Physical Review A

Observation of correlated atom-photon pairs on the single-particle level

Abstract

We report on an experimental observation of correlated atom-photon pairs produced in an atom-optical experiment. The pairs are generated from an excited atom that spontaneously emit a single photon. Clear evidence for the pair identification as well as correlation measurements in the atomic motion are reported.

Quantum entanglement of optical photons: the first experiment, 1964–67

Carl A. Kocher

The first experimental observation of entangled visible light was achieved by optically exciting free atoms of calcium and detecting pairs of photons emitted in a two-stage cascade. The polarizations of the entangled photons were observed to be correlated, in agreement with quantum theory. This review describes the rationale, methodology, challenges, and results, including experimental details not previously published.

Atom-mediated nonlinear photon-pair generation using photonic band-gap modes

Sina Saravi, Alexander N. Poddubny, Thomas Pertsch +2 more

By coupling a photonic band-gap mode to a 2-level emitter, we enable the otherwise forbidden photon-pair generation by spontaneous parametric down-conversion in the nonlinear photonic system, leading to excitation of the atom and single-photon emission.

An atom and a photon

The coherent control of single-photon emitters as, e.g., single ions or atoms, is a crucial element for mapping quantum information between light and matter. The possibility of generating entanglement between a photon and the emitter system provides an interface between matter-based quantum memories and photonic quantum communication channels, which is the essential resource for quantum repeaters and other future quantum information applications. To generate entangled atom-photon states, in our experiment, we store a single 87 Rb atom in an optical dipole trap. The single-atom/single-photon character is confirmed by the observation of photon antibunching in the detected fluorescence light. The spectral properties of single photons emitted by the atom allowed us to determine the mean kinetic energy of the atom corresponding to 105 μK. We describe a single-atom state analysis method which allowed us to characterize the entanglement between the atom and a single photon emitted in the spontaneous decay. We obtain an entanglement fidelity of 89% that clearly shows the high degree of entanglement in our system and potential for further applications in quantum communication.

Atom microscopy via two-photon spontaneous emission spectroscopy

Sajid Qamar, Jörg Evers, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We study subwavelength position measurement via spontaneous emission spectroscopy with two photons. Our model systems are a single $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type three-level atom, in which a dual interaction generates two independent photons, and an $M$-type five-level atom, which emits two photons in a double-Raman process. The difference is that the $M$-type system emits correlated pairs of photons, while the photon pairs from the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ system are uncorrelated. In order to evaluate the performance of the position measurement, we introduce an analysis scheme motivated by a possible experimental measurement procedure. We find characteristic differences in the spontaneous emission spectra of the two systems arising from the photon correlation in the $M$-type system. But interestingly, the effect of this photon pair correlation on the conditional position probability distribution does not lead to an increase in the position information of the single atom. Nevertheless, both schemes allow for an efficient measurement of the particle position with unambiguous position determination over a wide range of parameters.

Two-cavity-mediated photon-pair emission by one atom

Gianvito Chiarella, Tobias Frank, Pau Farrera +1 more

Photon-pair sources are widely used in quantum optics and quantum information experiments. Despite their broad deployment, there has not yet been an on-demand implementation with efficient into-fiber photon generation and high single-photon purity. Here we report on such a source based on a single atom with three energy levels in ladder configuration and coupled to two optical fiber cavities. We efficiently generate photon pairs with an in-fiber emission efficiency of η pair =16(1)% and study their temporal correlation properties. We simulate theoretically a regime with strong atom–cavity coupling and find that photons are directly emitted from the ground state, i.e., without atomic population in any intermediate state. We propose a scenario to observe such a double-vacuum-stimulated effect experimentally.
