Formulation of Optical Quantum Nondemolition Criteria in Linearized Systems

W. Kaige, Yang Guojian

Published Apr 30, 1999• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

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 in Two-Photon Optical Bistability

Yang Guojian, Wang Kaige

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.

Quantum-nondemolition-measurement scheme using a Kerr medium

A. N. Chaba, Matthew J. Collett, Daniel F. Walls

In this paper, we present a theoretical study of the quantum-nondemolition properties of a scheme that uses a Kerr medium in a double-ended cavity with both the signal and the probe inputs being coherent fields incident from the two sides. We find that with a suitable choice of parameters this system satisfies almost perfectly the criteria for quantum-nondemolition measurements.

Enhancement of quantum nondemolition measurements with an electro-optic feed-forward amplifier

B. C. Buchler, Ping Koy Lam, Timothy C. Ralph

Methods for the enhancement of optical quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements are discussed. We review the use of meter squeezing as a QND enhancement tool and present a method of QND enhancement using an electro-optic feed-forward amplifier. By applying a linearized theory it is shown that these techniques work very well together. The combined effect of these enhancement methods is modeled for two QND systems, a squeezed light beam splitter and an optical parametric amplifier. We also discuss the conflict between the normal QND criteria and QND systems that involve noiseless amplification. We use an additional parameter to quantify the problem. A method for correcting the effects of noiseless amplification is discussed and modeled. We also discuss a special case of QND that eliminates the optical interaction between the meter and signal input beams. This system is shown to be a very effective QND device.

Nondemolition filters for quantum systems

J.W. Clark, TZYH JONG TARN

The paper is concerned with the formulation of a continuous-time quantum-mechanical filter. In a previous paper (Ong et al., 1984), the invertibility of a quantum system coupled to a weak time-dependent classical field was studied. The physical system is modeled as an infinite-dimensional bilinear system. Necessary and sufficient conditions of invertibility were derived under the assumption that the output observable is a quantum nondemolition observable (QNDO), characterized by the classical property that its expected value is equal to its measured value. In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are developed for an observable to qualify as a QNDO; if in addition the criteria for invertibility are met, the given observable defines a quantum nondemolition filter (QNDF). The associated filtering algorithm thus separates cleanly into the choice of output observable (a QNDO) and the choice of procedure for processing the measurement outcomes. This approach has the advantage over previous schemes that no optimization is necessary. Applications to demodulation of optical signals and to the detection and monitoring of gravitational waves are envisioned.

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 for quantum information

We discuss the characterization and properties of quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements on qubit systems. We introduce figures of merit which can be applied to systems of any Hilbert space dimension, thus providing universal criteria for characterizing QND measurements. The controlled-NOT gate and an optical implementation are examined as examples of QND devices for qubits. We also consider the QND measurement of weak values.
