Conditional detection of fluctuations in the light form an atom in a high Q-cavity

Abstract

Analytical expressions for the conditional intensity and quadrature fluctuations of the light from an atom in a high-Q cavity are derived. Fluctuations of both the squeezed and unsqueezed quadratures are shown to be nonclassical.

Measurement of Conditional Squeezing for non-Gaussian fields

Justin E. Vines, Reeta Vyas, Surendra Singh

A scheme based on homodyne detection for measuring conditional quadrature fluctuations for non-Gaussian fields is proposed. Results for light from parametric oscillators and fluorescence from an atom in a high-Q cavity are discussed.

Conditional nonclassical field generation in cavity QED

Karsten Weiher, Elizabeth Agudelo, Martin Bohmann

We introduce a method for the conditional generation of nonclassical states of light in a cavity. We consider two-level atoms traveling along the transverse direction to the cavity axis and show that by conditioning on one of the output measurements nonclassical field states are generated. The two-level atoms are prepared in the ground state and we conditioned them on the events in which they are also detected in the ground state. Nonclassical properties of the cavity mode are identified and characterized. This includes quadrature squeezing, sub-Poissonian photon-number distributions, and negative Wigner functions. We determine the optimal parameter regions where the corresponding nonclassical features are most distinct.

Vacuum fluctuations and the conditional homodyne detection of squeezed light

H. J. Carmichael, Hyunchul Nha

Conditional homodyne detection of quadrature squeezing is compared with standard nonconditional detection. Whereas the latter identifies nonclassicality in a quantitative way, as a reduction of the noise power below the shot noise level, conditional detection makes a qualitative distinction between vacuum state squeezing and squeezed classical noise. Implications of this comparison for the realistic interpretation of vacuum fluctuations (stochastic electrodynamics) are discussed.

Giant Violations of Classical Inequalities through Conditional Homodyne Detection of the Quadrature Amplitudes of Light

H. J. Carmichael, H. M. Castro-Beltrán, G. T. Foster +1 more

Conditional homodyne detection is proposed as an extension of the intensity correlation technique introduced by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss [Nature (London) 177, 27 (1956)]. It detects giant quadrature amplitude fluctuations for weakly squeezed light, violating a classical bound by orders of magnitude. Fluctuations of both quadrature amplitudes are anomalously large. The squeezed quadrature also exhibits an anomalous phase.

Conditional homodyne detection of light with squeezed quadrature fluctuations

Justin E. Vines, Reeta Vyas, Surendra Singh

We discuss the detection of field quadrature fluctuations in conditional homodyne detection experiments and possible sources of error in such an experiment. We also present modifications to these experiments to help eliminate such errors and extend their range of applicability.

Manipulation of quantum noise in a cavity atom system, observations and interpretation

Hans‐A. Bachor, D. M. Hope, David E. McClelland

The nonlinear coupling between two level atoms, in this case barium, and a near resonant cavity has been used to manipulate the properties of the fluctuations of the light inside and transmitted through this system. Experiments have shown that this system can be used to generate a beam of quadrature squeezed light with useful intensity and significant noise suppression (18% observed, 50 %inferred)1
