Abstract

Entanglement of light and atomic electronic polarization excited during single-pass stimulated Raman scattering is shown to be decomposable into multiple bosonic mode pairs, each pair undergoing independent evolution into a two-mode squeezed state.

Pairwise entanglement and readout of atomic-ensemble and optical wave-packet modes in traveling-wave Raman interactions

Wojciech Wasilewski, Michael G. Raymer

We analyze quantum entanglement of Stokes light and atomic electronic polarization excited during single-pass, linear-regime, stimulated Raman scattering in terms of optical wave-packet modes, and atomic-ensemble spatial modes. The output of this process is confirmed to be decomposable into multiple discrete, Bosonic mode pairs, each pair undergoing independent evolution into a two-mode squeezed state. For this we extend the Bloch-Messiah reduction theorem, previously known for discrete linear systems [S. L. Braunstein, Phys. Rev. A 71, 055801 (2005)]. We present typical mode functions in the case of one-dimensional scattering in an atomic vapor. We find that in the absence of dispersion, one mode pair dominates the process, leading to a simple interpretation of entanglement in this continuous-variable system. However, many mode pairs are excited in the presence of dispersion-induced temporal walkoff of the Stokes, as witnessed by the photon-count statistics. We also consider the readout of the stored atomic polarization using the anti-Stokes scattering process. We prove that the readout process can also be decomposed into multiple mode pairs, each pair undergoing independent evolution analogous to a beam-splitter transformation. We show that this process can have unit efficiency under realistic experimental conditions. The shape of the output light wave packet can be predicted. In the case of unit readout efficiency it contains only excitations originating from a specified atomic excitation mode.

Unconditional Two-Mode Squeezing of Separated Atomic Ensembles

A. S. Parkins, E. Solano, J. I. Cirac

We propose schemes for the unconditional preparation of a two-mode squeezed state of effective bosonic modes realized in a pair of atomic ensembles interacting collectively with optical cavity and laser fields. The scheme uses Raman transitions between stable atomic ground states and under ideal conditions produces pure entangled states in the steady state. The scheme works both for ensembles confined within a single cavity and for ensembles confined in separate, cascaded cavities.

Quantum state entanglement and readout of collective atomic-ensemble modes and optical wave packets by stimulated Raman scattering

M. G. Raymer

A proposal is made for the creation of macroscopic quantum states of collective atomic-ensemble variables by the use of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), followed by conditional optical measurement. After the completion of the SRS process, one is able to reverse the process and to return all the atoms to their ground states in such a way that reads out an arbitrary quantum state of the collective atomic field and writes this state onto the outgoing optical field. This scheme can be used for the creation of entanglement between two distant atomic ensembles. The quantum analysis of the SRS process treats one-dimensional spatial-temporal propagation accurately. Remarkably, it is found that this multimode problem can be simplified to a two-mode problem involving spatial-temporal wave-packet modes of the optical and atomic collective fields. This improves the understanding of the entanglement created in this system.

Mesoscopic entanglement of atomic ensembles through non-resonant stimulated Raman scattering

Atomic ensemble entanglement can be generated by measuring the Stokes fields and verified by measuring the readout anti-Stokes fields. We model the effects of practical factors and find achievable entanglement regimes at mesoscopic-level excitation.

On preparation of the atomic W-states

В. Н. Горбачев, A. A. Rodichkina, Andrew I. Trubilko +1 more

We analyse possibilities for quantum state engineering offered by the resonance Raman type interaction of light with ensembles of two-level atoms taking account relaxation to prepare and control of entangled states. It is found that atomic entanglement of the W-class can be obtained during evolution of atoms interacted with a single mode squeezed light. Two schemes, involving projection measurements that result in multipartite W-like states, are introduced.
