We present a scheme to remotely prepare a photon–photon entangled state via entanglement swapping in cavity QED. Using two successive processes of appropriate atom–cavity interaction and subsequent measurements, we obtain the entangled state with certain probability.
A relatively simple scheme for generating maximally entangled photon-photon and atom-photon states via entanglement swapping using techniques of cavity QED is proposed.The scheme of preparing the maximally entangled photon-photon state does not require the transfer of quantum information between the atoms and cavity.In the scheme the cavity is only virtually excited and thus the requirement on the quality factor of the cavity is greatly loosened.The scheme of preparing the maximally entangled atom-photon state based on the two-photon JaynesCummings model only requires detecting the state of the single atom rather than a joint-Bell measurement.
We propose an experimental scheme to prove the photon commutation relation, [ a , a † ]=1. The scheme exploits interaction between a single-mode cavity field and three two-level atoms, two of which are prepared in an entangled state. The success of the scheme is subject to observation of the atoms in predetermined states after the interaction. We show, in particular, that a reasonably high success probability can be obtained with our scheme by preparing the cavity field in a superposition of two Fock states and choosing the interaction times appropriately.
A scheme for remote preparation of field (atomic) states is proposed. Protocol execution requires cavity QED based atom-field interactions successively supplemented with Ramsey interferometry. The state to be remotely prepared at the receiver's end is acquired by deterministically manipulating the sender's component of the pre-shared entangled state. In the case of field entanglement, it is carried out with the help of an atom that passes through the sender's cavity and then traverses a classical external field for specified times prior to detection. However, for atomic entangled states, only interactions with the classical field suffice to complete the task. The scheme guarantees good success probability with high fidelity and requires one bit of classical communication.
