Electromagnetically induced transparency and nonlinear pulse propagation in a combined tripod and Λ atom-light coupling scheme

Hamid Reza Hamedi, J Ruseckas, Gediminas Juzeliūnas

Abstract We consider propagation of a probe pulse in an atomic medium characterized by a combined tripod and Lambda (Λ) atom-light coupling scheme. The scheme involves three atomic ground states coupled to two excited states by five light fields. It is demonstrated that dark states can be formed for such an atom-light coupling. This is essential for formation of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and slow light. In the limiting cases the scheme reduces to conventional Λ- or N -type atom-light couplings providing the EIT or absorption, respectively. Thus, the atomic system can experience a transition from the EIT to the absorption by changing the amplitudes or phases of control lasers. Subsequently the scheme is employed to analyze the nonlinear pulse propagation using the coupled Maxwell–Bloch equations. It is shown that a generation of stable slow light optical solitons is possible in such a five-level combined tripod and Λ atomic system.

Fifth-order nonlinearity and 3-qubit phase gate in a five-level tripod atomic system

Fuli Li, Ying Gu, Lijun Wang +1 more

We first investigate the nonlinear optical response of a five-level tripod atomic system in electromagnetically induced transparency and then propose a 3-qubit phase gate protocol based on the fifth-order nonlinearity. The cross-phase modulation among the three weak fields induced by the fifth-order nonlinearity in electromagnetically induced transparency can produce the phase shift of order π, which can be used to realize the 3-qubit polarization phase gate. This protocol should have potential applications in quantum information processing.

Transparency, slow light and enhanced nonlinear optics in a four-level scheme

Emmanuel Paspalakis

We analyse the interaction of three laser fields with a four-level quantum system in a tripod configuration. We obtain an analytical expression for the steady state linear susceptibility of a probe laser field and show that the system can exhibit double electromagnetically induced transparency with controlled group velocity. We also show that a coherently prepared tripod scheme can be used for efficient nonlinear generation of new laser fields.
