Physical Review A

Violation of Bell’s inequality in the resonance fluorescence of two strongly driven two-level atoms

Abstract

The violation of Bell's inequality in collective resonance fluorescence of two strongly driven two-level atoms is discussed. Our proposal and calculations are essentially based on the two-mode source experiment of Reid and Walls [Phys. Rev. A 34, 1260 (1986)]. The two modes in our case consist of the highly correlated sidebands of the Mollow triplet in the resonance-fluorescence spectrum.

Sideband entanglement in collective resonance fluorescence

Xuehua Zhang, Xiangming Hu

We examine the quantum correlation between the Mollow sidebands in the collective resonance fluorescence from a strongly driven ensemble of two-level atoms. By using the criterion proposed by Shchukin and Vogel, we show that non-Gaussian entanglement exists between the two separated sidebands. The responsible mechanism is traced to the spontaneous parametric process, in which the nonclassical correlation is established. This suggests that the collective resonance fluorescence provides a continuous source for the non-Gaussian entangled light and thus has great potentials for various applications in quantum information and quantum computation.

Resonance fluorescence from atoms in a cavity

A.S. Shumovsky, Tran Quang

We consider the problem of resonance fluorescence from N two-level atoms interacting with an intense cavity mode. The novel results for the spectral and statistical properties of the fluorescence field, which are quite different from collective resonance fluorescence in a free space, are obtained. The correlation, anti-correlation between spectrum components and violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality are discussed.

Resonance Fluorescence in a Squeezed Vacuum

H. J. Carmichael, Alistair S. Lane, Daniel F. Walls

Fluorescence from a coherently driven two-level atom that is damped by a squeezed vacuum is studied. We show that the mean atomic polarization depends on the relative phases of the squeezed vacuum and the coherent driving field. The fluorescent spectrum is calculated and shows several modifications over the spectrum for normal resonance fluorescence. In particular, the central peak of the Mollow triplet has a linewidth that depends on the phase of the driving field. For strong squeezing this peak can either be much narrower or much broader than the natural linewidth of the atom.

Squeezing via mixing of two modes in a system of driven two-level atoms

Tran Quang

The squeezing in a mixture of two high-Q cavity modes interacting with strongly driven two-level atoms is discussed for the case in which these two modes are located near the two sidebands of collective resonance fluorescence. The collective effects, cavity damping, and thermal field are accounted for. For suitable values of the parameters of the system, as in recent experiments with Rydberg atoms, a large squeezing can be obtained.

Resonance Fluorescence from a two-level artificial atom strongly coupled to a single-mode cavity

Zhihui Peng, He, D., Y. Zhou +8 more

We experimentally demonstrate the resonance fluorescence of a two-level artificial atom strongly coupled to a single-mode cavity field. The effect was theoretically predicted thirty years ago by Savage [Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 1376 (1989)]. The system consists of a superconducting qubit circuit and a one-dimensional transmission line resonator. In addition, a one-dimensional transmission line strongly coupled to the atom serves as an open space. The effect takes place, when a microwave field is applied to the cavity, which in turn is resonantly coupled to the atom. The fluorescence spectrum is measured via the emission into the transmission line. We find that the central peak is determined by the atom spontaneous emission to the open space and the widths of side peaks are largely determined by the coherent interaction between the atom and the cavity, that is, the fluorescence spectrum here is very different from that of the Mollow triplet. We also derive analytical form for the spectrum. Our experimental results agree well with theoretical calculations.

Cooperative fluorescence from a strongly driven dilute cloud of atoms

J. R. Ott, Martijn Wubs, Peter Lodahl +2 more

We investigate cooperative fluorescence in a dilute cloud of strongly driven two-level emitters. Starting from the Heisenberg equations of motion, we compute the first-order scattering corrections to the saturation of the excited-state population and to the resonance-fluorescence spectrum, which both require going beyond the state-of-the-art linear-optics approach to describe collective phenomena. A dipole blockade is observed due to long-range dipole-dipole coupling that vanishes at stronger driving fields. Furthermore, we compute the inelastic component of the light scattered by a cloud of many atoms and find that the Mollow triplet is affected by cooperativity. In a lobe around the forward direction, the inelastic Mollow triplet develops a spectral asymmetry, observable under experimental conditions.
