Quantum Nondemolition Measurement in Two-Photon Optical Bistability

Yang Guojian, Wang Kaige

Published Oct 30, 1997• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We evaluate the effectiveness of the quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement scheme in an effective two-level atomic configuration by using the input–output formalism and the quantum regression theorem. The QND capability can be promoted greatly as the cavity detuning is swept towards the bistability threshold.

Formulation of Optical Quantum Nondemolition Criteria in Linearized Systems

W. Kaige, Yang Guojian

We apply the quantum regression theorem and the input-output relation of the single-ended cavity to the linearized systems, and formulate the optical quantum nondemolition (QND) criteria. In an application, we discuss squeezing and QND nature for a crossed Kerr dispersive model.

Quantum-nondemolition measurement by a two-photon transition in the presence of the Stark shift

Guojan Yang, Kaige Wang

We evaluate the effectiveness of a quantum-nondemolition measurement scheme in an effective two-level atomic configuration in the presence of the Stark shift. We compare the prediction of this model with that of its full cascade three-level counterpart and analyze the relationship between the quantum-nondemolition gain and the dynamic instability of the system.

Quantum nondemolition measurements in optical cavities

P. M. Alsing, Gerard J Milburn, Daniel F. Walls

We analyze schemes for performing quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements in optical cavities. We consider three schemes: (1) measurement of a quadrature phase amplitude using a parametric process, (2) measurement of a quadrature phase amplitude using the optical Kerr effect in a nonlinear fiber, and (3) measurement of the photon number also using the Kerr effect in a fiber. We show that in the second scheme an enhancement of the QND effect may be obtained by making the cavity finesse for the signal larger than that for the probe.

Quantum-nondemolition measurements using ghost transitions

Klaus M. Gheri, Philippe Grangier, J.-Ph. Poizat +1 more

We present a detailed analysis of the quantum-nondemolition (QND) properties of a measurement scheme employing coherently driven three-level atoms in the \ensuremath{\Lambda} or cascade configuration inside an optical cavity. We propose to use a strong signal field to empty one of the transitions and dress the signal-transition levels. The atoms become transparent for the signal beam, which sees a ``ghost transition.'' When a probe is applied and tuned to the vicinity of one of the light-shifted levels, the probe phase is extremely sensitive to fluctuations of the signal intensity. This enhances the QND coupling and enables the system to operate at lower cooperativities.

Quantum-nondemolition measurement of photon arrival using an atom-cavity system

Kunihiro Kojima, Akihisa Tomita

A simple and efficient quantum-nondemolition measurement (QND) scheme is proposed in which the arrival of a signal photon is detected without affecting the qubit state. The proposed QND scheme functions even if the ancillary photon is replaced with weak light composed of vacuum and one-photon states. Although the detection scheme is designed for entanglement sharing applications, it is also suitable for general purification of a single-photon state.
