Single molecular magnets as a source of continuous-variable entanglement

Abstract

We study the generation and evolution of continuous-variable entanglement in a single-molecular-magnets (SMM) system, where the quantum coherence effect is induced by two classical electromagnetic fields (pump and control fields). Our numerical results show that the entanglement of cavity fields can be controlled efficiently by tuning the intensity and frequency detuning of control field, and the macroscopic entangled light with long entanglement time can be realized in this SMM system, over a wide range of initial states of the cavity field. This investigation can be used for achieving the macroscopic entangled light in a solid-state medium, which is much more practical than that in an atomic or molecular medium because of its flexible design.

Entanglement of tripartite microwave radiation via quantum coherence in single molecular magnets

Guangling Cheng, Ai-Xi Chen, Wenxue Zhong

We present an alternative scheme for the generation of the entangled microwave radiation with amplification in single triple-Λ five-level molecular magnets driven by two strong control fields and one relative weak pump field. By numerically simulating the dynamics of the system, we show that three fully entangled modes with different frequencies can be obtained in the presence of the relaxations. Our numerical results also show that the entanglement occurs among the three cavity fields with a large number of photons. Physically, the responsible mechanism is quantum coherence. Two strong control fields induce two cavity modes coupled with the strong-driven levels to a quantum beat, and then the relative weak pump field leads to the parametric interaction between such a beat with the third mode coupled with the weak-driven level. The present work provides an efficient approach to achieve tripartite continuous-variable entanglement in the molecular magnets system, which may be necessary for the progress of solid-state quantum information.

Generation of continuous-variable entanglement in a two-mode four-level single-atom driven by microwave

Song Ming-yu, WU Yao-de

In this paper, we discuss the generation and evolution of continuous-variable entanglement in a two-mode single-atom laser, where the atomic coherence is induced by two classical microwave fields, which drive the corresponding fine atomic transitions. The results show that the intensity of the microwave field can influence effectively the entanglement properties of the cavity field. In addition, our numerical results also show that the intensity and the period of entanglement between the two cavity modes as well as the total mean photon number of the cavity field can be increased synchronously by adjusting the corresponding frequency detuning.

This paper investigate the generation and evolution of continuous-variable entanglement in a two-mode single-atom laser, where the atomic coherence is induced by two classical laser fields (pump and coupling field) driving the corresponding atom transitions. It is found that the intensity of the coupling field can influence effectively the entanglement period of the cavity field. More importantly, our numerical results also show that the intensity and period of entanglement between the two cavity modes as well as the total mean photon number of the cavity field can be increased synchronously by adjusting the corresponding frequency detuning.

Continuous-Variable Entanglement in Tunnel-Coupled Double Quantum Wells

Xin‐You Lü, Jibing Liu, Xiangying Hao +2 more

This paper investigates the generation and evolution of continuous-variable entanglement in an asymmetric coupled-quantum well (CQW) system. Our numerical results show that this CQW system can be regarded as a source of macroscopic entangled light over a wide range of initial states of the cavity field. This investigation can be used for achieving the macroscopic entangled light in the CQW solid-state medium, which is much more practical than that in an atomic medium because of its flexible design and the controllable interference strength.

Two-mode single-atom laser as a source of entangled light

Martin Kiffner, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy, Jörg Evers +1 more

A two-mode single-atom laser is considered, with the aim of generating entanglement in macroscopic light. Two transitions in the four-level gain medium atom independently interact with the two cavity modes, while two other transitions are driven by control laser fields. Atomic relaxation as well as cavity losses are taken into account. We show that this system is a source of macroscopic entangled light over a wide range of control parameters and initial states of the cavity field.

N-qubitW state of spatially separated single molecule magnets

Xin‐You Lü, Peijun Song, Ji-Bing Liu +1 more

A simple scheme is proposed to generate a N-qubit W state of spatiall separated single molecule magnets (SMM) in a cavity-fiber-cavity system. In the present scheme, the framework consisting of entangled qubits can be expediently designed according to our needs. By quantitatively discussing the case of N=4, we show that the effects of SMM's spontaneous decay and photon leakage out of fiber can be suppressed in our scheme due to the presence of virtual excited processes in SMM and fiber modes. Moreover, we also show that the present scheme is robust with respect to some deviations of experimental parameters, and as a result, the present investigation provides a research clue for realizing multi-partite entanglement between distant SMMs solid-state nanostructures, which may result in a substantial impact on the progress of multi-node quantum information network.
