Influence of dissipation on parametric amplification of coupled atomic and optical fields

Abstract

In this paper, the influence of dissipation on the dynamics of a recently proposed model [Phys. Rev. A $60,$ 1491 (1999)] of a strongly far-off-resonant pumped Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with a quantized light field is studied. It is verified that dissipation induces an exponential instability in the field mean intensities for values of parameters where the undamped system is stable. Also considered is the impact of dissipation on the quantum-statistical properties of the light and atomic fields.

Quantum optics of a Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to a quantized light field

M. G. Moore, O. Zobay, Pierre Meystre

We consider the interaction between a Bose-Einstein condensate and a single-mode quantized light field in the presence of a strong far-off-resonant pump laser. The dynamics is characterized by an exponential instability, hence the system acts as an atom-photon parametric amplifier. Triggered by a small injected probe field, or simply by quantum noise, entangled atom-photon pairs are created which exhibit nonclassical correlations similar to those seen between photons in the optical parametric amplifier. In addition, the quantum statistics of the matter and light field depend strongly on the initial state which triggers the amplifier. Thus, by preparing different initial states of the light field, one can generate matter waves in a variety of quantum states, demonstrating optical control over the quantum statistics of matter waves.

Quantum dynamics of a BEC interacting with a single-mode quantized field under the influence of a dissipation process: thermal and squeezed vacuum reservoirs

Ebrahim Ghasemian, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

Abstract In this paper we consider a system consisting of a number of two-level atoms in a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) and a single-mode quantized field, which interact with each other in the presence of two different damping sources, i.e. cavity and atomic reservoirs. The reservoirs which we consider here are thermal and squeezed vacuum ones corresponding to field and atom modes. Strictly speaking, by considering both types of reservoirs for each of the atom and field modes, we investigate the quantum dynamics of the interacting bosons in the system. Then, via solving the quantum Langevin equations for such a dissipative BEC system, we obtain analytical expressions for the time dependence of atomic population inversion, mean atom as well as photon number and quadrature squeezing in the field and atom modes. Our investigations demonstrate that for modeling the real physical systems, considering the dissipation effects is essential. Also, numerical calculations which are presented show that the atomic population inversion, the mean number of atoms in the BEC and the photons in the cavity possess damped oscillatory behavior due to the presence of reservoirs. In addition, non-classical squeezing effects in the field quadrature can be observed especially when squeezed vacuum reservoirs are taken into account. As an outstanding property of this model, we may refer to the fact that one can extract the atom–field coupling constant from the frequency of oscillations in the mentioned quantities such as atomic population inversion.

Optical control and entanglement of atomic Schrödinger fields

M. G. Moore, Pierre Meystre

We develop a fully quantized model of a Bose-Einstein condensate driven by a far off-resonant pump laser and interacting with a single mode of an optical ring cavity. This geometry leads to the generation of two condensate side modes that grow exponentially and are strongly entangled with the cavity mode. By changing the initial state of the optical field one can vary the quantum-statistical properties of the atomic side modes between thermal and coherent limits, as well as vary the degree of quantum entanglement.

Dynamics of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensation interacting with a laser field in a double-well potential

Haijun Wang, Yi Xue-Xi, Xinwu Ba

For the case of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate formed in a symmetrical double-well potential with well-separated minima, the dynamics of Bose-condensed atoms interacting with a single-mode quantized traveling-wave laser field are investigated in detail. By considering the system consisting of the Bose-condensed atoms and laser field with and without dissipation, the eigenstates and eigenvalues of the corresponding Hamiltonian for both cases are obtained. The time development of the Bose-condensed state plays a major role in the discussion. It is shown that the probability of finding all atoms in the Bose-condensed state displays an undamped oscillatory behavior in the absence of dissipation and a damped oscillatory behavior in the presence of dissipation. Moreover, it is found that the tunneling effect can increase the oscillatory frequency among the dressed bosonic states and affect the dynamics of the system. As an application of these results, a characteristic time that may be used to evaluate the number of condensed atoms is introduced.

Chaotic dynamics for a system of two-level atoms interacting with photons

Alexander V. Gorokhov, E. V. Rogacheva, V. V. Ruchkov

Some quantum optical models possessing a transition from regular to chaotic dynamics and influence of 'quantum chaos' to photons statistics are investigated. Particular cases of semiclassical dynamics of a single atom and cooperative system of these atoms with (2j + 1) -- equidistant levels interacting with a quantized photon mode in an ideal cavity were considered. We take into account parametric pumping. Corresponding equations of motion are received without the rotation-wave approximation. It was demonstrated the scenario of transition to chaos, realized by doubling frequencies mechanism with growing of 'atom + field' coupling constant. Chaotic behavior and squeezing degree time dependence were obtained in computer simulations for coupling constant values of order of the atomic frequency, the calculation of the maximal Lyapunov coefficient for the dynamics of many two- level atoms interacting with photon cavity mode as function of 'atoms + field' interaction constant is performed. An influence of possible parametric instabilities of nonlinear media and effects of dissipation for atoms are discussed.

Dissipation and Amplification of Jaynes-Cummings Superposition States

M.S. Kim

There have recently been several proposals for generation of optical superposition states in the resonant atom-field interaction and more practically in microwave cavities. In the present paper we study the influence of the vacuum reservoir on properties of the near-superposition state of the cavity field which is described by the Jaynes-Cummings model at one-half of the revival time. Instead of introducing the cavity loss from the first instance of the atom-field interaction we consider the cavity loss only after the near-superposition state is produced and after the atom leaves the cavity. We solve the corresponding master equation with the initial condition being the Jaynes-Cummings field at one-half of the revival time. We find that under the influence of the vacuum reservoir the photon number distribution of the superposition state we study exhibits certain asymmetry around the mean photon induced by the decay process. We show that an analogous effect can be seen when the Jaynes-Cummings superposition state is amplified. For a basic test of our approach we study the dissipation and amplification of Fock states.
