Abstract

We demonstrate second-order phase transition in optical parametric oscillators corresponding to a transition from degenerate to non-degenerate oscillation at a critical cavity detuning which can be utilized for enhanced sensing, and information processing.

Ground-state phase transitions of the degenerate parametric amplifier

Christopher C. Gerry

Ground-state phase transitions of the degenerate parametric amplifier assuming the pump mode in an ordinary coherent state and the signal mode in an SU(1,1) coherent state are discussed. A second-order phase transition with the coupling constant playing the role of a control parameter is found. The lower-energy state can be a squeezed state in the signal mode. An additional anharmonic term related to optical bistability is shown to enhance the effect.

Nonlinear optics at maximum coherence

Stephen E. Harris, G. Y. Yin, M. Jain +2 more

We describe nonlinear optical processes which utilize maximum coherence of a non–allowed transition. The nonlinear susceptibility for such processes is of the same order of magnitude as is the linear susceptibility. This allows frequency converters and optical parametric oscillators with bandwidths which are on order of their centre frequency.

Investigating Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model and Criticality-Enhanced Metrology in a Coherent Ising Machine

Shuang-Quan Ma, Jing-Yi-Ran Jin, Chen-Rui Fan +2 more

Quantum criticality has received extensive attention due to its ability to significantly enhance quantum sensing. But its realization and control in many-body quantum systems remain challenging. We present an effective scheme to simulate the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model using a coherent Ising machine (CIM) composed of a network of degenerate optical parametric oscillators (DOPO). In our work, the spin variables of the LMG model are mapped onto the phases of DOPO pulses, and the spin-spin interactions are realized by all-to-all couplings among them. Through our investigation of the critical behavior in the antiferromagnetically coupled LMG model in the thermodynamic limit, i.e., $N\rightarrow\infty$, and its application in quantum sensing near the critical point, we verify that the CIM does not only effectively capture the second-order quantum phase transition (QPT) at the critical point but also reconstructs its complete phase diagram under ferromagnetic coupling. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the critical dynamics of this simulation platform can be utilized for quantum-enhanced metrology, achieving a measurement precision that diverges near the critical point of the LMG model. These results highlight the capability of the CIM as a flexible experimental platform for investigating the QPT in the fundamental quantum magnetic models, providing valuable insights into quantum simulation and critical phenomena.
