Abstract

We report on a scalable method for generating multiple quantum correlated beams by using cascaded four-wave mixing processes in hot rubidium vapor. As the number of quantum modes increases, so does the total degree of quantum correlations.

Experimental Generation of Multiple Quantum Correlated Beams from Hot Rubidium Vapor

Quantum correlations and entanglement shared among multiple quantum modes are important for both fundamental science and the future development of quantum technologies. This development will also require an efficient quantum interface between multimode quantum light sources and atomic ensembles, which makes it necessary to implement multimode quantum light sources that match the atomic transitions. Here, we report on such a source that provides a method for generating quantum correlated beams that can be extended to a large number of modes by using multiple four-wave mixing (FWM) processes in hot rubidium vapor. Experimentally, we show that two cascaded FWM processes produce strong quantum correlations between three bright beams but not between any two of them. In addition, the intensity-difference squeezing is enhanced with the cascaded system to -7.0±0.1 dB from the -5.5±0.1/-4.5±0.1 dB squeezing obtained with only one FWM process. One of the main advantages of our system is that as the number of quantum modes increases, so does the total degree of quantum correlations. The proposed method is also immune to phase instabilities due to its phase insensitive nature, can easily be extended to multiple modes, and has potential applications in the production of multiple quantum correlated images.

Experimental generation of quadruple quantum-correlated beams from hot rubidium vapor by cascaded four-wave mixing using spatial multiplexing

Leiming Cao, Jian Feng Qi, Jinjian Du +1 more

Multimode quantum states, such as multipartite quantum entanglement or quantum correlations, are important for both fundamental science and the future development of quantum technologies. Here we theoretically propose and experimentally realize a scheme that can fully exploit the multi-spatial-mode nature of the four-wave-mixing (FWM) process, i.e., spatial multiplexing, and thus integrates multiple FWM processes into a single cell at each stage of the cascaded process. The number of generated quantum-correlated beams ${2}^{n}$ is exponentially dependent on the number of vapor cells $n$. In addition, the quantum correlations between the multiple beams also increase as the number of vapor cell increases. For the case of $n=2$, we experimentally show that the degree of intensity-difference squeezing between the four quantum-correlated beams in our scheme is enhanced to $\ensuremath{-}8.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2$ dB from $\ensuremath{-}5.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3$ and $\ensuremath{-}6.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2$ dB of squeezing obtained with a single FWM process. Our system may find applications in quantum information and precision measurement.
