Abstract

How to store and process the quantum information is one of the core issues for the present study of quantum information.With numerical simulation method,the process of stored photonic information was based on the technique of electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT).And then,the influence on the storing process by changes of the coupling coefficient between the signal light and the atom,the atoms relaxation rate,and the controlling light were discussed.It shows that the output signal impulse is stronger with great strength of the coupling coefficient and the controlling light,and weaker with great atoms relaxation rate.Furthermore,the storage position is influenced by the intensity of controlling light.

Quantum storage of optical signals and coherent manipulation of quantum states based on electromagnetically induced transparency

Hai Wang, Changde Xie, Kunchi Peng

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) techniques are important tools for the storage of the quantum states of light fields in atomic ensembles and for enhancement of the interaction between photons. In this paper, we briefly summarize the recent experimental studies conducted by our group on enhanced cross-phase modulation based on double EIT effects, the quantum interference of stored dual-channel spin-wave excitations and the coherent manipulation of the spin wave vector for the polarization of photons in a single tripod atomic system. The work presented here has potential application in the developing field of quantum information processing.

Controlled EIT and signal storage in metamaterial with tripod structure

S. Zielińska-Raczyńska, David Ziemkiewicz

In the present paper we have discussed in detail electromagnetically induced transparency and signal storing in the case of one signal pulse propagating in a classical electric medium resembles this of four-level atoms in the tripod configuration. Our theoretical results confirm recently observed dependence of transparency windows position on coupling parameters. In the process of storing, the pulse energy is confined inside the metamaterial as electric charge oscillations, and after required time it is possible to switch the control fields on again and to release the trapped signal. By manipulating the driving fields, one can thus control the parameters of the released signal and even to divide it on demand into arbitrary parts.

Light storage in an optically thick atomic ensemble under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency and four-wave mixing

Nathaniel B. Phillips, Alexey Vyacheslavovich Gorshkov, Irina V. Novikova

We study the modification of a traditional electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) stored-light technique that includes both EIT and four-wave mixing (FWM) in an ensemble of hot Rb atoms. The standard treatment of light storage involves the coherent and reversible mapping of one photonic mode onto a collective spin coherence. It has been shown that unwanted, competing processes such as four-wave mixing are enhanced by EIT and can significantly modify the signal optical pulse propagation. We present theoretical and experimental evidence to indicate that, while a Stokes field is indeed detected upon retrieval of the signal field, any information originally encoded in a seeded Stokes field is not independently preserved during the storage process. We present a simple model that describes the propagation dynamics of the fields and the impact of FWM on the spin wave.

Reversible storage of multiple light pulses in the EIT atomic medium

祝曙光, 徐安士, 张瑜 +3 more

In this paper, we first present a full numerical simulation for the trapping and retrieval procedure of eight continuing 1 Guassian pulses (i.e., 11111111) in the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)medium. This simulation shows that an EIT medium has the ability to store multiple light pulses in a shape-preserving way. And we also, for the first time, give the formula evaluating the maximum number of pulses that can be stored by an EIT medium at one time. This work reveals a new possible way to the reversible storage of the photonic information.

Slow And Stored Light Under Conditions Of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency And Four Wave Mixing In An Atomic Vapor

Nathaniel B. Phillips

The recent prospect of efficient, reliable, and secure quantum communication relies on the ability to coherently and reversibly map nonclassical states of light onto long-lived atomic states. A promising technique that accomplishes this employs Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT), in which a strong classical control field modifies the optical properties of a weak signal field in such a way that a previously opaque medium becomes transparent to the signal field. The accompanying steep dispersion in the index of refraction allows for pulses of light to be decelerated, then stored as an atomic excitation, and later retrieved as a photonic mode. This dissertation presents the results of investigations into methods for optimizing the memory efficiency of this process in an ensemble of hot Rb atoms. We have experimentally demonstrated the effectiveness of two protocols for yielding the best memory efficiency possible at a given atomic density. Improving memory efficiency requires operation at higher optical depths, where undesired effects such as four-wave mixing (FWM) become enhanced and can spontaneously produce a new optical mode (Stokes field). We present the results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the FWM-EIT interaction under continuous-wave (cw), slow light, and stored light conditions. In particular, we provide evidence that indicates that while a Stokes field is generated upon retrieval of the signal field, any information originally encoded in a seeded Stokes field is not independently preserved during the storage process. We present a simple model that describes the propagation dynamics and provides an intuitive description of the EIT-FWM process.

Stopping and storing a light pulse in an ultracold atomic medium

Kaige Wang, Fanglin Peng, Guojian Yang

We perform a full numerical simulation of the electromagnetically induced transparency model in which a signal field can be stored and retrieved by adiabatically changing the control field. The numerical results imitate the detailed transfer process of a signal pulse between light and matter that corresponds with a recent experiment and the theoretical analysis.
