Abstract

A recent proposal producing superpositions of two truncated phase states in a high- Q microwave cavity has been presented. The scheme was based on dispersive interactions of two-level Rydberg atoms with a single mode field inside a cavity. Here we consider a simplified scheme doing the same, via Raman interaction of the field with degenerate three-level atoms. The extension to 2 K phase states components ( K >1) is discussed.

Generation of Superpositions of Atomic Coherent States Through Raman Atom-Field Interaction

Zheng Shi-Biao

We propose a scheme for the generation of superpositions of collective atomic coherent states. In the scheme a collection of degenerate -type three-level atoms is confined in a high- cavity and interacts with the cavity field in a Raman manner. Then a state reduction on the field collapses the atomic system onto a superposition state.

Generation of Superpositions of Coherent States Along a Straight Line via Raman Interaction

Zhen‐Biao Yang

We present an alternative scheme for preparing the superpositions of coherent states along a straight line of a cavity field using degenerate atom-cavity field Raman interaction. In the scheme, a collection of Λ-type three-level atoms is orderly sent through the cavity to interact with the cavity field adjusted by a microwave source connected to it, followed by state-selective measurements. In this way, we can prepare the superpositions of several coherent states along a straight line with arbitrary weighting factors for the cavity field. In the scheme, the coherence of the atom-cavity system may be maintained and the second microwave field is unnecessary, which is prior to the previous scheme.

Preparation of Highly Squeezed States and Multi-component Entangled Coherent States via the Raman Interaction

Zheng Shi-Biao

A method is presented for generating highly squeezed states of a cavity field via the atom-cavity field interaction of the Raman type. In the scheme a sequence of three-level -type atoms interacts with a cavity field, displaced by a classical source, in a Raman manner. Then the atomic states are measured. By this way the cavity field may collapse onto a superposition of several coherent states, which exhibits strong squeezing. The scheme can also be used to prepare superpositions of many two-mode coherent states for two cavity fields. The coherent states in each mode are on a straight line. This is the first way for preparing multi-component entangled coherent states of this type in cavity QED.

Photon-number-state generation with a single two-level atom in a cavity: a proposal

P. Domokos, M. Brune, J. M. Raimond +2 more

A single two-level atom can be used to prepare an arbitrary photon number state (Fock state) in a high Q cavity . The atom undergoes a controlled succession of interactions with two cavity modes. One of them contains a coherent field. The atom transfers photons one by one from this field to the initially empty second mode. The scheme can be extended to prepare a quantum superposition of the vacuum with a Fock state, a highly non-classical situation. We discuss the feasibility of the experiment with our present Rydberg-atom cavity QED set-up.

Evolution Laws of the V-type Three-level Atoms Interacting with Two Mode Cavity Field and Generation of Schrdinger cat states

Hong-Yi Dai

Interaction of a V-type three-level atom with two mode fields is studied in detail. Under large-detuning condition, the ground state can be adiabatically eliminated, i.e., this model may be converted into a non-degenerate Raman coupled model which an effective two-level atom interacts with two mode cavity fields. We derive the modified effective Hamiltonian and their wave functions of both non-degenerate Raman coupled and a degenerate Raman coupled model respectively. Based on state-selective measurements on V-type three-level atoms crossing the cavity, We present a new scheme of generation of Schrdinger cat states which are made up of superposition of the coherent states with controllable weighting factors and phases, through Raman interaction of degenerate V-type three atoms with one cavity field.

Single-Mode Cavity-QED of a Raman Interaction

N. Nayak, Saad S. M. Hassan, Biswas, T.

We consider a single Rydberg atom having two degenerate levels interacting with the radiation field in a single-mode ideal cavity. The transition between the levels is carried out by a $Λ$-type degenerate two-photon process via a third level far away from single-photon resonance. At the start of interaction, the atom is considered to be in a coherent superposition of its two levels and the field in a coherent state. We study the dynamics of the atomic as well as the field states. The squeezing in the quadratures of atomic states can reach up to $100\%$. The cavity field evolves to a statistical mixture of two coherent fields with the phase difference between them decided by the interaction time. Analysis of entropies of the atom and the field shows that the two systems are dis-entangled periodically in certain cases.
