Coherent superposition of Fock states via adiabatic passage using a four-level atom

Abstract

The behavior of a four-level atom-cavity system is investigated. It is shown that because of a control field, the superposition of Fock states can be prepared, even the cavity is initially not in vacuum state.

Superposition of Fock states via adiabatic passage in a coupled four-level atom–cavity system

Gong Shang-Qing, Jin Shi-Qi, Ruxin Li +2 more

We have investigated the behaviour of an atom–cavity system via a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage technique in a four-level system, in which two dark states are present. We find, because of the coherent control field, that a superposition of Fock states can be prepared, even when the cavity is initially not in its vacuum state. This method provides a way to generate arbitrary quantum states of a cavity field.

Generation of coherent superposition of Fock states in a cavity. Entanglement of atomic coherent states

M. Khanbekyan

A scheme for preparation of coherent superposition of Fock states of electromagnetic field is constructed. The superposition state is created inside the cavity via a strong interaction of a four-level atom with quantum field of the cavity and classic laser fields. We demonstrate the possibility to create desired arbitrary superposition of the cavity Fock states just by changing the relative delay of the fields. Then, as another application of our model, we study a means of creating entanglement of neutral four-level atoms using different sequences of interactions with the cavity and laser fields.

Photon-number-state generation with a single two-level atom in a cavity: a proposal

P. Domokos, M. Brune, J. M. Raimond +2 more

A single two-level atom can be used to prepare an arbitrary photon number state (Fock state) in a high Q cavity . The atom undergoes a controlled succession of interactions with two cavity modes. One of them contains a coherent field. The atom transfers photons one by one from this field to the initially empty second mode. The scheme can be extended to prepare a quantum superposition of the vacuum with a Fock state, a highly non-classical situation. We discuss the feasibility of the experiment with our present Rydberg-atom cavity QED set-up.

Creation of arbitrary coherent superposition states in four-level systems

龚尚庆, 钮月萍

Using the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, we propose schemes for creating arbi- trary coherent superposition states of atoms in four-level systems: a A-type system with twofold final states and a four-level ladder system. With the use of a control field, arbitrary coherent superposition states are created without the condition of multiphoton resonance. Suitable manipulation of detunings and the control field can create either a single state or any superposition states desired. (c) 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.

Creation of arbitrary coherent superposition states in four-level systems

Shangqing Gong, Yueping Niu

Using the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, we propose schemes for creating arbitrary coherent superposition states of atoms in four-level systems: a Λ-type system with twofold final states and a four-level ladder system. With the use of a control field, arbitrary coherent superposition states are created without the condition of multiphoton resonance. Suitable manipulation of detunings and the control field can create either a single state or any superposition states desired.

Photon superposition states in a cavity through adiabatic transfer of Zeeman coherence

A. S. Parkins, P. Marte, P. Zoller +1 more

We propose a novel scheme to prepare Fock states and photon superposition states in a cavity. It is based on the fact that the ground state Zeeman coherence of an atom which is passed through a cavity can be transferred on-to-one to a (coherent) superposition of photon number states of the cavity mode.
