Generation of Entangled Coherent States for Two Separate Cavities
Li-Hua Lin
Abstract
We propose a scheme for the generation of entangled coherent states for two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber. In the scheme, an atom is trapped in the first cavity and driven by a strong classical field. Under the condition that the cavity-fiber coupling is much larger than the atom-cavity coupling, the two cavity modes evolve from a vacuum state to entangled coherent states correlated with the atomic states. During the evolution, the fiber mode is not excited and the fiber loss does not affect the fidelity of the produced state.
