Generalized Two-State Theory for an Atom Laser with Nonlinear Couplings

Jing Hui, Li-Jun Tian

Abstract

We present a generalized two-state theory to investigate the quantum dynamics and statistics of an atom laser with nonlinear couplings. The rotating wave approximate Hamiltonian of the system is proved to be analytically solvable. The fraction of output atoms is then showed to exhibit an interesting collapse and revival phenomenon with respect to the evolution time, a sign of nonlinear couplings. Several nonclassical effects, such as sub-Poissonian distribution, quadrature squeezing effects, second-order cross-correlation and accompanied violation of Cauchy-Schwartz inequality are also revealed for the output matter wave. The initial global phase of the trapped condensate, in weak nonlinear coupling limits, is found to exert an interesting impact on the quantum statistical properties of the propagating atom laser beam.

Nonclassicality of the two-photon laser with Kerr nonlinearity

Faisal H A Mathkoor, Chan Hin Kam, C. H. Raymond Ooi

We have studied the photon statistics of the non-degenerate two-photon laser composed of many noninteracting atoms with Kerr nonlinearity. Nonlinearity of the gain is accounted for by the Lamb–Scully approach. Under certain conditions, we obtain an approximate photon distribution function. In the region above lasing threshold, the first few moments of the photon numbers are calculated analytically, and the threshold condition for stable lasing that depends on the Kerr parameter and detuning are obtained. We analyze the properties of the cavity field through the Mandel Q parameter, second-order correlation functions, Cauchy–Schwarz inequality for a range of Kerr parameters, atomic injection rate, and cavity detuning. Nonclassicality of the field is found through sub-Poissonian statistics, particularly at a low injection rate and high Kerr coupling with negative detuning. These nonclassicality conditions correspond to low photon numbers and depend on the sign of the detuning. The violation of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality also occurs at low photon numbers but over a wide range of parameters, especially at short transient times. Our results show that the two-photon laser with Kerr nonlinearity is a promising quantum nonlinear optical system for developing controllable nonclassical light sources.

Quantum-dynamical theory for squeezing the output of a Bose-Einstein condensate

Hui Jing, Jing‐Ling Chen, Mo‐Lin Ge

A linear quantum dynamical theory for squeezing the output of the trapped Bose-Einstein condensate is presented with the Bogoliubov approximation. We observe that the nonclassical properties, such as sub-Poisson distribution and quadrature squeezing effect, mutually oscillate between the quantum states of the applied optical field and the resulting atom laser beam with time. In particular, it is shown that an initially squeezed optical field will lead to squeezing in the outcoupled atomic beam at later times.

Nonlinear Effects in Quantum Dynamics of Atom Laser: Mean-Field Approach

Jing Hui

Quantum dynamics and statistics of an atom laser with nonlinear binary interactions are investigated in the framework of mean-field approximation. The linearized effective Hamiltonian of the system is accurately solvable. It is shown that, although the input radio frequency field is in an ordinary Glauber coherent state, the output matter wave will periodically exhibit quadrature squeezing effects purely originated from the nonlinear atom-atom collisions.

Squeezing effects of an atom laser: Beyond the linear model

Hui Jing, Jing-Ling Chen, Mo‐Lin Ge

We investigate the quantum dynamics and statistics of an atom laser by taking into account binary atom-atom collisions. The rotating wave approximation Hamiltonian of the system is solved analytically. We show that the nonlinear atom-atom interactions could yield periodic quadrature squeezing effects in the atom laser output beam, although the input radio frequency field is in a Glauber coherent state.

Quantum Statistical Behaviors of Interaction of an Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensate with Laser

Yu Yu, Zhao-Xian, Jiao +1 more

We have investigated quantum statistical behaviors of photons and atoms in interaction of an atomic Bose Einstein condensate with quantized laser field. When the quantized laser field is initially prepared in a superposition state which exhibits holes in its photon-number distribution, while the atomic field is initially in a Fock state, it is found that there is energy exchange between photons and atoms. For the input and output states, the photons and atoms may exhibit the sub-Poissonian distribution. The input and output laser fields may exhibit quadrature squeezing, but for the atomic field, only the output state exhibits quadrature squeezing. It is shown that there exists the violation of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, which means that the correlation between photons and atoms is nonclassical.``
