Preparation of superpositions of coherent states of a field via the Raman interaction

Shi-Biao Zheng, Guang‐Can Guo

Abstract

A method is presented for generating superpositions of coherent states of a cavity field via the atom - cavity-field Raman interaction. After an atom has interacted with a cavity field, initially in a coherent state, it is detected through the Raman coupling. Then the cavity field collapses into a Schrödinger cat state.

Preparation of Multicomponent Schrödinger Cat States Through Resonant Atom-Field Interaction

Zheng Shi-Biao

A simple method is presented for generating multicomponent Schrödinger cat states through resonant atom-field interactions. In the scheme n two-level atoms, initially in ground states, are sent through a resonant cavity filled with a strong coherent field sequentially. Then state-selective measurements are performed on the atoms. The detections of the atoms in ground states collapse the cavity field onto a superposition of 2 n coherent states. This is the first way for producing superpositions of many coherent states through resonant atom-field interaction.

Preparation of Highly Squeezed States and Multi-component Entangled Coherent States via the Raman Interaction

Zheng Shi-Biao

A method is presented for generating highly squeezed states of a cavity field via the atom-cavity field interaction of the Raman type. In the scheme a sequence of three-level -type atoms interacts with a cavity field, displaced by a classical source, in a Raman manner. Then the atomic states are measured. By this way the cavity field may collapse onto a superposition of several coherent states, which exhibits strong squeezing. The scheme can also be used to prepare superpositions of many two-mode coherent states for two cavity fields. The coherent states in each mode are on a straight line. This is the first way for preparing multi-component entangled coherent states of this type in cavity QED.

Generation of Superpositions of Atomic Coherent States Through Raman Atom-Field Interaction

Zheng Shi-Biao

We propose a scheme for the generation of superpositions of collective atomic coherent states. In the scheme a collection of degenerate -type three-level atoms is confined in a high- cavity and interacts with the cavity field in a Raman manner. Then a state reduction on the field collapses the atomic system onto a superposition state.

Preparation of Highly Squeezed States and Multi—component Entangled Coherent States via the Raman Interaction

A method is presented for generating highly squeezed states of a cavity field via the atom-cavity field interaction of the Raman type. In the scheme a sequence of three-level A-type atoms interacts with a cavity field, displaced by a classical source, in a Rarman manner. Then the atomic states are measured. By this way the cavity field may collapse onto a superposition of several coherent states, which exhibits strong squeezing. The scheme can also be used to prepare superpositions of many two-mode coherent states for two cavity fields. The coherent states in each mode are on a straight line.

A scheme for the generation of multi-mode Schrödinger cat states

Shi-Biao Zheng

A scheme is proposed for the generation of superpositions of multi-mode coherent states, i.e. multi-mode Schrödinger cat states. In the scheme a -type three-level atom is sent through many cavities filled with coherent fields. The whole system is entangled via the Raman atom-field interaction. Then the detection of the atom leaves the cavity system in a multi-mode cat state. Under certain conditions, such a cat state is identical to a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state and thus can be used to test local realistic theories.
