Externally induced continuous variable entanglement in a correlated emission laser

Abstract

Analysis of the externally induced quantum features of the cavity radiation of the two-photon correlated emission laser is presented. It turns out that the pumping process induces atomic coherence accountable for observing entanglement in the cavity radiation as well as the nonclassical photon number correlation despite the arising vacuum fluctuations. Even though a significant continuous variable entanglement is obtained near threshold in the strong driving limit, increasing the amplitude of the driving radiation more than required for a fixed value of the linear gain coefficient is found to degrade the degree of entanglement. The two-mode squeezing of the superimposed radiation, entanglement of the cavity radiation and mean number of photon pairs increase with the rate at which the atoms are injected into the cavity, but the nonclassical photon number correlation decreases. Moreover, the mean photon number corresponding to the transition from the upper energy level to the intermediate is found to be greater than the transition from the intermediate to the lower. With conceivable practical challenges, it is in principle possible to generate an intense continuous variable entanglement and quantify it via photon count measurements.

Continuous variable entanglement in a coherently pumped correlated emission laser

Sintayehu Tesfa

Analysis of the effects of external pumping on the quantum features of cavity radiation of the two-photon correlated emission laser is presented. It turns out that the pumping process induces the atomic coherence responsible for the entanglement of the cavity radiation as well as the correlation between the photon numbers belonging to different modes, despite the arising vacuum fluctuations. The photon number correlation is found to be very close to 2 where the entanglement is relatively better. Moreover, the mean number of photon pairs decreases with the amplitude of the driving radiation which is one of the practical limitations associated with the pumping mechanism. It is also shown that the mean photon number of the radiation in mode b is less than one-third of that in mode a.

Effect of dephasing on quantum features of the cavity radiation of an externally pumped correlated emission laser

Sintayehu Tesfa

Analysis of the effects of dephasing on quantum features of the cavity radiation of externally pumped correlated emission laser is presented. It turns out that entanglement and nonclassical photon number correlations are strongly reliant on the rate at which the atomic coherent superposition decays specially when the amplitude of the driving radiation is smaller. It is, particularly, found that almost perfectly entangled light can be generated while the rate of dephasing and the amplitude of the external driving radiation are kept low in case the atoms are initially prepared in possible maximum coherence. It is also found that the nonclassical behavior of the photon correlation associated with the violation of Cauchy-Schwarz inequality decreases with the rate of dephasing except for some values of the amplitude of the driving radiation.

Role of externally induced coherent superposition in demonstrating quantum nonlocality in a correlated emission laser

Sintayehu Tesfa

Analysis of the effects of external pumping on the quantum features, including entanglement, quantum nonlocality and nonclassical photon number correlations, of the cavity radiation of a correlated emission laser is presented. It turns out that the contribution of externally induced coherent superposition in demonstrating quantum nonlocality is significant. Despite the available evidence that entangled states can exhibit nonlocality for certain values of the rate at which the atoms are injected into the cavity and amplitude of the driving radiation, a direct relation between the degree of entanglement and quantum nonlocality cannot be established. However, it seems likely to make a consistent connection between the Cauchy–Schwarz and Bell–Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequalities. It is evident that comparison among various nonclassical correlations enhances the understanding of the otherwise intricate quantum theoretical predictions.

Effects of decoherence on entanglement in a correlated emission laser

Sintayehu Tesfa

We present the analysis of the effects of decoherence on quantum features of the cavity radiation of the two-photon-correlated emission laser, employing the stochastic differential equations associated with the normal ordering. We study how a thermal noise entering the cavity affects the squeezing, entanglement amplification, mean number of photon pairs and intensity difference in the cavity radiation. It turns out that the generated light exhibits a two-mode squeezing and entanglement when initially there are more atoms at the lower level, even when the cavity is coupled to a thermal reservoir. It is also found that though the thermal noise entering the cavity degrades the squeezing and entanglement, it significantly increases the mean number of photon pairs of the superimposed radiation.

Dynamics of the cavity radiation of a correlated emission laser initially seeded with a thermal light

Sintayehu Tesfa

A detailed analysis of the time evolution of the two-mode squeezing, entanglement and intensity of the cavity radiation of a two-photon correlated emission laser initially seeded with a thermal light is presented. The dependences of the degree of two-mode squeezing and entanglement on the intensity of the thermal light and time are found to have a more or less similar nature, although the actual values differ, especially in the early stages of the process and when the atoms are initially prepared with nearly 50:50 probability to be in the upper and lower energy levels. Seeding the cavity degrades the nonclassical features significantly, particularly in the vicinity of t=0. It is also shown that the mean photon number in a wider time span has a dip when mode b is seeded but a peak when mode a is seeded. Moreover, it turns out that the effect of the seed light on the nonclassical features and intensity of the cavity radiation decreases significantly with time, an outcome essentially attributed to the pertinent emission–absorption mechanism. This can be taken as an encouraging aspect in the practical utilization of this model as a source of a bright entangled light.

Externally induced entanglement amplification in a coherently pumped emission of laser with parametric amplifier and coupled to squeezed vacuum reservoir

Chimdessa Gashu Feyisa, Tamirat Abebe

Abstract Externally induced entanglement amplification in a coherently pumped Correlated Emission Laser (CEL) with parametric amplifier and coupled to a squeezed vacuum reservoir is presented. The combination of the master equation and stochastic differential equation is applied to investigate the entanglement of the correlated two photons generated by the quantum system. The resulting solutions of the correlation properties of noise forces associated with the normal ordering are used to find the mean photon number of the separate cavity modes and their correlation, EPR-pair variables, and smallest eigenvalue of the sympectic matrix. It is found that pumping atoms from the lower energy state to excited state results in a strong entanglement that remains in its maximum strength over a wide range of the strong classical pumping radiation. The introduction of the nonlinear crystal into the laser cavity, and coupling the system to the two-mode squeezed vacuum environment lead to a significant enhancement of entangled cavity light. The entanglement produced is quantified employing logarithmic negativity, Hillary Zubairy and Duan et al criteria. It has been observed that an intense light can be produced where the entanglement is strong. The amount of the entanglement produced is found to be 87% by both Duan et al and logarithmic negativity criteria.
