Abstract
Using a strong driving classical field, we propose experimental schemes for realizing frequency up-and down-conversion in a two-mode cavity by an artificial atom with cyclic population transfer. Our scheme is based on resonant interaction of the cavity modes with a single driven three-level artificial atom, so that the quantum dynamic operation is at a high speed, which is important in view of decoherence. It is shown that frequency up- and down-conversion operations can be realized by initially preparing the artificial atom in a certain state. As an application, we show how to generate a two-mode squeezed state from any initially field state in the cavity.
