Continuous Pump Assisted Conditional Synthesis of Nonclassical States in a Dispersive Cavity QED

Abstract

The interaction of N identical atoms with both a quantized cavity field and an external classical pumping field with the fields being degenerate in frequency, is studied in the regime where the atoms and fields are highly detuned. This dispersive interaction can be used to generate coherent states for the cavity field. By preparing the injected atoms in a superposition of the bare atomic states, various types of Schrödinger-cat-like states may be generated.

The interaction of N two-level atoms with both a two-mode cavity field and an external classical pumping field,and with the fields being degenerate in frequency,is studied in the regime where the atoms and fields are highly detuned.This dispersive interaction can be used to generate a large number of important entangled coherent states conditional on the initial atomic states and state-selective measurements.A dynamical relation is established between the results for the case with continuous pumping and the case without external driving where the coherent field is put in as the initial condition.

Conditional state generation in a dispersive atom-cavity field interaction with a continuous external pump field

Christopher C. Gerry

The interaction of an atom with both a quantized cavity field and an external classical driving field, the fields being degenerate in frequency, is studied in the regime where the atom and fields are highly detuned. The atom interacts dispersively with the quantized field but the classical driving field gives rise to the creation or destruction of photons conditional on the state of the atom. We show how this interaction can be used to generate coherent states of the cavity field and various forms of superpositions of macroscopically distinct states. This method is in contrast to the usual method used in microwave cavity QED of injecting a coherent state into a cavity via a waveguide attached to a klystron and where subsequently Schr\"odinger cat states may be generated by manipulating the field with injected atoms. The method proposed here could possibly be used in the case of an optical cavity. Further, we show that coherent states may be generated in the steady state from the competition between the driven dispersion interaction and dissipative single-photon losses, a form of optical balance.

Measurement-induced generation of Schrödinger cat states in cavity QED

Tong Wang, Peng-Fei Wei, Hai-Jun Xing +1 more

Schrödinger cat states, representing coherent superpositions of macroscopically distinguishable states, are indispensable nonclassical resources for continuous-variable quantum information processing. Existing generation protocols typically rely on strong nonlinear interactions, complicated control techniques, or engineered dissipation, posing challenges for experimental implementation. Here, we propose a simple measurement-based protocol for generating Schrödinger cat states in a cavity-QED system by combining coherent driving, dispersive atom--cavity interactions, and atomic postselection. The atom--cavity interaction establishes coherent correlations between the atomic and photonic degrees of freedom, while the subsequent atomic postselection projects the cavity field onto a non-Gaussian superposition state with pronounced Wigner negativity. Numerical simulations based on the Lindblad master equation show that the generated Schrödinger cat states remain robust against moderate cavity dissipation. Our results demonstrate that conditional atomic measurements provide an effective and experimentally accessible approach for preparing nonclassical cavity states without relying on strong optical nonlinearities or engineered dissipation.
