Abstract

A scheme of quantum nondemolition measurement is proposed for probing the phonon inside a crystal by using the Raman-induced Kerr effect. The results of calculation show that under certain conditions either a backaction evading measurement or a quantum state preparation can be performed.

A scheme has been proposed for the preparation of the squeezed state of a phonon mode using the Raman-induced Kerr effect. The behaviour of initial Stokes light with complex statistics has been studied. It is shown that squeezed-state phonons can be generated under certain conditions.

Quantum nondemolition measurements of to phonons via detecting anti-Stokes field

Guo Guang-gan, Chai Jin-hua

A scheme of quantum nondemolition measurement of transverse optical phonons in a Raman crystal is presented through detecting an anti-Stokes field. The exact solutions of the system is obtained. According to the calculation of the criteria for quantum nondemolition measurements, it is shown that under certain conditions the amplitude quadrature component of the phonon mode can be measured without demolition by the phase quadrature component of the anti-Stokes mode.

Soliton backaction-evading measurement using spectral filtering

Friedrich König, B. C. Buchler, T. Rechtenwald +2 more

We report on a backaction-evading (BAE) measurement of the photon number of fiber-optical solitons operating in the quantum regime. We employ a recently proposed different detection scheme based on spectral filtering of colliding optical solitons. The measurements of the BAE criteria demonstrate significant quantum state preparation and transfer of the input signal to the signal and probe outputs exiting the apparatus, displaying the quantum-nondemolition behavior of the experiment.

Quantum Nondemolition Schemes using Second Order Nonlinearities

Robert M. Shelby, M. D. Levenson

Conventional devices for measuring the amplitude of a light wave absorb the light, thus destroying it. Recently, quantum nondemolition (QND) methods based on the optical Kerr effect have been shown capable of measuring optical amplitude fluctuations with near quantum-limited sensitivity.1 In these experiments, amplitude fluctuations of a signal beam are transferred to the phase fluctuation quadrature of a probe beam which co-propagates with the signal beam, by the intensity-dependent refractive index, without absorption of the signal beam. A pure Kerr nonlinearity can cause only phase modulation of the light wave, and the amplitude of the signal wave is preserved. Such methods should more properly be called back-action evading measurement schemes since the quantity being measured is not perturbed by the back-action that quantum mechanics requires for any measurement. The signal-to-noise ratio achieved in these experiments was limited by the small magnitude of the Kerr nonlinearity relative to the excess phase noise imposed on the probe beam by thermal light scattering processes in the glass fibers that were employed.

Backaction-induced spin-squeezed states in a detuned quantum-nondemolition measurement

Jing Zhang, Kunchi Peng, Samuel L. Braunstein

We propose a scheme for producing entangled spin-squeezed states of an atomic ensemble inside an optical cavity by backaction of a detuned quantum-nondemolition (QND) measurement. By illuminating the atoms with bichromatic light, an interaction Hamiltonian of the cross-Kerr effect between the cavity and atoms is generated to implement QND measurements. The feedback effect is obtained through mixing the phase and amplitude quadratures of the cavity field, due to the detuning of the optical cavity. Therefore the continuous nondemolition measurements are fed back to correct the quantum state of the atomic sample such that unconditional spin squeezing is produced without requiring the use of any external electronics.
