Physical Review A

Reconstruction of an entangled state in a cavity via Autler-Townes spectroscopy

Abstract

We present a scheme to reconstruct a two-mode entangled state in a high-$Q$ cavity from the spontaneous emission spectrum in a driven four-level atomic system. The two modes of the cavity field drive the upper three levels of the atom and thus the spontaneous emission spectrum contains the information about the photon statistics of the cavity field. Wigner function of the driving field is recovered from the photon statistics in a straightforward manner.

Measurement of the Wigner function of a cavity field via Autler-Townes spectroscopy

Mohammad Mahmoudi, H. Tajalli, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We show that the Wigner fuction of a cavity field can be constructed from the spontaneous emission spectrum in driven three-level atomic systems. We consider two configurations, the upper- and lower-level couplings, in which the driving field is the quantized field inside a cavity. In the proposed method, the Wigner function of the driving field is recovered in a straightforward manner, without much mathematical manipulation of the experimental data, from the spontaneous emission spectra.

Quantum-state measurement of two-mode entangled field-state in a high- Q cavity

Ashfaq H. Khosa, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We propose a scheme for the measurement of a two-mode entangled field-state in a high-$Q$ cavity. The scheme utilizes the momentum distribution spectrum in the Raman-Nath regime of a three-level atom in $V$ configuration. Due to the two modes of the electromagnetic field the atom may have $x$ interactions with mode $A$, and $y$ interactions with mode $B$, causing a complex momentum distribution. The momentum distribution of the atom after interaction with the quantized cavity fields contains the information of the field photon statistics. We reconstruct the joint photon statistics of the entangled field with the help of recorded momentum spectrum. We also propose to reconstruct the Wigner function of a two-mode entangled field state by injecting two coherent states resonant to each mode into the cavity and then measuring the joint photon statistics of the displaced field.

Reconstruction of an entangled state in cavity QED

M. S. Kim, G. S. Agarwal

We suggest a scheme to reconstruct a two-mode entangled state in cavity QED by using the interaction of a V-configuration three-level atom and by driving the cavity field. After the atomic interaction with the cavity fields, the probability of the atom being in its initial ground state is found to be directly related to the two-mode Wigner characteristic function. The Wigner function and the four-dimensional density-matrix elements can be obtained for the two-mode entangled field by simple transformations. We consider both the cases where two entangled modes are prepared in one cavity or in two spatially separated cavities.

Proposal for Direct Measurement of the Wigner Function of a Cavity Field via Raman Coupling

Zheng Shi-Biao, Xiwen Zhu

We propose a scheme for the reconstruction of a cavity field state. In the scheme the cavity field is first displaced by a microwave source, and then couples with a three-level Λ-type atom in a Raman manner. After an appropriate interaction time the measurement of the difference between the probabilities of the atom being in two ground states directly yields the Wigner function for the field state. The scheme can be easily generalized to measure the Wigner function of an entangled state of two spatially separated single-mode cavities.

Measurement of entangled states via atomic beam deflection in Bragg’s regime

Ashfaq H. Khosa, Manzoor Ikram, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We propose a scheme for the measurement of joint photon statistics and Wigner function of the entangled field states between two separate cavities. The scheme utilizes the momentum state of the two-level atoms in Bragg's regime. The probability of finding the atom in any one of the momentum states is the product of joint photon statistics and an oscillatory function. The argument of the function contains the information of the joint photon numbers in two cavities. We use the method of state reduction to a single set of joint photon numbers, which is a consequence of the measuring sequence. The repeated measurement of the set of photon numbers gives the joint photon statistics of the entangled field state. The complete entangled state can be reconstructed as a Wigner function from the knowledge of photon statistics of the coherently displaced entangled state.

Determining the state of a single cavity mode from photon statistics

Kurt A. Jacobs, P. L. Knight, Vlatko Vedral

We present various schemes for measuring the quantum state of a single mode of the electromagnetic field. These involve measuring the photon statistics for the mode before and after an interaction with either one or two two-level atoms. The photon statistics conditioned on the final state of the atoms, for two choices of the initial set of atomic states, along with the initial photon statistics, may be used to calculate the complete quantum state in a simple manner. Alternatively, when one atom is used, two unconditioned sets of photon statistics, each after interaction with a single atom in different initial states, along with the initial photon statistics may be used to calculate the initial state in a simple manner. When the cavity is allowed to interact with just one atom, only pure cavity states which do not contain zeros in the photon distribution may be reconstructed. When two atoms are used we may reconstruct pure states which do not contain adjacent zeros in the photon distribution. Coherent states and number states are among those that may be measured with one-atom interaction, and squeezed states and ‚Schrödinger cats‘ are among those that may be measured with a two-atom interaction.
