Quantum-state transfer between tripod atoms over a dark fiber

Abstract

In this work we introduce a model for quantum-state transfer between tripod atoms over a dark fiber. Two tripod atoms are confined in separate cavities linked by an optical fiber. The cavities and the fiber sustain two optical modes of opposite circular polarization. For each atom, the two ground states encode the quantum state to be transferred and are coupled to a common excited state by the cavity modes of opposite polarization. The remaining transition for each atom is used to control the transfer process. We demonstrate that by using laser pulses the dynamics of the system can be confined within a degenerate dark state subspace, with the different dark states interacting via nonadiabatic couplings. We solve analytically the dynamics in the dark state subspace, and determine the conditions on the pulse shape for the implementation of the quantum transfer. We identify a possible pulse shape which satisfies the required conditions, and demonstrate the quantum-state transfer via numerical simulations.

Transferring anN-atom state between two distant cavities via an optical fiber

Ma Song-She, Chen Mei-Feng

This paper proposes a scheme for transferring an N -atom state between two distant cavities via an optical fiber. The scheme is based on adiabatic passage along a dark state. In the scheme, all the atoms are always in ground state, the field mode of the fiber remains in vacuum state, and the field mode of the cavities being excited can be negligible under certain conditions. Therefore, the scheme is very robust against decoherence. The successful probability of implementing the quantum state transfer increases with increasing number of atoms. Furthermore, the interaction time does not need to be accurately adjusted as long as the adiabaticity condition is fulfilled.

Quantum state transfer between distant nodes of a quantum network via adiabatic passage

Yan‐Li Zhou, Yimin Wang, Long-Long Liang +1 more

A scheme is presented to realize transfer of a three-dimensional quantum state between two atoms trapped in distant cavities connected by an optical fiber, whose mode is resonant with the polarization cavity modes. Performing an adiabatic passage along dark states, the fiber mode remains in the vacuum state and the population of the cavities being excited can be negligible under certain conditions. In addition, atomic transitions in our scheme are largely detuned from cavity modes. As a consequence, the atomic spontaneous emission and the fiber decay can be effectively eliminated. Furthermore, we give some discussions about the fidelity of our scheme.

Quantum processing by adiabatic transfer through a manifold of dark states

Santosh Kumar, Deepak Kumar

We consider a network whose nodes are electromagnetic cavities, each coupled to a single three-level atom. The nodes are connected by optical fibers. Each atom is addressed by a control laser, which along with the cavity field drives atomic transitions. The network can be in the form of chain or two- and three-dimensional arrays of $N$ cavities connected by ${N}_{B}$ fibers. Following the work on a two-cavity system by Pellizzari, we find that under certain conditions the system possesses two kinds of dark states. The first kind are $N$ states corresponding to atomic excitations at each node and these are our logical states for quantum processing. The second kind are ${N}_{B}$ degenerate dark states on pairs of sites connected by a fiber. By manipulating intensities and phases of control lasers on the cavities, one can pass adiabatically among these dark states due to their degeneracy. This network operates as an $N$-level quantum system in which one can generate computationally useful states by protocols of external controls. We obtain numerical results for small chains and lattices to demonstrate some quantum operations such as the transport of states across the array, generation of $W$ states, and Fourier-like states. We also discuss effects of dissipation and limitations of the model.

Quantum state transfer between atomic ensembles trapped in separate cavities via adiabatic passage

Chun‐Ling Zhang, Meifeng Chen

We propose a new approach for quantum state transfer (QST) between atomic ensembles separately trapped in two distant cavities connected by an optical fiber via adiabatic passage. The three-level Λ-type atoms in each ensemble dispersively interact with the nonresonant classical field and cavity mode. By choosing appropriate parameters of the system, the effective Hamiltonian describes two atomic ensembles interacting with “the same cavity mode” and has a dark state. Consequently, the QST between atomic ensembles can be implemented via adiabatic passage. Numerical calculations show that the scheme is robust against moderate fluctuations of the experimental parameters. In addition, the effect of decoherence can be suppressed effectively. The idea provides a scalable way to an atomic-ensemble-based quantum network, which may be reachable with currently available technology.

Analysis of adiabatic transfer in cavity QED

Joyee Ghosh, Rupamanjari Ghosh, Deepak Kumar

A three-level atom in a $Λ$ configuration trapped in an optical cavity forms a basic unit in a number of proposed protocols for quantum information processing. Through control with an appropriate laser, this system allows for efficient storage of cavity photons into long-lived atomic excitations, and their retrieval with high fidelity. This process presumes an adiabatic transfer through the `dark state', a coherent superposition of the two lower levels of the $Λ$ system, by a slow variation of the intensity of the control laser. We study the full quantum mechanics of this transfer process with a view to examine the nonadiabatic effects, as the control laser is varied in time. The nonadiabatic effects arise due to inevitable excitations of the system to states involving the highest level of the $Λ$ configuration, which is radiative. We formulate the problem in terms of the instantaneous eigenstates and solve it numerically, allowing for spontaneous decays from the excited level. We present detailed results for both storage and retrieval for a suitable range of variation rates and intensity of the control laser, and examine optimum conditions for the transfer process.
