavity-assisted spontaneous emission of a single three-level atom as a single-photon source

M. Khanbekyan, Dirk‐Gunnar Welsch

Stimulated Raman interaction of a classically pumped single three-level $Λ$-type atom in a resonator cavity featuring both radiative and unwanted losses is studied. It is shown that in the regime of stimulated adiabatic Raman passage the excited outgoing wave packet of the cavity-assisted electromagnetic field can be prepared in a one-photon Fock state with high efficiency. In this regime, the spatio-temporal shape of the wave packet does not depend on the interaction shape of the pump field, provided that the interaction of the atom with the pump is time-delayed with respect to the interaction of the atom with the cavity-assisted field. Therefore, the scheme can be used to generate a sequence of identical radiation pulses each of almost one-photon Fock state. It is further shown that the spatio-temporal shape of the outgoing wave packet can be manipulated by controlling the time of interaction between the atom and the cavity-assisted electromagnetic field.
